Hi Horse Pals,
We had a really awesome event at our barn that we wanted to share with you all. There is an organization called the Willie Ross Foundation that offers a therapeutic riding program at our barn and they recently held a fundraising event at the barn that was so fun!
It was so strange to walk up to the stables and see and hear a band playing in our arena!! The theme was a Hawaiian ranch luau and some of the cowgirls at our barn did hula dances, and there was even a fire throwing show.
Dori, the dressage trainer at our barn, did a demonstration on her beautiful horse, Niko. You can actually check him out in our DVD, Stable Days.

After her riding demo, Dori talked about Niko's breed (a Welsh pony) and how they were bred for war. She had me get in the arena to show the audience how these horses could maneuver quickly and effortlessly around a human on the battlefield.
Then, our trainer, Lisa did a jumping demonstration. Avery and I were part of the Dynasty Farms crew who set up and tore down the jumps. We had so much fun!!
Lisa rode Meritage who looked so beautiful!
Even Dandy got in on the fun with lots of visitors with yummy treats!
And of course, I couldn't pass up a day to get in the saddle and have some fun myself!
We donated 2 Stable Days DVDs and one of our horse t-shirts and tote bags for the silent auction. We were happy to be able to contribute to such a great cause. A super fun time was had by all!!

Happy trails, @raya and Avery
