SEFA Trail Challenge 2013

The Shelby Farms Equestrian Alliance Trail Challenge was a blast this year!  Despite scheduling conflicts for many of our riders, we still sent a small contingent of riders and volunteers.  Everyone had a great time and the horses behaved beautifully.  It was great to see old friends and make some new ones.  See all of the pictures and share yours on our Facebook page. Hopefully we’ll see everyone there again next year!

Scavenger Hunt

The Scavenger Hunt on Saturday at Tranquility Trails in Ashland, MS was a lot of fun!  The weather was perfect and the trails were great; we rode for several hours and definitely earned our dinner that day!

Birthdays and Your Human

Here’s another funny article from The Chronicle of the Horse written from the perspective of a horse regarding how horses feel about celebrating human’s birthdays: Birthdays and Your Human.  Having just had my own birthday and (naturally) having gone to the barn to celebrate, this sounds about accurate!

Here’s an excerpt: “But that’s how training goes: we have to constantly give our Humans behavior guidance and examples they can learn from, and hope that one day they will surprise us with a moment of clarity.”
