IN THE NEWS
On the spot news from the Vermont Summer Festival!!
July 1, 2009 - Fox Heath is being represented
at the 2009 Vermont Summer Festival by three of our horses.
Lyra’s Compass, Rubico (Izzy), and Raspoetin V (Raz) are carrying the Fox
Heath colors this year.
Today found Lyra, Izzy, and Raz all competing in Schooling Hunter. Lyra was a good girl and placed
8th and 2nd,
Raz marched right around and placed 2nd and 3rd. (Raz got a 3rd to Lyra’s 2nd.) Izzy decided
that Vermont is beautiful and he wanted to look at stuff outside the
ring. His second trip was much
“calmer” than his first. Stay
tuned for developments.
July 3, 2009 – The waters have receded! After a day of intense rain/thunder
the rain has slowed to a drizzle.
The show must go on!! The class
sizes have had between 30 and 50 horses in each class. Even with the rain
everybody is having a good time.
The horses love it because it is cool (about 70 degrees). Lyra and Raz
both placed 8th in the 2’ 6” Adult Hunter Division. July 4th is a practice day
with fireworks scheduled for tonight.
July 4, 2009 – Happy 4th of July! This news just in… Lyra placed 6th,
not 8th, yesterday. We
are hoping that in a
few more days they will upgrade her to 3rd. (But we kind of doubt it.)
Fox Heath at June Fete!!
Fox
Heath riders and horses had a grand time at this year's June Fete Horse
Show. One of our "showcase"
rider and horse combinations is Deanna Yamasaki riding Harrison (Fire on
High). Deanna and Harrison had a very successful show with a
2nd in the Ariat Medal, 3rd in the Adult Amateur Hunter Classic and
winning
a significant amount of money. (Picture used with permission of Hoof

Fox Heath Thursday Horse Show Series Begins!
The
annual series of Thursday horse shows will begin at Fox Heath starting
June 25th. These shows
provide a wonderful opportunity for riders and horses to get accustomed
to the show environment.
Various divisions range from Lead Line to Schooling Hunter. In
addition, Fox Heath's outside course
is used to provide an arena that is new and challenging to riders with
only ring experience. The format
is that of a formal horse show but in a friendly environment.
