On Saturday morning, Dr. Jamie Klements of JW Holistic Veterinary Care hosted the Cadets Horsemanship clinic on Saturday morning. Forty-three Cadets attended the clinic where they learned about equine skeletal structure and chiropractic treatment for horses. Dr. Klements also demonstrated her cool thermography machine on Eloise the puppy.

After hours on Friday night, riders returned on foot to the Sanctuary for the People Puissance and hot chocolate, Christmas Cookies and carols. On Saturday, the Sanctuary was hopping with the very competitive Pony Hoppers races! And although there were plenty of spills, bumps and full scale wipe outs – all ponies and riders were unharmed!

Donation boxes are set up outside the ribbon room by the R+L arena through December 10 and we will continue to accept women and children’s clothing, boots and outwear for Hope House; as well as unwrapped toys for Dayton Children’s Hospital in honor of Brooklyn Sims.
