This week Taylor Turn is celebrating the American holiday- Halloween!  Students and parents arrived with smiles and curious ideas of what tricks and treats would await them.  The barn was looking festive with decorations of witches and glowing pumpkins for the warm fall night of this party.  Students and instructors alike all dressed up for the riding party.  In addition to dressing up themselves, the students also decorated the horses to their own taste.  Emily even brought her dog, Tucker, in a headless horseman costume.  The riding party included games on horseback and a scavenger hunt after the ride.  The horseback games included scary posing, musical cones, limbo, candy corn bobbing, pumpkin rolling, and eye ‘n spoon to name a few.  The scavenger hunt had rhyming notes that included horse knowledge and hints around the property.  Students and parents enjoyed figuring out the hints and picking up their treats as their reward.  The evening was accompanied with spooky fun music to listen to while the students were riding. The evenings were a great success!  Thanks to all that helped and participated.

The tack store known as Golden Royal is going out of business. The store will be bought out and operated by Horseloverz.com. The store has lots of items from clothing, house wares, to horse tack, and supplements.  Be sure to tell them Taylor Turn Stable sent you!

The hot heat won’t beat the students!  The horseback riding lesson students worked on horse parts and learning how to bathe a horse this past week.  Instructor Emily asked questions and brought paint for the students to use while painting on their answers.  Questions going over horse parts to help students study and learn more about our equine friends.  Shay, a horse in training, was the muse for this lesson.  You can see the colors and points of interest all over her!  Brenda used her own horse, Sadie, as her muse.  Before washing the horses the students were allowed to have some fun painting over the horses as well.  It’s important to us that our students have a complete experience of the horse world during their lessons.

Moving forward with the lesson program Taylor Turn Stable now has recent graduate, Emily Thiesing, as the main instructor for the Taylor Turn Lesson Program.  Emily graduated from St. Mary of the Woods with a degree in Instruction and Training.  After speaking with Emily it was clear her goals and values were in line with the beliefs of myself and wishes for the lesson program.  Students will continue learning on the ground and in the saddle.  The program will help students move forward to reach their goals, while incorporating fun games and basic skills.  Emily is free to incorporate her own ideas, but I will still be available for guidance along the way.  I will still be available for lessons and clinics, but the main program will be run by Emily.

Thank you for visiting Taylor Turn Stable’s website!  In my efforts to keep up with the growing sites and searches on the internet, I’ve started a new word press site.  This site should help keep all clients better informed, as well as informing new ones too!  All clients please feel free to leave suggestions and what content you would like to see covered.

The site is still under construction.  Contact us, find us on Facebook under Taylor Turn Stable or Todays Equine, or on Twitter under the stable name….. until more info is posted.
