Ride Times For Hawley Bennett Jan. 11-12, 2014

Yes Please...

Time to kick it into gear for 2014, and Dragonfire is ready to help get you going by bringing you Canadian Super Star Eventer, Hawley Bennett.

Please be warmed up and ready before your ride time starts so that you can get the full benefit of your time with Hawley. No need to bring a sack lunch as the Deer Creek Pony Club will be on hand with a snack bar including lunch items, so you will be able to stay the day and watch the rest of the lessons without starving to death.  Also, we are inviting our riders to a potluck dinner up at the house on Saturday night so that everyone can spend some quality time with Hawley and ask her all kinds of questions about what it feels like to represent her country in International Three Day Eventing. Please email Jenny at dragonfirefarm@frontiernet.net to let us know how many in your party are planning on coming to dinner ASAP so that we can be prepared.

Video Update: 2013 Academy@Dragonfire Jingle Bell Show

Our annual Holiday Show for the Academy was a great success with our riders showing off to their families all of the things they have been learning. Whether they were riding their own mounts or an Academy horse/pony, they were all impressive in their sportsmanship, as well as their riding and horsey-decorating skills! Spectators enjoyed a free lunch provided by Dragonfire while they saw great performances in Dressage, Jumping, on the flat, and Games. The weather was splendid, and certainly all went home with the satisfaction of a job well done and a day spent amongst friends and fellow horse enthusiasts.

We would like to thank Sheldon Feed for being so generous in their sponsorship of our Academy Shows. The fabulous prizes are much appreciated by our riders!
