The October Show, and final show of the 2020 year was nothing short of interesting!  Hurricane Zeta made her presence known a mere 2 days prior to the horse show.  A power substation substation sustained much damage which resulted in FENCE not having power throughout the weekend....however The Show Must Go On, and it did! The competitors who opted to come did so with great attitudes and they were rewarded with beautiful weather and footing! The Costume Class (this was October 31 afterall!) was a HUGE success and really helped to bring a sense of normalcy and community to show attendees and volunteers alike. Speaking of volunteers, FRC is hugely indebted to our loyal group of volunteers. We are saddened that we will not be albe to host our End of Year Volunteer Awards  and Rider Year End Awards Banquet. Rider points earned from 2020 will roll over into 2021. Until then, stay safe and have a happy holiday season.
All LIVE seminars are postponed for now HOWEVER we are venturing into Online Seminars. See 'News' Below.....

Lori is a Registered Yoga Teacher through The Yoga Alliance, holds a Yoga Teacher Certification from the

Anusara School of Yoga, a Pre and Post-Natal Yoga Certification through The Integral Yoga Institute and an IM=X Pilates Certification.

How to Pull A Shoe....your horse's not your own!
A ack.......We have all had that sick feeling in the pit of our tummies of going to get our trusty steed from their pasture or stall and notice that they have smeared one of their shoes sideways on the hoof, often times with the clip shoved into the white line. 
 
WHAT TO DO!!!  Of course we want our farrier or vet to magically appear before our eyes, but the reality is they are tied up on previous appointments and cannot drop everything to come to our rescue.
  
The Solution????  Master Farrier Sean Gaul and his assistant Chaise Cantrell have put together a quick informative video detailing how to pull a shoe and the tools you will need!

The Tree House Yoga Studio...
is a gem nestled in the peaceful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Columbus, North Carolina.
Each season brings a new view from the private yoga studio:  Winter opens up the eyes to the neighboring pasture with a little white barn, horses grazing and the nearby mountains.  In Spring and Summer we are enveloped in a canopy of green leaves creating a natural sanctuary with the accompaniment of birds singing and water flowing.  In Fall, before the trees surrender their leaves, we are witness to warm golds, bright yellows and vibrant reds that only this time of year brings.
