5/30/03 Show tomorrow

Our first show is tomorrow. If you didn't call for your times you can check with the online show schedule/results page. Good luck for those that are competing!

5/10/03 Shows

Our first show of the season is rapidly approaching -- if you didn't get your entry form in yet send it in ASAP. To remind people shows are on the following dates:

bullet5/31/03
bullet7/9/03
bullet9/6/03

Click on the show tab for more information. Showing is quite different than practicing in your local ring, nerves can kick in, your horse will sense your nervousness, you have to take all your gear on the road and polish it up and you can get some cool ribbons and prizes -- its all a lot of fun and a different kind of challenge. Don't miss out on this important part of our sport. And don't worry, we try to keep our shows low stress while having lots of fun and success.

We're also looking for additional dates for Jennifer Beaumert to come for clinics this year. Keep watching for more information.

2/9/03 Clinics etc

CRDA is having a musical freestyle clinic at LPF. Kelli is the clinician. Contact CRDA at crdressage.org for more information

We'll also be doing a Pony Club clinic at LPF on 3/28/03 and Jennifer Beaumert will be coming back for a clinic in April. We'll let you know when the date firms up.

 

1/18/03 Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone. Sure its 14 degrees out there, but that's no reason to stop riding! Anyway, we added a new page with Kelli's Bio, be sure to check it out.

2/8/01 Letter Perfect Farm incorporated

As we grew we found we needed some of the benefits of a corporation to be able to get and retain additional barn help. While Letter Perfect Farm, Inc. now leases the facilities and provides all the services, the same great care will be provided. Boarders should make all checks payable to Letter Perfect Farm, Inc. starting with the 3/1/01 board checks.

1/22/01 Its a busy winter at LPF

It got crazy here fast at LPF this winter. We had more boarders than we expected partly due to some friends in dire need. We had to add a quick "temporary" stall in the former wash stall. Kelli is determined to reclaim her wash stall in the spring. We currently have 14 horses, 8 of them from our 7 boarders.

4/1/00 Letter Perfect Farm opens for Business

Our first boarders arrived on 4/1/00, no fooling! Things were very much still under construction at the time, but everyone has been very understanding of our dream to make this a great place to board and to have fun doing Dressage.

It took some serious work before we could move the horses in

Let the boarding begin!

It took us a while to figure out what horses eat...
