What's Happening?
HFF is rockin' and rollin', that's what's happening!
We've got trailrides, horse shows, fun shows, parties, camps, and
camp-outs planned for the year and we want you to join in the fun!
The show season has already started and the GSDHJA
schedule is hot! There will be FIVE East County Horseshow
Organization (ECHO) shows this year, the first one coming up on March
27, at Heartland Ranch in Lakeside. Sweetwater Farms in Bonita is
holding a hunter show monthly. And let's pick a summer multi-day
show in Del Mar, just for the fun of it!
And speaking of Del Mar, let's remember the Del Mar
Horseshow. We'll have the usual gang of 40 or so folks joining us
at the Grand Prix - Tickets are limited so reserve yours early.
Many HFF riders are moving up in the divisions.
Our stellar Green Rider girls, Emma, Chrystal, and Talia, will be taking
the leap to the 2'6" divisions. Sierra and Oreo have graduated
from the Walk/Trot classes and will be taking on the Crossrail riders.
Don't be surprised when Lauren and Sugar jump up to the Green Rider
Hunters.
Trailrides? We've got lots of places to explore
this year. Overnighter in the desert? Back to the beach!
Let's do a snowy mountain ride in the Lagunas. We also want to try
Hollenbeck Canyon in Jamul and Santa Ysabel Preserves outside of Julian.
Every day with HFF offers new experiences, valuable
lessons, and good horsemanship.
New Worming Protocol
At the advice of our East County Large Animal Practice
veterinarians, we will no longer be paste worming our horses on a
regular quarterly basis. ECLAP explains, "As a result of an
increase in parasite resistance to de-wormers, we now de-worm horses
only twice a year, along with fecal egg count tests to make sure they
are parasite free."
At our January Vaccination clinic, we collected fecal
samples from many of our horses. We are pleased to announce that
there was not a single positive result! We'll be de-worming and
taking more fecal samples in July. |
