Winter Clinic with Kelley at CBF #1 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.

Congrats to Susan on the purchase of Ludlow!

Ludlow came and went in a hurry! He was snatched up by Susan Bain-Schmidt before we had a chance to post him. This lucky boy has safely made the trek to his new home in Colorado and is settling in to his new digs. What a lovely young horse sourced by the wonderful folks at Ballyclare Farm. Congratulations to Susan! We can’t wait to see updates on his progress!

January 30th Winter Clinic Schedule

For anyone trailering in please remember to clean up the area around your trailer before you leave. There are muck tubs and pitch forks available for use should you need them. It is important for everyone to do their part if the grounds at CBF are to stay as lovely as they are. PARKING: As you come in the main driveway make your first right toward the indoor ring. Parking is in the area to your left after you make that turn. When possible please stay on the paved area just to your left when you park. Overflow for that area is in the grass to the left of ring driveway behind/beside the paved lot. Please do not pull down the driveway going past the rings.

We will strictly observe COVID protocols outlined in the CBF COVID waiver. Masks must be worn when you are unmounted.

For parking please do your best to stay on the paved parking area and when that is not possible please drive/park gently on the grass to the left of the driveway as you head for the indoor. Please do not pull down the driveway going past the rings as there is not a good place to park or turn around in that direction!
