October 2011

We want to say a big congratulations to the riders that competed at Medal Finals and to Camryn and her pony Captain Jack for winning the Pony Medal Final and Pony Championship and to coach Cheryl Kazemir for winning Top Pony Coach of the Year. You have a pony? You know where to come now. Captain Jack is staying at Killerney and is presently being leased and ridden by Elizabeth. Camryn is moving on to a larger pony for the next season.

Well the weather is amazing and we are still riding outside at Killerney Farms. The footing is great and we are so lucky not to be stuck inside already. All lessons are running outside still except the 7 pm Jumping on Tuesday and Thursdays. And why not – look at the beautiful shots we had from one glorious day.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Many of our riders took advantage of the weather and went for a group ride on Thanksgiving Monday.

The following weekend we had our last show of the year. Thanks to those of you who came – we had lots of fun and a beautiful day. We were so thrilled that some of you even took the opportunity to compete in the 2'3" jumper classes. After all the discussion about holding a 2' jumper class and setting the course for it we had no entries for it. Even those riders who have never competed in jumpers rode in the 2'3 division.

Keep checking the site for 2012 dates – we will do a Winter Series again.

We want to say a great big thank you to everyone who competed this year at Killerney Farms and for supporting our shows and also to our sponsors – not possible without you.

Also, check out the Edmonton Journal the next few Saturdays leading up to the CFR and see if you recognise someone in western wear.

September 2011

September long weekend seen many boarders coming out and going for a trail ride on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We are so lucky to have access to many trails and lots of quiet roads to ride on. We also want to congratulate Cheryl Kazemir on the purchase of her new mount "Cupid". Killerney Farms is still accepting boarders both inside and out for the winter season but there are limited stalls available for inside. We want to welcome Janessa and Madison to our program who will be leasing horses at Killerney Farms. Also welcoming home Jim Keefe and his new horse Ramardan. There are still a couple of time availabilities for flat/dressage lessons with Erika for the winter.
