 Dear CLS Family and Friends,
I just tried to walk through the barn, and I couldn't. The aisle was plum full of dirty barn babies. All shapes. All sizes. All grabbing at me with grubby little paws, telling me about their day, and CC's muddy legs, and their new African dwarf frog.
I'm finally at my table now, typing to the rhythm of raindrops on the barn's tin roof. Bun Bun is attacking the door of her bunny penthouse demanding more M & Ms.
I love my life. Thank you for being part of this wonderfully nutty funny farm. What happens here constantly amazes me. If you don't believe it, wait till you see the CLS Electronic Scrapbook from 2011. Little Bits Mom Kim Stewart totally outdid herself. And judging from the scrapbook, so did the entire barn family. Please read and enjoy!
Oh, and let's do it again this year!
Parker

 Check out the 2011 Scrapbook - Thank you, Kim Stewart! The 2011 scrapbook is amazing and we have Kim Stewart to thank! Kim spent countless hours choosing photographs, writing copy and organizing this huge task and the result is absolutely incredible!!! Thank you, Kim. It's so much fun to look back and see how much we accomplished in 2011 -- makes us excited to see what we can do in 2012!!! |
Our Valentine's Fun Friday is a night where parents and kids both get to have a little fun. Parents, we want you to drop the kids off for a fun filled, instructional evening and go out on the town for an early Valentine's dinner. Riders, we want you to come have a blast and send a special Valentine to a grandparent or other special friend. Register now and let's get this date on the calendar!  |

Barn Surprises to Put in Your Valentines!

Give the Gift of Riding Lessons this year in your school Valentines!
Next week, your instructor will have Valentines for their students to give out to their friends. They're riding lesson vouchers! (A $40 value!)
Please note that these cards are for first time riders only -- and that we'd love to have your teacher ride too! And your grandmother, and your uncle, and maybe your neighbor too . . .
Happy Valentines from all of your friends at the barn!

 Our January Tournament was canceled due to expected rain. So mark your calendars for February 11. Latta Park, here we come! The sign up sheet will be posted in the barn! Join us for all the fun! If there are any riders who still need an aqua vest for the show, come visit us in the CLS Tack Shop. Thanks! |

 Thank you to the Becker Brothers, and thank you CLS families for a VERY successful consignment show
You should see the adorable combinations. We will have the prettiest -- and most handsome -- show riders in all the land!
Special thanks to Dale and Michael Becker for spending two days taking care of CLS riders. Let's just say the good brothers left with LOTS to do! Many families were surprised by the amount of money they received for their consignment clothes. It's fun to get cash back!
Show clothes are beautifully made, and if you take care of them -- like so many of our families do -- they will last a long time and can be passed down to next generation riders!
We still have consignment show clothing from which to choose. Also, please mark your calendars for March 2, 2012. Dale will be back at CLS for final fittings, and to take final pre-show season orders. |
