Extra Lessons/Summer Closure
Hello Students!
The last two weeks of summer are upon us! Is anyone looking to add a couple of extra lessons between now and when we close?
(We will be closed as of 5pm on Friday, July 29th)
Maybe a private to work on pesky bad habits one on one, or a make-up that you've been looking to book. I have plenty of spaces available on weekday evenings after 5pm. And a few on weekends as well.
Please contact the office via phone or email if you're interested in booking.
If you're done for the summer and are hoping to re-start lessons in the fall semester, please make sure that you have filled out a "Fall Reservation Request" form with the office, so that we know to include you in our fall scheduling. If you forgot please email the office with your current lesson time and day, and what your availability is for the fall.
Thanks and have a great summer!

Weekend Closure and Indy Parking
Hello Students and Visitors!
Every year at about this time the Honda Indy rolls into Exhibition Grounds, and as a result parking becomes the stuff of nightmares, and we have closures!
Parking: Starting the week of July 4th will (if you cannot get into lot 3), parking will be located underground at the Direct Energy Center. Park on the western side of the underground, and you can walk out through the "Heritage Court" exit which will bring you out right in front of the Ricoh Colliseum. Parking will likely stay in that location until the 13th or 14th of July.
Closures: The Riding Academy will be closed for lessons and assessments from end of day Wednesday, July 6th until beginning of day Monday, July 11th. (Please note that if The Honda Indy requires use of their RAIN DAY, it is scheduled for Monday, July 11th, and therefore lessons will not resume until the 12th.)
Thank you for your patience, if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact the office.

Riding Academy bids farewell to coaches Brandon and Kendal
From all of us at the Riding Academy we would like to wish Brandon a big farewell and good luck as he moves on to pursue his career as a chiropractor. He has made a big impression on many of our students, and we will miss him here! We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
We would also like to wish Kendal lots luck as she heads down south to compete in Florida with 4 horses! Kendal is working hard to qualify her horses for the Pan Am's and we hope to have her back in the spring with lots of ribbons and great stories. (And maybe a tan.)
Christine Curtin will be taking over both of their shifts and as sad as we are to see them go, we feel fortunate to have such a great replacement.
Joker's Hill Jumper Show
Shaken Not Stirred (Seven) and Fast Forward (Robin) both placed well this last weekend at the Joker's Hill Jumper Show with riders Aimee Longhurst and Clare Feldmen both bringing home ribbons.
