We hope everyone
had a joyful summer. We couldn't wait to get "back in the
saddle" and get classes underway. Our fall semester has
quickly filled up with the addition of riders from Magnolia ISD giving
us a total of 62 riders! What a year this has been for
JoyRide! Read below about the many upcoming events. The joy
continues!

the amazingly generous folks at Gulf Coast 4-Star Trailer Sales in

Luke, the Simulator Horse, Coming to JoyRide Center
|
|
On November
11-12, JoyRide will be the site of a very
unique riding clinic. Luke is a black fiberglass horse
dressage simulator. He has sensors in the mouth, head, neck,
beneath the saddle and on each side which provide instant feedback to
the rider. This is a once in a lifetime chance to school on
a horse that won't buck, shy, or second guess his
rider. Ride times and auditor space are
limited. Contact Mary Kay Hasseman, marykaydressage@me.com,
for more information.

database. If any of you are familiar with this program and
wouldn't mind sharing your knowledge when our extremely non-techy staff
has questions, please contact Peggy
Wagner .
