2008 Racine County Hunter Pace

Beth and Flicka jumping up!

KEC had 13 riders participate in the Hunter Pace this year!

We had 4 teams compete - 3 jumpers and 1 non-jump.

The weather was warm and sunny and the trails were great!

Our groups favorite was getting to jump the banks!

Beth and Flicka jumping down!

Lindsay and Casey - who later decided jumping down the bank wasn't such a great idea!

Lindsay and Casey - check out her new trail pad with pocket!

Cassie Riding Cody

On the way home from helping at the fox hunt,

Cassie got to test ride her new potential mount - Cody.

He's a good boy and would make a great addition to the KEC barn!!

September was a blur

Thanks again to everyone who showered me with support after my suprise appendix surgery! The month of September was a bit of a blur for me with getting things "back to normal" in the barn, house and with my health!

Thanks to the Wayland Ecology club helping

with farm work for an afternoon.

A special thanks to Beth for coordinating it!

The girls caught the new baby kitty -

who now has many names:

Romeo, Pipsqueak, Squeaky and Helper

KEC Horse Show Jump Painting Crew - looking good!
