Progress on the Pony Track and Dressage arena/Play Area

The fence with a gate wide enough for Pony Carts and Sleds has been finished.

The Dressage Arena/Play Area has Clover artificial Grass installed. This product is recommended for yards with children and dogs. It is dense, soft, and woven on a matt that breathes and the grass doesn’t become hot.

We need more crushed red granite rock, which has been ordered and will arrive February 1st.

Therefore, we will not be carting during the January Play Date BUT we have a huge arena to practice and play on.

For the February Play Date, we will have the track done.

For the Romp and Trot event, we will have Canopies to hang out under to get out of the sun. We will have a picnic table. We will have a bbq. Huzzah!

We are on the second floor. There isn’t any elevator, only stairs. It is air conditioned. A private space. There is room to rein 23 feet x 12 feet plus a queen size memory pad and our playmats for critters on the floor.

Please be vaccinated or tested negative for Covid-19 within 72 hours of the Play Date.

The Fall Fox Hunt

It is amazing at the Rose Valley Campground.    Around you the air is crisp at 4000 ft in the mountains.  It is dry, there is a stream coming off the mountain.  The stars at night are incredible to view.  Our club reserves as many campsites as possible so that the experience is peaceful and quiet at night.

The campsites are drive into and park.  No water, no facilities other than a vault toilet.  You bring everything. 

It was a small group this year.  Yet, we were eager to play.  It was very fun.  Fancy Fox was tracked down by Ollie in short order. She is such a wonderful fox! The feast was delicious.  

For me , to do our play, have a great time doing it, this is the point, this is what we gather for.  The joy, the bonding experience, the social exchanges over a fabulous meal, The Toasting!!! It was glorious!  My heart is very happy.

Reminder of Activities!

We are having a Social!  This is an opportunity to chat, hang out together in an open air courtyard, meet new folks, vet folks for our Play Date and/or Fox Hunt!
