For more information or to schedule lessons contact: Kristin Bachman at

I have a 17" western saddle for sale. It's very used and I am in no longer need
of it. I imagine that whoever buys this saddle would use it for trails, or arena
work. It would not be good for shows because of how used it is. I'm selling it
for $70 but it is negotiable. Feel free to contact me at (703)794-9732 or my
e-mail address is orionsstarz@.... Thank you and have a great day!

I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone need any tree removal or yard
work done.  My husband can come by and give you a free estimate for just about
anything that needs to be done. If you have difficult trees to come down he can
have climbers come in and assist.  He can also grind stumps, top trees, spray
and fertilize, landscape, weed and mulch.  He also can deliver mulch and
firewood.

Please give him a call to discuss any services you might need.

Thanks

Anyone ever going to post the May Western Show results.  It's already the end of
June!!  We always had ours posted NLT a week after each show...

Missy

I hope you all saw Martha's email about the Park.  Dianna is right, it
does look like a private residence....there are no signs indicating it
is the Heritage Park and the entrance to the field looks like you are
pulling in between someone's house and an old barn.

But the big white house (now empty) is part of the Park and is going
to be renovated and turned into a Mounted Police Academy (or something
like that).

The entrance to the area where we will be showing is 3/4 of a mile
down Bristow Road from the turn off Hwy 28.  The park entrance is
immediately in front of the RRCrossing sign.  If you get to the RR
tracks, you've gone too far....but if you look over your right
shoulder, you'll see the field!

If it doesn't rain (fingers crossed!) and the show goes on, you'll see
the NHS trailer and the NHS volunteers.

Hope to see everyone there!

Bobbi

10708 Bristow Road is not the Heritage Park.  It is a private

residence.  I drove over there this morning, looking for the

show grounds.

Hi Folks,

 

Once again, we have some great events coming up.

 

Pleasure Driving Schooling Show  Saturday, June 20

This Saturday, June 20, is the 1st show of the season for our Pleasure Driving Schooling Show Series.  And, we are very excited to announce a new location for the Driving series.  The Pleasure Driving Schooling Show Series will be held at the Bristoe Station Battlefield Heritage Park.  We are delighted to announce this change in venue because through the cooperation of the Bristoe Station Historic Preservation Society we now have another park in Prince William County open to equestrian activities.  This new park will feature a grass field extremely suitable for pleasure driving activities.  Our Show Manager, Martha Duchnowski, along with our Trails Director, Cleve Benton, and Operations Director, Bobbi McIntyre have been working with the Park to get the location ready for our show series.

 

Our Pleasure Driving Schooling show is perfect for the complete novice to the experienced driver.  For those who have never driven before, but would like to learn more about the sport, the show will feature a mini-clinic just prior to the pleasure driving classes.  For those who would like to take it to the next level, but dont have a driving horse or rig, contact our Show Manager, Martha Duchnowski at mmduchnowski@... or 703-753-3291.  Martha has a team of champion miniature driving horses that are available for those that want to try driving for the first time.  However, you must contact Martha in advance to make arrangements.  Still want to find out more about Pleasure Driving, but dont want to get in the cart yet?  Well, we always need volunteers.  No experience is necessary.  We always need folks to simply help set up and tear down after the show and help all around during the clinic and show.  And of course, volunteers get to observe the clinic and show at no charge.  Experienced drivers can also enjoy our Schooling shows.  As with all of our Schooling shows, they are great for the experienced show person to hone their skills in a low key, low pressure environment or to get some work with your novice horse.  And with the addition of the mini-clinic you get some great instruction as well.

Western Schooling Show  Saturday, June 27

Our next show in the Western Schooling Show Series is Saturday, June 27 at James Long Park in Haymarket.  We are about mid-way through our Western Schooling Show series, but it is still not too late to work towards year end awards.  You only need to participate in 3 of the 6 shows to qualify for year end.  The June 27 show will be the third in the series of six shows.  Even if you are not working towards year end awards, the NHS Schooling Shows are great opportunities to work your horse in a low key, low pressure show setting.  Again, volunteers get a great opportunity to find out more about showing, while earning points towards our NHS Wrangler Volunteer Appreciation awards.
