How To Make Horse Treats

Lauren, Kendra and Alicia had a great time making horse treats
from scratch for their lesson in December!
Sarah did a great job coordinating the ingredients and
keeping everything from burning in the oven!

Lauren fed Joanie her personalized "J" shaped treat!


Joanie says "mmm, mmmm gooood"!!
Senorita was smiling for more!

Apache enjoyed his treats so much, he licked the baking sheet clean!

Couldn't have planned this picture any better!
Pepper was looking out of his stall and waiting for his treat!

George Clinic - Misc. Pics...

Heather and Sarah had a great time again this year attending
the George Morris clinic at Canterbury Farm just outside of Chicago.
This was our 3rd year attending and we look forward to more next year!
Hope you enjoy some of the many pictures I took this year!
Don't forget to go to the kecponyclubcenter YouTube site

A square oxer with a hedge in the middle is called an Italian Oxer


The rolltop - it's a U shaped wooden boxed covered on both sides with real grass sod!



Sea World whale jumps to desensitize the horses
not to spook at them when they go to Florida for the winter circuit!

Check out the Panoramic view setting on my new camera!


George demonstrating collection using a riding stick

George and Heather in front of the Chinese Olympic jump.

It's set up here to full height of 5'3" - that 's the height they jumped in the Olympics!
They jumped it at 4'6" at the clinic on the last day.... it was still very impressive!

George Clinic - Jumping the Chinese Wall

This colorful jump is an exact replica
to the one used for the 2008 Olympics in China!



Looks like this rider's head is about to hit the rafters, he's jumping so high!!
