Breaking, live, and local from the WB news room...

First of all a HUGE thanks to our Fix-Up day crew - Kelly, Jessica, Joanne, Mikeala, Tina, Viviana, Thea, Samantha, Orloff (we could do nothing with out you!), Vikki, Rachel, Billy, Patrick, and Cherry (our garden expert!).  You guys rock!

 

New Horses/Boarders

We want to welcome our new boarders: Denise Benhoff with Rose and Cinnamon, Rachel Campbell with Cedar, and Kaleigh Schetzler with Cody.  Also we want to congratulate the Gill family on their purchase of Magical Mist aka “Maggie” for Cleo. 

And new to Sunset Ridge in Aquasco - Dynamic Dan and Sounds Impossble owned by Billy Campbell.

Camp News

We are a third of the way through camp and it’s been hot and sticky – wow, what a crazy year for weather!  We made out okay thanks to our wonderful shade trees in the barn yard and a state-of-the-art sprinkler.  Thanks to our campers and staff so far this year for starting the summer off with tons of energy and enthusiasm.  We’ll see you in two weeks to get rolling again!  Just in case you aren’t signed up for the fun – there is still space in all four of the remaining weeks.
