I would like to congratulate Chris on the purchase of her new pony, Umbella (latin for “Shadow”), as she is a spitting image of Shadow in her younger day…and acts just like her too! Umbella is a 14.2 hh Welsh/TB cross. She is very sweet on the ground and blast to ride. Chris will enjoy many, many hunter paces and hunts on her!

There were a lot of smiling faces! The kids were able to ride Geronimo, Ransom, and Rannita. There was a big straw bale mountain that they got to climb, a game of “Pin the Tail on Geronimo”, pumpkins to paint, a magician, popcorn and cotton candy. Over 300 guests and volunteers enjoyed a beautiful fall day surrounded by great people and beautiful horses! Claire Affleck Training looks forward to hosting more events like this in the future!
