Show Success!!!

Mary and our leasers Juliana and Lynne had great success at the Gaited Spectacular 2009 held in Albany, OR last week and hosted by the NW Pleasure Tennessee Walking Horse Association.

Some highlights:

Mary came home with a Reserve Championship with July Del Norte and Lynne a Fourth Place Championship in Open Gaited Breed 2-gait. Mary also took a blue with July for In-Hand Trail.

Mary and Lynne won matched pairs, it was the second year in a row that Lucero Del Norte and July Del Norte have won this honor, can they do it a 3rd time?

Juliana took home a 1st in 'Never Done this Before' with Lucero and a 3rd in Novice Trail with Precious.

Mary & Juliana made their off-side dismount and remount in the Paso Fino Country Pleasure class, and Mary brought home the championship with July, and Juliana the reserve champion with Lucero.

Many more ribbons were won and everyone had a great time, but they sure were tired! Next up: Evergreen Gaited Classic in Puyallup, Washington!

Lessons/Equine Facilitated Therapy

Coming Soon   - New Lesson Program - Summer 2020

We are in the process of developing a new lesson program at Synergy Stables for teens and adults.  We hope to roll this program out with appropriate safety precautions for Covid-19 in the summer of 2020.  We will focus on basic English and Western riding and horsemanship skills for beginning and intermediate riders in a safe and supportive environment. There will also be an option for intermediate/advanced riders to explore the world of Paso Fino riding. Email us at synergyor@gmail.com to get on our mailing list for the lesson program updates.

With so many challenges in our world right now, there has never been a more important time to focus on well being and good health and coping skills.  To address those needs, we are planning to expand our equine therapy offerings in the coming months.  Stay tuned.
