Gerard Hogervorst from Rotterdam, NL is visiting Timberlane Farm through Monday. Gerard and Laurie met in Los Angeles many years ago and have remained friends and business associates. Gerard has been instrumental in the selection process of several horses Laurie has imported for herself and her students in the past 10 years. Despite the usually cool August weather on Saturday, hearty Petersen chili for lunch provided everyone with just the right heat to battle the the drizzle. Gerard is an excellent teacher who quickly identifies areas of improvement and provides students with methods and techniques to make those adjustments. If you were unable to ride or attend this session, stay tuned for future clinics.

Pony Week August 2009
Despite a dire weather forecast, the rain held off for the most part and the August 2009 Pony Week was a big success. This week, the campers spent time learning how to care for horses and ponies, how to measure and identify markings, and how to take care of tack and the facility. They also created crafts, played games, were introduced to vaulting and learned the basics of riding. Friday found them showing off their new found skills to family and friends as well as an ice cream social. Special thanks to the counselors who did a great job this week.Stay tuned for announcements regarding opportunities for young riders throughout the year.
