Let's Hear It For The Old People

Congratulations to the Over 40 Souhegan Riders who had a very successful day of competition at the Oakrise Pleasure series: Walk Trot Pleasure Champion Sue O'Connell (Toby); Green Horse Reserve Champion Cory Welch (Razzle); and Co-Reserve Champions for Novice Adult Pleasure Wendy Welch (Jet) and Scott O'Connell (QT).  You may not be able to teach these old dogs new tricks.... but they can ride.   

"We Are Family.... I Got All My Sisters With Me..."

The Souhegan Riders had a terrific day at the Oakrise Pleasure Series yesterday.  Team members competed at all levels with terrific results.  The rain showers during the middle of the day did not dampen anyone's spirit.  When the day end awards where announced, it was full of Souhegan Riders.  Congratulations to Coach Mercy and all the riders for an outstanding day.

Out to Pasture....

So one of the benefits of giving the front field its annual spring time rest...... its a great place to ride.  For the past month, our riders and trainers have been using the hills in the front field not just for a mini trail ride but to build the hind end of the herd for show season. The quarter horse got its name for its incredible speed in a quarter mile race.  The speed comes from the strength of its hind end.  Working them on the hills gives them that beefy and strong look that is so typical for the breed.  And it a lot of fun too.
