A NOTE FROM SAMANTHA LESTER, THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER MANAGER

Springtime has finally arrived and we all have been waiting on warmer weather. All of the horses are doing well and have begun to shed their winter coats. Both pigs are doing well and are patiently waiting for the warm, sunny, days.

Throughout the winter, the equestrian center has remained open for lessons, trail rides and ring rides. Thank you to all of the members who have visited and brought treats. My barn staff and I have been busy spring cleaning and are getting ready for the upcoming riding season. Each spring, all of the horses get spring vaccinations and a wellness check that includes; a dental check up, vitals, a visual of their overall health (weight, hooves, etc.) The horses are seen twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring for a routine checkup.

Our horse camp dates have been set and are filling up quickly. I have listed all the information below. If anyone would like further details about the equestrian center or the services offered, please call the barn or email me at slester@watersedgecountryclub.com.

Services offered: ·Trail rides ·Ring rides ·Lessons ·Full stall and pasture board -Summer Horse Camps ·Birthday Parties and private barn parties

If you would like to schedule a ride, please call the barn a day in advance at 540-576-2714. The barn is open daily for rides from 9am to 3:30pm. Members and their guests are welcome to visit the barn during barn hours and bring treats for the horses and the pigs. The horses love carrots and apples and cheerios and popcorn are the pigs’ favorite.

Horse Facts:

Horse’s eyes have excellent visual acuity (focus) for distant objects.

However, it is difficult for horses to focus on objects less than a meter away.

Horses have bigger eyes than any other mammal that lives on land.

Horses are capable off running shortly after birth.
