Update:

Friday seems to be weather OK for horse care, and maybe some lounging...Saturday is still too wet and cold on forecast, so lessons will be canceled.
Stay warm and dry :)
Thank you!

Stay in touch

Dear volunteers, please, note that weather forecast for Saturday is "wintry mix "; " Ice Pellets
70% chance of precipitation", and most likely that all activities, including training, at the field will be canceled.
Final decision you will be able to find here or at the Spirit's FB , Friday evening.
I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for understanding.
If that happen, please, just proceed next week to come as you scheduled and new volunteers will start working together and continue your education with mentors on site.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you ,

Cold but fun morning with great group of new volunteers at Spirit Program! Thank you Eliina and Whitney for your devoted work today and great training session for our new crew. We are ready to start new Winter class next week at Thursday!

See you today!

It was gorgeus day yesterday! Too bad that I scheduled other things ahead... :( Today is coldish , but we can do it :)

Are you excited to come in Spirit Program?

So much about weather forecast!
Anyway, horses, and maybe some volunteers needed a short brake. See you Friday PM and Saturday AM.

No lessons Wednesday and Thursday this week.

It seems that Wednesday and Thursday will be bad weather day. As we do not have scheduled riders, we will have a break for horses, and keep them in as much as possible. See you Friday at 4.30.
