It was a busy fall! Team SSB was out competing most weekends, and it seems like every horse is the barn was out working hard. If you were keeping track of the weekend results on Facebook, make sure you read the more complete Competition Update below for details on everyone’s rides. Charlotte Harris’ “herd” was all out competing: Bedazzled (“Boomer”) was cleaning-up at Preliminary, Lunetta (“Luna”) made a successful move from Novice to Training, and Catapult (“Crunchie”) is ready to do the same. The Hoffman’s Gamblers Choice (“Woody”) was back at it following his big spring – we’re very happy to have him back in the string of competition horses, and our working student Brynn Hammel started competing Parisa Salehi’s Showman (“Court”). In addition to those, our sale horses Luke, Hound Hall’s Top Shelf (“Scooby”), Lara Anderson’s Full Gallop Casino (“Casino”), and Peter Foley’s Loreto were also out and about.A big, “WELL DONE!” to everyone who competed this season.  It was great to have so many horses out competing, so many staff out every weekend, and to see all of the students putting in strong efforts at all of the events.

Back to our sale horses, we currently have some very talented horses offered for sale so, if you are in the market for your next competition horse make sure you take a look at the “Sale Horses” album on Facebook.

And don’t forget about the Triple Crown Trivia and all the cool prizes!  To partake, simply e-mail [email protected] to subscribe to the e-newsletters.

We’re already turning our eyes to the 2014 and will once again be based at Full Gallop Farm in Aiken, South Carolina for the winter season.  We have great training options for people that want to come down for some fun.  Whether you want to come for a weekend, week, or month … we can help create a program that works for you.  Just e-mail me at [email protected] for more info!

But before heading south, I’m looking forward to spending the holiday season with family and friends.  I hope that everyone is able to take some time to relax over the holidays.  See you in 2014!

~Stephen~
