Evergreen Farm with trainer Jill Allard, had a very successful trip to Region I Championships. Not only did we have a great time, with lots of laughs, but we brought home ribbons, prizes, and lots of pride.

With a theme of Halloween, we enjoyed a wonderful clinic with Jeremy Stienberg. He not only worked with each individual horse's needs, but sent home great exercises for the young riders to work on. The auditors appreciated him as well. Armed with his easy to understand methods and ability to answer questions clearly, we will all be working with our horses for months to come on the exercises learned.

We held a comstume contest on Saturday night, and seven of the eight riders and horses participated. All of the contestants did a great job on their costumes. All of at Evergreen Farm enjoyed hosting this clinic. We met losts of amazing horse-crazy people like ourselves. A large thank you, goes out to Liz Carlin for opening up your farm for this delightful event.
