Good morning,

Although we don’t have any show results to share with you this week, the 2017 show schedule has been posted. It’s hard to believe that the new year is only a few weeks away and the crew is heading south soon!  If you are curious to see what competitions are in store for the team, visit:  http://rollacresshowstables.com/show_schedule.html  And for now, stay warm out there!

Good afternoon!

How was your Turkey Day?  Here at Rolling Acres, a good Thanksgiving is when no horses get sick or hurt…and we had a good one!  All the horses behaved and we are thankful for that! We hope that you were able to enjoy Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

Last Wednesday, Goshen Hounds used Rolling Acres as the starting point for their hunt.  It was a picture-perfect day with moderate temperatures and no wind. It was neat getting to watch them leave from the farm and we were thankful to have them. Special thanks to Holly Bossert for letting us share these great photos!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! The barn will be closed Thursday so that our staff can enjoy the day with their families.  And we hope all of our boarders, their families and friends enjoy the holiday as well!

Good morning,

The crew is home from Pennsylvania National Horse Show.  Lots of to-and-from trips by the vans this past week, at all hours of the night and day.  And Mary found herself as the commentator for the Grand Prix on Saturday night! We got a picture of the screen when they put up her name.  How cool is that?  And she and Troy did a great job!

 
Also wishing congratulations to RASS boarder Amanda Brightman on her new marriage! She was wed this past Saturday at the Ceresville Mansion and we were told that despite the cold and wind, the ceremony was beautiful!

Today the crew leaves for the Washington International Horse Show so we won’t see them again for awhile.  Good luck to everyone headed to Washington! Stay tuned for those results next week.

And lastly, wishing Ashley Schoen a very Happy Birthday today!

Good morning!
