Horse Factoid:
A horse has a wide range of vision. A horse can see completely around its entire body except for small blind spots directly in front of its face, underneath its head, and directly behind itself. This is why it's very important not to walk up right behind a horse - you are in its blind spot and if you startle it you may get kicked.

Greetings!
Summer's here and it's a wonderful time to ride. I hope if you are receiving this and haven't had a chance to come out and see what we have to offer, you'll take a little time for a drive through the countryside and come see us. Give me a call to set up a time for a tour of the barn and an overview of our program. I'd love to show you around.

Yes! We ride when it's hot- but riders can keep their cool by remembering a few important tips.
Dress appropriately. Remember to wear sunscreen.
Come hydrated and bring extra water.
Bring a spray bottle to mist yourself or your young rider.
A wet bandana tied loosely around the neck is nice.
Be alert to signs of heat exhaustion:
Heavy sweating
Paleness
Muscle cramps
Tiredness
Weakness
Dizziness
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Fainting

Much to be thankful for..............
We are blessed indeed. Even with a tight economy, people are good, generous, and faithful. We have seen so much evidence of this at the barn. Our volunteers are truly committed to helping our riders get the most out of their time at the barn. Our parents are supportive and continually work to help make the program a success. The community is generous with their contributions and labor.
Here are a few of the things we're thankful for lately:
The Golf Tournament was an absolute success thanks to our volunteers and participants. Extra special thanks to Kitty Nappen.
 Thank you to the Boy Scouts and Down to Earth Landscape Designs for creating a brick sidewalk for safe passage
We received an Agri- Supply gift card and were able to replace some fence posts that were broken.
 Dave and Audrey Onan, Corrie Walters, Linda Windley and Jordan replanted the butterfly garden with plants donated by Pender Nursery.
We are blessed with 3 new riders and several new volunteers- welcome to Reins from Above!
Carolyn Hall donated gravel for the driveway-- No More Mud!!!!
Chairs in the shelter were donated by the Lucas family.
 The flag pole was donated by Linda Braund in memory of her husband Denny. The flag was donated by Linda's family and the United States Army in memory of her.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to all those who help feed the horses when Stacey can't make it: The Parrish family, Linda Windley, Corrie Walters, Audrey Onan, Camille Brown. Bob Daubenspeck, the Knapp family
