Vermont Summer Festival Ends & Rolling Acres Riders Head Home

Vermont Summer Festival is finished for 2013 and everyone did a great job!  The caravan is currently on the way home today and will pull in the farm lane later this evening. We all know how Patty likes to bring home more than she left with whenever she leaves the farm.  This year, she didn’t do too badly with only 1 extra!  Good job Patty! Also, congratulations to Kimberly Saul & Delphine, owned by Alyson Gurney, as Adult Amateur Hunter 18-35 Circuit Champion and Suzanne Smith & Ultra Violet as Adult Amateur Hunter 46 & Over as Circuit Champion! Way to go ladies!

The outside ring renovation is going very well, if Mother Nature would just help us out!  The new drainage tiles are in and the sand has been delivered.  Now, we just need it to dry out enough to spread the sand.  Once that is in, the new all-weather footing will be added and it will be done! So let’s hope for some dry weather this week.

Once all the horses are home and safely tucked into their stalls with fresh hay and water, we will update you with all the most recent results. Welcome Home Everyone!!!
