September 27-29, 2024
welcome
This will be the third year in a row that Stable View has closed Oktoberfest with 400 entries.
Each year we try to make improvements to Stable View and 2024 will be no different.
As you walk Cross Country, you'll notice what we've come to call - squidgyness - a sort of soft and fluffy feeling under foot It's caused by regular but closely controlled use of the Aerator plus regular applications of water via the Big Guns We experimented with this approach for the US Advanced course for the Olympics - they wanted a very safe prep course for the Send Off.
We've kept going with this during the summer - with little rain, we've been moving the Big Guns around on a daily basis - but the really interesting work has been with the footing
We've extended our Aeration work from the June Advanced course to both of the courses. It takes around four days to get around at 3MPH. It'll be interesting to hear what you think.
The second significant improvement will be seen in our VIP offering on Saturday
Stable View's two Chefs have taken responsibility for the food. This has normally been outsourced.
Again, it will be interesting to hear what you think
Improvements for next year will include six or seven gazebos on the two mounds on the side of the New Arena - they are planned for VIP's and Sponsors
We're looking forward to seeing you. Please provide us with feedback
With best wishes
The Stable View Team

FREE TO BEE
Having started in early spring with five nucleus colonies (also known as "nucs") from a local bee supplier, Stable View's bees have grown to eleven, almost twelve, hives with healthy queens Over the summer, we have supported the bees' efforts to build up and prepare for winter. Our goal is to contribute to healthy pollinators in our area, and share the sweet fruits of their labor!
A BIRDER'S PARADISE
This time last year, Stable View had one resident Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Today, we have sixteen! Additionally, by increasing our number of nest boxes we have helped many of our feathered friends thrive: this year, we have fledged 550+ Eastern Bluebirds; a pair of Eastern Screech Owls fledged two young; and the American Kestrels fledged all five nestlings from the same nest box as in previous years.
HISTORICALLY, "A GATHERING PLACE"
Set out afoot–or ahoof–on our 15 miles of marked trails, each named in honor of local Native American tribes, where you may see evidence of our prescribed fires, which increase plant diversity, perpetuate endangered species, allow wildlife easier access to food sources, restore nutrients back into the soil, and reduce the risk of wildfires
According to our expert, Mark Pavlosky of MPJ Wildlife, we expect to observe many migrant species working their way South early this fall.
We look forward to hosting bird watchers who wish to view native, rare, or endangered species on their lists!
