***MY TWO CENTS WORTH***

 
June has been a busy horse month even with all the rain. I was able to get back to riding pretty quickly. The broken wrist really hasn't slowed me down too much. Mercydes and I took in some lessons with Elaine Banfield a couple times during the month. Sheryl Feller at Blue Bear was nice enough to let us join them there when Elaine traveled there which cut my trailering time in half. I had set a goal to show at the Dressage Winnipeg dressage show June 25 & 26. We made an appearance. Everyone fell in love with Mercydes. We blinded them with her flashy browband. It was great to be with a bunch of dressage nuts for the weekend. Mercydes and I did not disgrace ourselves too badly. We were not really ready to show but figured if we waited we might never leave the farm. It was especially nice to have my daughter Jackie join me last weekend at the dressage show. It was nice to have the roles reversed;I used to be the show mom for her. Next week I am headed back up the to the Oakbank - Birds Hill area. Dressage Winnipeg is hosting a dressage camp at Pine Ridge Equestrian Park July 4-7. I will be volunteering and auditing at camp. Mercydes is coming along with me. We hope to get some riding in while we're there. There are some evening sessions that you can attend; no need to be a member, all are welcome. Check out the DW Dressage Camp schedule http://www.dressagewinnipeg.com/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=25&cntnt01returnid=15
There is no shortage of horse events in MB in July. I encourage you to get out to the local fairs and shows or hit the trails in Birds Hill or Spruce Woods Parks. Be sure to bring along the bug spray...they are crazy this summer!
Check out my extensive listing of bug sprays at http://www.mordenhomehardware.ca/SuesTackShop/HorseHealth/data.html
 
**SECRET DEALS** Often I get sweet offers from my equestrian suppliers that require a quick turnaround. I never know what is going to come my way. Sometimes there are monthly or weekly specials that suppliers offer or other times they are clearing out inventory. Some months there are one or two deals; some months up to 5 or 6. I pass on these hot deals to my "Secret Deals" subscribers. If you'd like to receive my "Secret Deals" you will need to subscribe. Simply click here http://www.mordenhomehardware.ca/SuesTackShop/SecretDeals/data.html. Don't forget to confirm, AWeber (publisher) will send you an email. Since you may not have had email from them before be sure to check your junk mail and mark it as safe as it may end up in there.
