At Harrogate Hills we believe that the kindest treatment of the horse is gained through a well educated rider.

Important events on this day in history
On this day in 1980 the Polish communist government agreed to the demands of the striking workers in the Gdansk shipyard. Workers would have the right to organize freely and independently.

As anniversaries go, I think that one is more important than Diana.....

So the 'riddle' on the window in the lounge has been solved.
Our next Horse Show on Sunday, June 24 will have DOUBLE POINTS!
This should really open up the standings for the season.
We'll find out who wins each division on the last Saturday of June.
(Be honest. You were starting to wonder about those notes weren't you?)

Promises, promises
Just so it is a matter of public record, Becca PROMISED on Monday May 21st that she will never look down again.
If this makes no sense to you as you read this, take it up with Rebecca.
Cheers!

Update for Lily
Thanks for asking about Lily, Alyssa.
Sam rode her on Saturday and the horse seemed to do very well.
I am not sure if all of you knew but Lily had a real problem with her left front foot.
When we got her she had a pretty nasty crack in that hoof but she ended up splitting it right up to her coronet band and then got an infection in her foot.
The blacksmith did a major repair job on her foot by drilling into the hoof wall, wiring it closed and covering the opening with fiberglass. She was pretty sore for a while but has improved steadily over the last 6-7 weeks.
As I said above, she was ridden on Saturday and she looked great.
Hopefully she will be back in the school soon.

Skeeter
A hard decision today but we had to put Skeeter, (the best barn cat in the world) to sleep today.
As close to a dog as you can get in a cat and I mean that as a great compliment.
We are lucky to have such a good friend as Michelle who looked after my dear cat including the sad end.
It was very peaceful and gentle and G-d bless Michelle for having the skill and empathy to end his time with us in such a kind way.
I like to believe that he is a better place now.
Thanks for the memories Skeeter. I hope you will get fat and shiny once again.

Lily
Well, Lily has arrived. She is a little bit asymmetrical because she lost the tip of her left ear from frost bite. Hopefully she will never be in that situation again!
She seems very friendly and I look forward to seeing what she is like under saddle.
Stay tuned!
