I would like to announce the retirement of Chris’s great grey pony, Shadow.  When Shadow first came into our lives she was a lesson pony here at the barn.  She was sweet enough for the special needs children, quite enough for beginners, and lively enough for the even most experienced rider to appreciate! While Shadow was patient with the beginner lesson students, there was nothing she loved more than a good gallop to a big jump! Shadow eventually came up for sale and she was lucky enough to have Chris buy her. Living at Chris’s barn was like being at a spa! Shadow enjoyed lush green pastures, long trail rides through the woods, finding logs to hop over, streams to cross, and fields to gallop in. Shadow even became Chris’s mount for hunter paces and fox hunts this past year! What a stunning team they made! Now Shadow has made her way to her original home in Vermont where she will enjoy her retirement years. We will all miss her terribly but if any pony has earned a retirement, it’s our Shadow!
