Lakefield. Because what s left of my teeth is not exactly what could be classified as prime real estate, I have my human the day.

Sometimes as we are in the midst of things, I tend to forget all the things that we actually did accomplish and all the fun we have had on the farm.

1 Lakefield Lead Line L A K E F I E L D F A R M Fall 2018 Barnside Our fall trees are so Beautiful! Whew! What an incredibly busy, fun summer. Our camp weeks were extremely popular, the cow clinic was a blast, and our students super successful at the show, out on the trail and in the arena. We welcomed new boarders, new school horses and added some great staff members. Our barn had a total roof replacement and we replaced all the side lights making our arena even brighter during Twinkle, Star, and Rosemary Since I last wrote, I have discovered a really good gig at Lakefield. Because what s left of my teeth is not exactly what could be classified as prime real estate, I have my human the day. Our outdoor got a new layer of footing and the dressage arena now has new corner rails. Sometimes as we are in the midst of things, I tend to forget all the things that we actually did accomplish and all the fun we have had on the farm. As fall arrives, we start thinking of different activities. We can get out and do more trail rides (if the rain would ever stop!), hopefully free of mosquitoes and flies. We have a Kettle Moraine Trail Ride planned for all that would like to join us. We are going to have a drive in movie night on Friday October 26th featuring the movie Hidalgo There s a Halloween Costume party planned for October 28 at 3:00. As the days get shorter, our thoughts will turn to utilizing different exercises and obstacles in the indoor, to keep ourselves as Star out of the Box trying to find me every kind of supplemental imaginable. It started with some dried alfalfa called Chaffhaye, oh, la de da. I ate it for about a week and then went on a hunger strike. The feeders then took up my cause, and I have free rein over all (get it, free rein?). They let me loose to eat grass. I mow the sides of the barn and the paddocks. I am free to wander around, visit and make faces at everyone whoever bit or kicked me (you know who you are). None of my so-called friends can get me. I am also being fed dried alfalfa cubes (which are soso) chaff, feed, hay and grass. It s well as our horses tuned up. Fall is also a great time to get out some of those books and DVD s on horsemanship and get some fresh ideas. Try Audio Lessons for Equestrians. Join our new Lakefield Book Club! We may slow down a little bit as fall starts to move into winter, but there is still a lot of activity at the barn and so many opportunities to learn. We look forward to seeing you Barnside! Rosanne a regular smorgasbord. For example, a few nights ago I had grain, hay, chaff and hay cubes on hay with a garnish of peppermint nuggets. As everyone says, presentation is everything. I have even forsaken ginger snaps for snacks with a little more zip. I am telling you, this is not the worst thing that has happened to me. Happy fall--death to all mosquitoes and flies!!!

Busy Tuesday at the Barn by Cirsten Paine A group lesson is in session in the arena. The sound of hoof beats punctuates the calls from the instructor. Sit up tall! Heels down! Soften your hands!

The sun would be beating down but it is shrouded by the smoke of forest fires, mercifully, half a continent away. Still, the moisture in the air clings like a second skin. Horses are everywhere.

2 Busy Tuesday at the Barn by Cirsten Paine A group lesson is in session in the arena. The sound of hoof beats punctuates the calls from the instructor. Sit up tall! Heels down! Soften your hands! It s a refrain we all know by heart and that we still find helpful. It is a busy Tuesday at the barn, a sultry August afternoon, warm and humid. The sun would be beating down but it is shrouded by the smoke of forest fires, mercifully, half a continent away. Still, the moisture in the air clings like a second skin. Horses are everywhere. The commerce of the farm is in full swing: teaching, training, boarding. High-end SUVs fill the parking lot. The place has the vibe of a successful business at its best. A group of young women, athletic in skin-tight breeches and knee-high half chaps, canter around the jumps in the outdoor arena. Their laughter drifts up to the barn as they slow their horses and check messages on cell phones. A group of friends returns from a trail ride around the property. Their relaxed conversation is evident in their posture, reins in one hand, gesticulating with the other. Out on the practice green, a tall thoroughbred takes jumps with ease as a trainer shouts encouragement to his rider and a lesson horse learns groundwork maneuvers from a student, or maybe vice versa. Inside there is controlled chaos. Hallways are full of horses and riders as saddles go up and come down. The smell of sweat, human and equine, mixes with the smells of hay, leather and barn. Everyone wants to cool off and the shower stall is as busy as a car wash on the Saturday before Easter. Winston, the farm s worn orange tabby, thumps down from the hay loft and, in his pack-aday gravel voice, demands to know where his dinner is. We feel the rain before it starts. The wind kicks up and tunnels through the halls. The temperature drops. Conversations quiet for an instant as girls lift their long hair and smile at the welcome air. It is a quintessential rain shower, soft and unthreatening. In the paddocks, horses eat their hay unperturbed and in the parking lot, nobody runs for shelter. Against the pink of the sunset, the welcome water cools and refreshes, washing away the late summer heat and reminding us all that fall is just around the corner.
