Getting ready for an Inspection

WE are in the process of getting ready for the upcoming KNN inspection. We have horses coming in from all over the place, some from as far away as Ohio and Texas.

All the young horses have to come up from the fields and get prepped, bathed, groomed, manes shortened, reminded how to lead in hand etc.  Mares and foals too!

I’m out there marking out the galloping/trotting course for the ridden tests for the stallion and the mare who are both doing a ridden test.

We are practicing the young stallions down the jump chute. Plus they have to be shown in-hand  at walk and trot.

Plus all the ridden horses have to be ridden and schooled.

April Reedy is marrying Brenden Schultz on Saturday Sept 19th and then leaves for her honeymoon on the Sunday for a week. So all of next week we have no April. Arrgh!

But it’s going to be fun. I hope we’ll get a lot of visitors and spectators to watch the grading.  But boy this is going to be a lot of work.

Remember Oct 11th Sunday come on out to Cedar Creek and watch the grading.
