Dear CLS friends,
This old barn is brimming with energy as we prepare to make the most of 2011! Hang on to your hat, gang. We've set big goals!
A Big Announcement: New Partnership for CLS in Greensboro!
The big news of 2011 is Cash Lovell Stables' partnership with Lisa Kim, who owns a beautiful farm in Summerfield, NC - the new home to our second riding academy! As CLS family members know, in the past year, we've been fortunate to lease space from Jim and Sam Burnette at Leyland Riding and Driving Center in Oak Ridge for our second riding academy. Starting in the Spring of 2011, we will move this operation to our new permanent barn home in Summerfield, NC, two miles from Leyland, on Highway 150. Click here to see an article in The Northwest Observer for more details. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Jim and Sam for giving us such a tremendous start in the Oak/Ridge Summerfield area! More details coming soon ...
New! FIT
