YLCR Horse Show~
This year’s annual Yorba Linda Country Riders show was loads of fun! We had several CRK riders compete this year. Maggie made the trip for the first time and was she a trouper! She was a bit excited in the morning, but quickly settled and was a winning mount for both Suze Carragher and Kate Clifton. Suze & Maggie competed in 3 events taking home 2 firsts and a 3rd. This was good enough to give them the Overall Highpoint for their division! Kate then took up Maggie’s reins for the Leadline class and was also awarded first place!
Our very own instructor, Athena Fosnight, took her baby boy, Cruiser, and competed in the English division. They took home several first and second place ribbons. Their placings were good enough to earn them the Reserve Champion award for the day.
Excellent job everyone! Thanks for making CRK look so good!

Hot Weather Reminders~
As we get further into summer, the days will be getting much warmer. Some days will be downright HOT! Lessons will run as usual on hot days, so be prepared. Bring some water and wear a hat while grooming. If you want to reschedule your normal lesson time for a cooler part of the day, please do it well ahead of time. Lessons won’t be rescheduled on the day of the lesson because it is hot. If it’s too hot to ride, we may substitute or you may choose an un-mounted lesson. A favorite on hot days is horse bathing. Just make sure you wear clothes that can get wet!
If your CRK Stable school horse gets sweaty during your lesson, you must either hose or sponge them off. Tack should also be wiped down with a damp towel to remove sweat that can damage the leather. If you don’t know how to do these tasks, please ask. We will make sure it’s included in your next lesson.
Please remember correct riding attire, including a sleeved shirt. If you are not wearing proper attire, you will not be allowed to ride. Closed shoes are also required in the barn areas. This rule applies to everyone, parents included! If you forgot to change out of your flip-flops, please remain in the spectator areas. Thank You!
August Make-up Lessons~
August group make-up lessons will be held on Sunday, August 30, 2014. If you miss a group lesson in August, please contact the office to schedule your make up lesson. You must sign up to ride.
