Happy New Year from Rolling Acres!

Good morning,

This week finds everyone in the barn getting ready to leave for Florida!  Yes, it’s that time again. Trucks are getting their tires inspected, trailers hooked up, and fuel tanks filled to hit the road next week. Tack trunks are getting packed, everybody is getting shod, and supplies are getting sorted to leave for Florida.

This weekend is the  Swan Lake Holiday Show for those not heading south.  We wish everyone good luck (and warm weather)!

Also we want to wish everyone at Rolling Acres a very Happy New Year! Thank you for another wonderful year. We are looking forward to everything 2017 will bring!

No Show Results This Week

Good afternoon!

How was your Turkey Day?  Here at Rolling Acres, a good Thanksgiving is when no horses get sick or hurt…and we had a good one!  All the horses behaved and we are thankful for that! We hope that you were able to enjoy Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

Last Wednesday, Goshen Hounds used Rolling Acres as the starting point for their hunt.  It was a picture-perfect day with moderate temperatures and no wind. It was neat getting to watch them leave from the farm and we were thankful to have them. Special thanks to Holly Bossert for letting us share these great photos!

The crew heads south very shortly, so be sure to stay tuned for those results once they happen! 

Happy Thanksgiving From Rolling Acres!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! The barn will be closed Thursday so that our staff can enjoy the day with their families.  And we hope all of our boarders, their families and friends enjoy the holiday as well!

PS- In case you missed it, here is a photo that Pam took this past weekend as the sun was coming up. It was very cold and windy but the stillness and beauty of this photo made us want to share!

All the Latest from Rolling Acres!

Good morning,

The crew is home from Pennsylvania National Horse Show.  Lots of to-and-from trips by the vans this past week, at all hours of the night and day.  And Mary found herself as the commentator for the Grand Prix on Saturday night! We got a picture of the screen when they put up her name.  How cool is that?  And she and Troy did a great job!

 
Also wishing congratulations to RASS boarder Amanda Brightman on her new marriage! She was wed this past Saturday at the Ceresville Mansion and we were told that despite the cold and wind, the ceremony was beautiful!

Today the crew leaves for the Washington International Horse Show so we won’t see them again for awhile.  Good luck to everyone headed to Washington! Stay tuned for those results next week.

And lastly, wishing Ashley Schoen a very Happy Birthday today!

No Show Results...Congrats to Ashley!

Good morning,

We don't have any results this week but this past weekend was full of college events.  Patty's daughter, Ashley Foster, received her rings for the NCEA and SEC Championships won by Auburn’s Equestrian Team.  And Patty and Kevin were there for it!  Patty got a picture of Ashley on the huge outdoor screen. That’s the tallest Ashley’s ever been! The funny thing is Pam's daughter, Kristina, also graduated from Auburn and was down for the game as well. How cool!

And we might rename this blog to “Ashley’s Blog” this week.  She was also on the poster for the Auburn meet this past week.  For those who don’t have Facebook, here’s the banner they used, and they won the meet!
 

The troop heads off to the Culpeper Finals this week, then Indoor Finals start!  We wish everyone good luck! Stay tuned for those results next week!
