Cross Timbers News & Events
April 2006
| Welcome to the inaugural April issue of the Cross Timbers News page. Hopefully I'll have time to keep it up-to-date. We will post new news and events from around the barn as well as shows we will be attending and ride times, etc. |
Dreyfus 2001-2006
I'm sure most of you
have had the opportunity
to meet Dreyfus over the
past few years he's lived
here at Cross Timbers.
He passed away last
week, we were all
devastated here at the
farm. To Will, his owner,
I speak on behalf of
everyone here, we are
truly sorry for your loss
and will never forget him.

| ODS Holds Prep Clinic Three CT students attended the annual ODS Spring Show Prep Clinic in Shawnee last month, Hailey Howard, Daylan Whittle, and Janel Byrd. They learned and brushed up on show preparation for both horse and rider. They practiced braiding, took a lesson, and rode a scored test at the end. This was Hailey's first time in the show ring, she and Breeze received a 68% on their Intro A test. Awesome!! |
| Great Turnout for Tack About 16 people turned out Sunday March 26th for our bi-annual tack cleaning extravaganza. It's always a great time with Pizza and Soda for lunch. Be sure to keep an eye on the news for the next one this fall. |
