Flying Duchess Ranch

Would there be much interest in some WE obstacle practice this Sunday Sept 27? I could set up a course, and would let people reserve time slots for some open training time. $25 an hour per rider/horse. Not lessons but I'll be around schooling my training horses if there are questions.

If we have enough interest, I'll make a registration.

Last week we had our final event and competitions, and what an event it was! From cross country, to cross country with jumps, and a WFEA open world cup, with loads of training before and in-between, we ended with an amazing group of high scores and many personal bests. This was the first time I've done three days of cross country archery, and I will definitely be doing more next year. The new horse track system doubling as an archery cross country track worked out great, so now we will be building permanent archery stands and score sheets for our cross country track.

For our WFEA our final results were:

First place: Jorge Meza with 131.12 on a horse named Ayla.
Second place: Katie Stearns with 130.77 on a horse named Drogo.
Third place: Kasper Woon with 126.74 on a horse named Buda.

Our top 10 archers were 75 and above, with our top 5 scores being over 100!

Thank you everyone who came to participate and help. Thank you Konkoly Merse with Arrowprints for all of your support training our group over the years. We are steadily moving forward as a group, and I am so proud of team Broken Arrow!

We had a great club practice today! Last practice before our last competition of the season 😄

We had a wonderful club practice last weekend. We will have another club practice this coming weekend, followed by our last horse archery event of the year next week!

Three participants from this last weekend's clinic and schooling show were talking about who was the oldest amongst us, and we found out they were all born and graduated in the same years! Three wonderfully inspirational women riding, learning, and trying new to things. Thank you for coming ladies!

I also managed to get photos of everyone during ease of handling for the schooling show too! Thank you for a great weekend everyone, and thank you Kim Roe for judging for us!

Great day! Here are some photos from the dressage phase of our schooling show today :D So proud of everyone and their horses!

Today was dressage day. Yesterday and today I got out my horses in training as well, and one was ridden by his owner!

Looking forward to putting it all together tomorrow for the schooling show. This has been a great group!

Friday Ease of Handling obstacle day was a success! Dressage photos from today's clinic to come next :)

Sunday the 2nd we had our second to last WFEA Open World Cup Competition.

Final Results:

First place Jorge Meza with 132.19 on a horse names Ayla.
Second place Lia Blackett with 119.23 on a horse named Bronte.
Third place Kasper Woon with a 118.25 on a horse named Arete.

Congratulations everyone! and Thank you Bill Edgar for the fantastic photos!
