New Years' Eve Sleepover at the Barn!

 

We haven’t had this event in 2 years and we are so excited to bring it back and bring in 2020 with a bang!

We ENCOURAGE you to spread the word and get a friend to sign up as well. (Incentive for this described below)

Details- 

-Open to all LF riders and their friends/siblings. Open to any age that will be prepared to have a ton of fun and sleepover.

-Riders are dropped off at 5 pm on New Year’s Eve and are picked up at 9 am on New Years Day.

-We provide dinner and breakfast. Riders will sleep in Kathryn’s house. We have many beds but attendees may need to bring an air mattress, pillow and sleeping bag.

-Attendees will have a riding lesson, games around the farm, and craft

-Riders will be on horseback to ring in the New Year and have an apple cider toast at midnight (while wearing a lot of glow in the dark stuff!)

Must RSVP to have a spot for this amazing event. The cost is $150 per person. **** If a current LF rider brings a friend (that doesn’t ride at LF) then you BOTH get $30 off!

Riding in the Cold

 

It is going to be cold. Your rider must come prepared. You will not be able to make up a lesson because your rider was too cold to finish their lesson... SO BE PREPARED!

-Winter riding gloves (or gloves that are winterized with grips on them). ****Regular riding gloves will not be enough for most people. They will not be able to ride for more than a handful of minutes. For your rider to complete their lesson, they will need appropriate gloves.

-Neckwarmer

-Coveralls/snow pants or multiple layers of pants (tights or long underwear on under riding pants) or winterized riding pants

-Wool socks.

-Hand warmers or boot warmers (you buy in the hunting or camping sections)

-A coat with many layers underneath such as a vest/sweatshirt/long underwear.

-Ear warmers or toboggan (hat) that fits under your helmet.

-Winterized paddock boots that are insulated.

-Winterized riding pants that are insulated.

Holiday Gifts for your Rider-

 

Saddle- new or used. DO NOT try to buy this without Kathryn’s guidance. You do not want to buy the wrong saddle or one that will not fit your rider. New saddles are $3200. Used saddles range from $550-$2600. Prices depend on the technology within the saddle, brand/quality of the saddle, age of saddle, if the saddle has adjustable bars, and if the saddle if damaged.
