Final Jump Chute Clinic Schedule

Here’s our final schedule for Tuesday’s jump chute clinic at A Bit Better Farm – this has gone out by email but please double-check as we have moved a few times back to accommodate another horse. And please also check your emails to see if you owe anything – there are a few who still need to do releases for ABBF, pay, and send a Coggins.

Irideon Riding Wear

Irideon Riding Wear Hampshire Breeches from Toklat Originals are my “go to” breeches for day to day wear. They are simple but stylish and really hold up to a full day of riding, teaching and barn chores without showing a lot of wear and tear. Adding the TechFleece option makes getting dressed for cold winter weather just a little more pleasant. They are warm and super comfortable with the nicest fleece on the inside!

Jump Chute Clinic Schedule

Our tentative schedule for Tuesday’s Jump Chute clinic at A Bit Better Farm went out by email last night (please check to make sure you don’t owe money or paperwork – all of which is due by tonight if you do…) As you can see we have two mid-afternoon spots available! Email margaret@mythiclanding.com if you’d like to book one (or both!)

“When you watch horses free jump and do gymnastics you see that each has their own style… they prepare their balance in their own way. The goal of a jump chute is to guide horses is learning how to use their bodies…and enable them to progress mentally and physically in a positive way.”

Voltaire Design

If there is one thing other than blood sweat and tears (and an amazing horse) that can elevate your riding it is having the right saddle. Voltaire Design USA & Canada saddles and the amazing support from their skilled saddle experts have had a huge impact on my riding. I can’t say enough about how important it is to be in the right saddle for both the horse and the rider and Voltaire Design is the very best experience I have ever had at addressing both.

No-Fail Blanket Folding

Who else hates winter blankets?! Here’s Kelley’s no-fail folding format for getting them to hang up nicely & keep everything neat and tidy!

No Thrush Hoof Powder

No Thrush Hoof Powder from Four Oaks Farm Products will change the way you treat thrush. We use is every single day in our barn, especially during those wet fall and spring months. It could not be easier to apply and is much less mess than any other product you might use. I also like the idea that the product is 100% natural and safe. Over and over again is has helped horses with thrushy soles/frogs and sore center heel sulcuses. A light dusting when you pick out feet can help with the prevention of thrush on horses that are prone to it as well.

Our Newest Sponsorship

We are so excited to announce our newest sponsorship through Toklat Originals with Royal Rider Stirrups Italy ! It’s surprising how many interesting options there are nowadays, where stirrups are concerned! We’ve been test-riding them all this week (they are so new they are not even on the Toklat website yet but we will let you know as soon as they are available!) and look forward to sharing a bit about each of these stirrups so you can see what #RoyalRider stirrups has to offer you!

Winter Clinic with Kelley at CBF #2 Schedule

Auditors are always welcome and auditing is FREE!

No major changes to the schedule ….see you all Saturday!

For anyone who has not been to Covered Bridge Farm before the address is 2435 Duvall Rd, Woodbine, MD. You will pull in to the main driveway and take almost an immediate right towards the indoor ring. There is a small gravel lot to the left before you get to the outdoor ring that we should try to efficiently park as many trailers on as possible. Overflow is on the grass beside that lot just along the driveway. Ideally we will just keep to the paved areas as much as possible! Thanks so much!!!

Please be sure to clean up after yourself and you horses in the parking area. There is a muck tub at the gate to the outdoor ring should you need it.

There is not water available on the grounds so please be sure to bring what you need!

***I need new release forms for everyone for 2023 if you have not signed them already.
