Whats New! 

Hi All!
Hope everyone is doing well and this past month has not been too harsh! The 1st in the winter series of shows begins January 24th. We will again hold the halter/showmanship/plsr classes on Saturday with advanced showmanship, trail and equitation classes with patterns.

Poormans Schooling Shows

NEW FOR SATURDAY Novice Horse Classes! These are for TRUE BEGINNING horses! Novice Horse = Not to have won 3 - 1st’s at the beginning of the series in that class The horse can show the Novice Classes for the entire series even if they start winning during the series. BUT they cannot show the novice class(es) in all following series if they have won 3 blue ribbons in that class. Hopefully that makes sense!

ALL NEW FOR SUNDAY!
• Later start time! We’ll begin at 9am!
• The Equitation classes will all have patterns. BUT these classes can now be ridden EITHER English or Western. The choice is yours.
• Western Riding Classes added!
• Reining Class added!

Sponsor Spotlight     Carolyn Rice Quarter Horses

Carolyn Rice Quarter Horses is an all around program. She has had World & Congress Champions as well as many top ten youth and amateur riders in Western Riding, Trail, Showmanship, Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat Equitation, Hunter Under Saddle and Hunter Hack. Carolyn is, herself, a World Champion in Junior Trail.

Carolyn Rice Quarter Horses training program is dedicated to helping you reach your greatest potential with your horse. Carolyn's philosophy is to work towards the highest ideal in the industry; therefore, the program is tailored to meet the individual needs of both horse and rider. She works toward discovering a horse's strengths and enhancing them, during which time she also helps the rider to improve his/her, own skills.

While training your horse, Carolyn realizes the owner must become an educated equestrian. This is accomplished by having the rider participate in a very intense yet fun lesson program. The rider will learn the skills that are required for communicating effectively with their horse, while enhancing their overall intuitiveness.

Carolyn's personal goal is for you and your horse to become the finest team possible, always reaching for a higher level, while reflecting on your personal achievements and progress.   For more information on our program and clinics, visit the web site at www.CRQH.com.

“My hope is for you to always enjoy the journey”.
- Carolyn Rice
