Just got a message from the Park Management that there is a rental in the indoor today and tonight so lessons will either have to be cancelled if it is raining or moved to the lower ring.
Forecast calls for some showers at 4 and 5 :(
I think we shall cancel lessons tonight to be safe
Our Mission is to foster healing and learning life skills through interaction with horses
