July = Stuart Horse Trials

The big event of July for Great Bay Farm is the Stuart Horse Trials. We are looking forward to seeing all our friends from Area II, the great competitors party, wonderful hospitality, and a challenging yet beautiful cross country course. Although it's an 8 hour drive from the barn to our destination in Victor, NY, we make the most of it ... despite the AWFUL country music we had to succumb to once we got west of Schenectady.

Although Susan had hoped to ride hershey in the CIC** this weekend, with the cancellation of Seneca Valley in June, she felt he needed one more Intermediate under his belt. If all goes well this weekend at the Intermediate Horse Trials, the two star (**) at Plantation will be their goal.

Hershey will have his official FOR SALE flyers posted at this event. Although this is the horse of her dreams, Susan believes that New England is not the place for a horse with this much talent. By the end of the summer the Great Bay Eventers will have made at least 6 long journies to higher level events. It's been a wonderful season so far, but as a single mom Susan doesn't have the time to continue this kind of travel. So spread the word about this wonderful INTERMEDIATE EVENT HORSE for sale at Great Bay Farm.

Tomorrow just before noon we start off with dressage and we'll try to report daily, as time permits. So until then ... have a GREAT RIDE!
