Turk’s Southwind Stables

Sorry one and all if you follow this blog, we’ve been busy with horseshows, lessons, training etc. I must say, my “bunch” are sure diehards! We went to the Fingerlakes Equestrians Show yesterday in Tburg and it rained all day and poured alot of the day! However, everyone, and I mean everyone, remained positive, had fun and did well. Chance Vancleef Jr, and his horse Junior were reserve champion for the game classes and also finished first in showmanship, his VERY FIRST time out!!!! Aden VanCleef also did really well, winning the walk/trot polebending with his horse Simi, who has obviously done this before!!! Jenna and Jada Gooch again had another great show with Cruiser and Harley. I believe Jada and Harley will show at the lope for the next show! Macy Covert and Lilly did well in Leadline again, they are moving up to walk/trot soon. And Jenna McDonald used Sandy for all her classes all day and they were awesome. And finally, Kiersten Hendrix used her aunt Gail’s horse, JR ( a 3 year old, at his first show!)for all the pleasure and game classes in the older walk/trot division, and won the pleasure and equitation classes! (JR was trained here this spring). I think Aunt Gail has some confidence in this nice gelding now!!!!

Jaimee is still doing the hunter shows with both Buster and Sandy, as well as taking Sandy to the NYS Haflinger Association fun show in June. She did well, and they attempted all the game classes as well, earning a couple blue ribbons. We also both did the wheelbarrow race, and couldn’t compete with big guys with little kids in the wheelbarrow!!! But we had a great time!!!!

Summer is starting and camp will be here before you know it. The week of July 20th, from 9-3 daily we will have lots of riding, crafts, learning about horses and just basic fresh air fun! Come join us! Ages 7 and up!!!
