And they’re off! The Rolling Acres crew heads to Florida

Hello everyone,

The Rolling Acres crew is now safely in Florida to begin the winter show season down there. It took 23 horses in three tractor trailers, plus all the trunks, a 5-horse trailer full of hay, a camper – complete with a tire blowout, the equipment trailer,  4 support vehicles, 10 drivers and two days to get everything down to Pensacola. We are so happy they have arrived safely and can’t wait for the results to start coming in!

We also need to fix a few boo-boos from last week’s list of new people and horses.  We misspelled a name – sorry Shahid!  And also, Robin Feldman’s new horse is named Fannie so we welcome her! Julie Bigham purchased a new horse and brought him to Rolling Acres Farm.  He’s a cutie and we are glad to have him, so welcome Jamie. 
Stay tuned for show results!! 

Welcoming new partnerships… stay tuned!

Good morning!

As the group heads to Florida later this week to begin their competition season down south, we wanted to take a minute to welcome some of the new partnerships for 2016:

Happy Thanksgiving from Rolling Acres!

Good morning,

No shows this week with the upcoming holiday so we wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

Also, just a reminder that the barn will be closed this Thursday for Thanksgiving.  As we spend a few moments before the dinner to give thanks, let’s remember how lucky we are to spend time with our horses and each other in this setting provided to us by Mother Nature.  Give thanks for the parents who bring us to the barn so we can ride, to the teachers who help us learn valuable skills, and to the caretakers who make sure our horses are happy and healthy.

No Shows This Weekend Or Next

Good Morning Everyone,

The group gets a little bit of a break from showing as there aren’t any shows this weekend or next so everyone can enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their families & friends.

Also, Rolling Acres had Goshen Hounds leave from the farm last Wednesday and it was beautiful to watch as they started from the farm! Our own Robin Feldman and Liz Lavine were part of the day as well. It sounds like they had a great time!

We will be back with weekly show results once our team heads south for the winter circuit!

We congratulate everyone on doing so well in 2015 and wish you continued good luck in 2016!
