First off, I would like to say hello and welcome back! Sorry for not posting anything recently, been a crazy summer. It’s also been a crazy summer for EF LLameri, who went to the VAHA show and she is going to Nationals in 1st level dressage!! At Nationals she is also going to be doing training level junior horse and various sport horse under saddle classes. We all wish Meri good luck in the show and congrats for her accomplishments!
Speaking of Showing… I hope all of you remembered that here at Evergreen we are having a show this upcoming Saturday (July 23). Closing date is in 3 days (Monday 18th)!!! Please remember that the entry has to be either post marked or in Pam’s hands in order for it to be accepted. The judge for Saturday’s show is Ms. Jessica McTaggert who graduated with an L with distinction. This is her first show with us and we are looking forward to welcoming her with a great show. Speaking of great shows, as the year progresses our shows have been swiftly gaining entries and we are thrilled!
Another reason that this upcoming show is going to be new is the fact that we have brand new footing. Yes I said it folks, bbrraannndd new footing. It’s called AIRFOOT and you can read about it here. However, if you don’t want to read about it there, I can just tell you here. AIRFOOT is essentially ground up running shoes. Now that may not sound too terribly interesting, but think about it. People spend millions of dollars designing and engineering materials to support and cushion runners’ feet. These same materials, when added to footing, can reduce concussion rates, add cush and spring to horses steps. Yet, as they do this, they do not change it so significantly that adjustments are needed when experiencing a new footing.
“The rubber itself provides a degree of cushion, but the real value comes from Bridging which is the result of AIRFOOT particles creating millions of tiny air pockets in your footing. As your horse travels over these bridges, the air is forced out, and they gently collapse.”
It also prevents packing and traps moisture and dust. This footing is used by the top riders in all disciplines. It is highly recommended and we think you should come try it out on the 23rd.
