Last weekend was the last of our regular Mounted Combat program classes at Red Colt for 2015; the regular series will be starting up again in February. However, don't despair! We are still doing private lessons for those who want to keep their riding legs in shape over the next two months.

Stephanie Laversin will be coming out on alternating Monday evenings and Saturday afternoons to do private and semi-private lessons, and I have some times available on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. For pricing or to book a lesson, contact us directly:

Congratulations!

Sunday was also assessment day at the barn. Congratulations to Ariadna Popna and Alicia Copak who tested their Horsemanship Level 1, and to Michael Pearson who passed his Horsemanship Level 2, his Riding Level 2, and his Mounted Combat Skills assessment. Michael will receive his Green Spur at the Rank Exam this Friday. Well done!
