SPRING MILL NEWS:
Did you know that Mounted
Miracles, a program of Ryan’s Hope, operates out of Aintree? Mounted
Miracles currently offers 2 programs: hippotherapy (horse therapy in
Greek) to moderate, severe and profoundly disabled children and adults,
as well as therapeutic riding. Hippotherapy teaches functional skills
rather than riding skills and is used as an adjacent therapy to children
already receiving physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Therapeutic
riding is best for mild to moderate disabled children to teach basic
horsemanship and riding skills. To find out how you can donate or
volunteer, please contact Corinne Derenburger at
ryanshopeinc@bellsouth.net or 861-7039.

AS THE WHEEL TURNS….THE HAMSTER’S CORNER
By Caroline Milot
It’s that time
of year again – RENEWAL TIME!!! You can renew your USEF & USHJA
memberships on line and print
temporary cards, or you can renew via snail mail.
Remember, you must be a member of both USEF & USHJA! If you renew both
organizations at the same time, you will receive one card. As in years
past, as soon as you receive your 2007 membership cards, make sure I get a
copy of them for the horse show book. Don’t forget to renew your
horse/pony’s membership also. I will also need copies of these too.
I will gladly check in Spring Mill Farm exhibitors, but I can only
do so if I have copies of all current membership cards for horse and
rider.
We will be switching to morning
and afternoon turn out now that the heat of summer is gone, so have your
horse or pony’s inside and outside clothing on their stall. Blankets
and Sheets look alike, so to prevent your horse or pony’s clothing items
ending up on someone else; make sure they are clearly labeled with either
horse/pony’s name or owner’s name!
Welcome to our new Aintree transplants – the Christians and
the Ernsts. Grace and “Chip”, and McKenzie and “Stripe” are now middle
barn pony kids!
