2012 Archive
12/30/12: Can you believe that 2012 is almost over?! What a fabulous year it was. WRF recently received some exciting news - we are going to be in Equine Affaire's Fantasia again! Paul and Lou and some of their driving horses are going to be in the opening ceremony and Rachael, Emily, and Nicole (with Kelley M. as an alternate) are going to be a part of the Ridden drill team! Practices start in January and we are super excited. Check out some videos from this past Equine Affaire: Thursday Demo and Clinics, Friday Demo, Drill Team in Fantasia. If you will be at the 2013 Equine Affaire, come check us out on the breed aisle!
12/2/12: I finally got the video from the Chagrin Valley Schooling show that we attended back in late November posted. You can check out a video of Lena at her first jumper show (with pro Emily piloting her around the courses). On November 17th we brought Santa Clause to town and participated in Wadsworth Christmas Parade. We also gave our annual Jingle Bell Jaunt Carriage Rides to raise money

10/28/12: We just got home from the fall sale and we bought a horse! Gabby RVM is Nicole's new project horse for the upcoming year. In addition, we had a fabulous show year, winning many HCC awards, which were given out at the Awards presentation on Friday. Further updates on that will be posted soon. In other news, it's been another rainy fall, but that hasn't stopped the Walnut Ridge Girls! Pictured below is Nicole on her new horse Gabby and Emily and Nicole riding Sammie and Arnie in the rain.
