Shakerag Hounds Opening Meet 2004It was the perfect fall day for the sixty-first annual Shakerag Hounds Opening Meet. Three bay horses from Bits & Bytes Farm had the pleasure of riding to the hounds - Big Money with Marie van Roekel, Brew This with Barry and our newest horse Wiseguy's Out with Elizabeth. All three horses were well behaved and performed beautifully.
There were over seventy-five riders followed by the tally-ho wagons carrying another seventy-five people. It was a fantastic day to be out in the fresh air and enjoying the riders, horses and fall colors.
At the end of the day we enjoyed a catered hunt breakfast that satisfied everyone's hunger. I think we can say a great time was had by all - riders and spectators alike.
Fall Comes to Bits & Bytes FarmThanks to the van Roekels (Marie and Gertjan) it is starting to look like Fall around our farm. Our resident artist, Marie, carved the Bits & Bytes Farm logo into - not one but - two great pumpkins! They also spruced up our arena with new silk flowers and two scary scare crows.
We like to keep it interesting for the horses in the arena. Our horses are exposed to all kinds of "spooky" things from cats hiding in coops, to football teams and whistles on the dark school grounds to scare crows on fences. We feel it is an important part of their training to see new obstacles and so we keep it interesting by changing out the fences and decorating them for the season. Thank you Marie and Gertjan! Call or come by for a visitPlease call us to discuss which horse might be the best match for you based on riding skill, experience and equine personality. We do not send out videos because it is important to match the personality of the horse with the personality of the rider. We are matchmakers, not horse brokers. We have horses in a wide price range. Call us to discuss prices or to schedule an appointment. We'd love to have you come meet all of our horses--we know that it will be worth your time. Just bring peppermints! |
