Embroidered stuff anyone?

Looks like there are some people wanting to get some Kinswood polos, sweatshirts, caps, windbreakers... whatever else can be done embroidered with the logo. Kim is getting together an order - hopefully have enough to get started and have them finished for the show at the end of May. If you have something in mind you've wanted to get done... contact Kim. Email at Kim.Henke@parsons.com or call at 210/325-3009.

Rain again

After a couple weeks of fine weather - we are socked in with rain again.
Horses are staying in today and no lessons happening.
Farrier did come out to shoe those on the list, brave guy.

April Liberty Hill

Liberty Hill was a huge success for all of Kinswood riders. Seems like they have been ready for this show forever, as the last few have been cancelled due to rain. This one was close... drizzle and yucky weather in the morning, but the ground held up just fine and by the afternoon it had stopped.
On with the show!Kate and Nate did some fine tests, the first level tests went really well and she came home with first and second place ribbons with good scores.
Danielle rode Ty the best ever and earned good scores with good ribbons. This pair showed great improvement since the last show, all that work has paid off.

SaraBeth rode Buddy the best ever - with some real concentration on keeping Buddy on the bit, she won terrific scores (68%!) and first and second place ribbons.


Sarah rode Archie to first place too! She had some problems to work Archie thru in later tests as the neighbor mules were blowing and cavorting around and she had to keep Archie focused. No easy deal to do! But she did it to good results.
The Kinswood gang were just RIGHT ON all day!

More Silver Hills

SaraBeth on the cross country course with Buddy - they are flyin'. Having fun. Sarah and Archie concentrating mightly on the stadium course. Archie's jumping so careful.




Kate + Nate clearing the half round beautifully.

Yipee!! Ribbons for all.


And - forgot to mention earlier... Amy brought over Hollywood to join us when we schooled Sunday. He is very green, so this was just a quiet "see the world" outing for Hollywood. He proved himself to be a very pleasant fellow. And as always, fun to have Amy around.
Also, the 'old timers' will remember Melissa - she didn't bring Clyde, but did show up to visit with every one too.
We DID have a good time at Silver Hills.
