One cool Sunday afternoon in June we accepted an invitation to visit beautiful Zemosa Acres.  Zemosa is the home of Allison Niblock, an adult rider who often calls on AC Jones for advice or help with a young horse.  We are entirely grateful to Allison for this opportunity to enjoy a leisurely ride with our horses in open air and open spaces of Zemosa Acres. 

Horses, and riders, young and.... older, experienced the great outdoors.  We all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon!

Oh, my Gosh!  What a day January 27, 2008 was!   A beautiful warm & sunny winter day and we delegated it as 'cross country schooling day' at Why Not An American Ark. "The Ark" in Monroe, hosts NCHJA-rated Hunter/Jumper shows and USEF-rated Three Day Events.  In the off season, Amy and Jeff Wylie open their wonderful facility to the public for it's specific uses and we spent an entire afternoon taking full advantage of its wide open spaces and challenging jumping efforts.  April, Melissa, AC, Noah, Simon and Freedom navigated ditches, banks, drops, tiger traps, coffins, shed rows, panels, coops, log piles and 'whiskey barrels'.   Freedom 'hopped up' (literally) a 3-foot bank from a standstill, just to see what Simon was doing standing on the top!  It was such a rush to see how much fun the horses were having.  (Not to mention the fun we had).  April is already coniving a plan of trying her hand at least  at one Novice Level 3-Day Event (between horse shows) sometime this spring! 

from you.
