Fall is approaching!
We had to say goodbye to our friend and long time student Charlie Cook as he heads off to Virginia Tech. Charlie has been riding at PEC for about 5 years and is currently standing second in the zone in the Childrens Jumpers with his horse "Smooth Criminal." Good luck at school and we will all miss you!
We'd also like to welcome some new equine faces. "Belle" just arrived at PEC from Chicago. She is a 22 years young thoroughbred mare that is a welcome addition to our lease program. Head trainer Beth Stalsworth has known Belle for almost 15 years, used to show her as a child, sold her to a client in Chicago, and now she's back with us! Belle has competed sucessfully in eventing, dressage, jumpers, and hunters. She even qualified for Junior Hunter Finals just 3 years ago! She's looking forward to a mellow life in the Long Stirrup and Crossrails divisions.
We'd also like to welcome "Cinnamon Twist" or "Twisty." She is a beautiful large bay pony that has shown sucessfully up to the 2'6" hunters. She will be a great addition to our lease and lesson programs while she is offered for sale.
Lastly, we'd like to welcome "Foxmoor Pitty Pat." "Pitty" is a 2 y/o medium pony prospect that is already a favorite with the barn moms!
