Nothing much gets by Wynne, including as it would be, a surprise party, hosted by her good friends Coleman, Kate and Emily. Perhaps it was the insistence that she come at exactly 6 pm last night to watch a movie at Kate’s house… or perhaps there were other giveaways… in any case, a lovely gesture …
Month: December 2016
Farewell to Johnny… Yahoo…
He first came to us in 2003 through Daniel Geitner. A cool, kind, dark brown thoroughbred gelding, he had had several successful careers before he arrived; as a race horse, then jumper. Our first official jumper, he was a great one to show all of us newbies the ropes. Competitive enough to be super fun, …
New Teams for the New Year!
Lots of new fuzzy faces at Cedarhill! Congrats to Claire Croghan who full leased Lollie for the year- a lovely large bay mare that that is eligible green- they will have a fun time this year in the C show larges as well as the A show green pony division. Claire already has been applying …
Misty Meadows gets some Great ones…
We were so happy to find out that Misty Meadows had places in their program for our wonderful horses- Caesar, Cruiser, and Friend. All have been great horses at Cedarhill both in the show ring and in the barn, with super successful show careers. They now are applying these great temperaments to yet another endeavor- …
Cedarhill Events for 2017
We would like for our riders to download the list of horse shows and check off the ones most likely to attend. This is not so much as sign up as a vote as to where we as a barn will go. Note that there will be a sign up at the barn for our …
Pester Pester Pester…

Steve Heinecke Clinic
Some of our Cedarhill riders will be attending the Steve Heinecke clinic on next Sunday December 18th. Join us and audit the clinic for some great insight; Mr Heinecke, a “R” judge and trainer will be going over how a judge scores over fences and handy rounds as well as hack classes and equitation. Pre- …
Wandering halters no more.
We have put hooks at both ends of the barn in which to hang spare halters and lead ropes that can be universally used by all. We would like from now on to have the halters that are on each horse’s stall front to be off limits unless you are involved with that equine. Please …
December Holiday Premiere
We had a great group of riders head down to Aiken for the Equus Events horse show December 1-4 for the first show of the season. Congratulations to our junior hunter riders; Emily Orrell and Sawyer who got better as the weekend progressed, Lindsey Rigney and Calypso who won a class and was reserve champion …
Christmas Cheer… for our VIllage!
For those who are truly involved in our sport, you know that it takes a village to get your rider and horse performing at their best. Sometimes it is help catching them in the field- other times it is diagnosing a sore fetlock…coming on their day off to fix that loose or missing shoe… bathing …
