On Saturday evening we all attended the Classic Series Year End Awards Banquet at Le Moyne Manor in Syracuse.  I am so proud to announce that Breanne won a third place year end championship in the Maiden Walk Trot division.  Great job Breanne! We all enjoyed a lovely evening with good food, great friends, and lots of fun winning door prizes!

On Sunday we were featured in the Post Standard for our work with the Freedom Recreation Services riding program. It is a beautifully written article…enjoy!

The launch of the CNY Fertility Kids Club with the Meet & Greet Geronimo event on Saturday was a smashing success! 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!

We had a great time at the LCH Master’s Hunter Trials in Cazenovia this weekend!  Lynn competed on Dr.Kiltz’s Geronimo in the Junior Hunter division and won a 4th place ribbon in the over fences class!  Claire showed Chris’s horse, Chance in the Open Hunter division and got 6th in the over fences class. 

On Sunday Claire attended  Limestone Creek’s opening hunt.  The hunt began with the Parade of Hounds down Main Street in Cazenovia, NY.  The parade was great fun for the riders as well as the spectators! Claire rode Dr. Kiltz’s Geronimo in the first field on the hunt and had a glorious time!  The hounds were fantastic, the horses were wonderful, with great people, and lots of fun gallops and jumps along the way! 

Claire Affleck Training is honored to be hosting the launch party of Dr.Robert Kiltz’s CNY Fertility Kids Club!  On Saturday October 4th, Dr. Kiltz’s patients and their families are invited out to the barn to meet and greet Geronimo, play games, and enjoy a fall afternoon at the farm! We are very excited about this big event and are really looking forward to it!

On Sunday we attended the last horse show in the Classic Series at Heritage Stables right here in Skaneateles, NY.  Lily rode Dr.Robert Kiltz’s horse, Geronimo, in Leadline and came away with 7th place!  Heather schooled Silent Heart but showed Ransom in Walk Trot and earned three 7th place ribbons!  Breanne also showed Ransom and got a 5th, 7th, and 8th in Maiden Walk Trot.  Nice show ladies!

Lily and Geronimo!

On Saturday we attended the Limestone Creek Hunt Club Hunter Pace in Cazenovia, NY.  Pat, Lynn, and Claire rode as a team. Chris rode Shadow and Jeff rode Mason as another team.  We had so much fun riding the 10 mile pace!  The views were great, with nice walks in the woods as well as beautiful fields with places to gallop and jump.  Thank you LCH for hosting such a lovely event!
