Ok...new look

Ok everyone, I'm you're noticig the new look. There is now extra stuff. No hotel info, no maps, no links. Not a thing on here. To be totally honest our show season so far is the majority of what we do. Our next show will be the Spooktacular in Cedar Rapids at the Iowa Equestian Center. When I get the dates checked I will post them and then find a link to post the class list and everything you need for the show. Just keep in mind, that show isn't til early November. Things will be a little slow here for a while, but we'll pick them back up around September/October and start talking about the show and getting the final preparations done.

Hope to see you all in a few months! Enjoy your break from our shows and if you go to any other shows and get ideas how to make our shows better, let us know. We love hearing suggestions!!!

It's so close I can smell it...

This weekend is getting closer and closer...and it will be FUN!!!!!!!! Erin R has an incredible weekend planned for us all. We will be having classes on Saturday night and on Sunday...you don't need to show both days, you can pick one or the other or stay for the weekend. It's up to you. All horses must have a stall per the fairgrounds requirements.

Click the link above to go to Erin's website and see the final showbill. If you need any help with anything feel free to email me. Need a place to stay? We got hotels. Need bedding delivered before you arrive? We got it covered. Just let us know what you need and we'll take care of it.

See you all this weekend! Reminder to everyone: GET PICTURES AND SEND THEM TO ME TO POST!!!! I know I haven't gotten the Waterloo ones up yet...sorry...internet has been kind rough. They will be up soon!

6 DAYS!!!

Only 6 Days til the Iowa Falls Show everyone! If you had fun at Waterloo, just wait til this show! We are running a few classes Saturday night and having the rest of the show on Sunday. You can come for one day or both, but regardless, the fairgrounds requires you to have a stall. Unfortunately there are no jump-outs allowed.

Erin emailed me last week and told me she already has 25 stalls booked! Make sure you let her know where you want to be in the barn or who you want to be stalled next to and she can make it happen!

Technology in general...

Technology (well...internet in this case) is HORRIBLE...except for that rare occasion that it works. Thats what I've decided over this last week. I've done most of my facebooking and whatnot over my phone that has internet, but it just doesn't have enough memory to post anything here...sad right? My only consistent internet source can't post on the blog...

So anyway, I've been fighting technology for the last week and it made me think. We are so incredibly lucky aren't we? Look at all this cool stuff we have. We can actually take pictures. We can capture memories. I'm talking just even doing it at all, let alone taking pictures and video on a phone! Speaking of pictures, I'll post them whent he CD gets here...it should be here soon as far as I know. Anyway, we have so many cool things...like computers that let us modify our pictures to make them clearer and save them in different ways to use them different ways. Is this technology awesome! I mean, in the Spring 2009 semester, all of my classes were online. 15 years ago I you heard this, you would laugh and make jokes about it. Now it is reality. WHAT'S NEXT?!?!?!? There is a YouTube video I'm going to post that everyone should watch in their lifetime. It takes my generation down a notch, but it is worth it. This guy is a comedian who was on Conan about a year and a half ago. ENJOY!

Everything is awesome, and nobody is happy...
