Looking forward to 2011


Now that I am Skyeler's competition manager I am officially taking over the blog. I will be reporting to you every week letting you all know what is going on around the farm! First and foremost, I would like to welcome our new barn manager, Trudy Oxtoby. All of us at Angelica Run are very lucky to have her from across the pond (England) and we make a great team. Trudy always says "there is no I in team."

As you all know the winter has started off to be pretty brutal, between the 50 mph wind gusts, and the below freezing temperatures we have been forced to trailer the entire crew to an indoor every day. All of our hard work paid off yesterday at our first Angelica Run winter outing at the Frying pan Jumper show. We would like to send a big thank you to everyone who helped make competing 11 horses seem easy! A few of Skyeler's students (Anisa Gamble, Tess Bernhard, Lily Bernhard, and Mackenzie Crol) did very well at their first show. Skyeler's young horses Alabee, Arabella, and Accolade proved to be good little show jumpers when they finished with 7 clear rounds. Later in the day, Tika and Story had their show jumping skills tested in the massive 3' jumper division. Needless to say they both did a great job. After being at the show for 12 hours we were all ready to thaw out on our couches at home. A job well done, Angelica run! Hope everyone has a happy Holiday!

Until next time,

Connor
