The Silver Buckle gaming series first show went well. Hopefully you all read the results and saw how well our local riders did.

Here is some great news about the arena that will be welcome information for horse gamers and those horse people that have a gate, so that you can practice for horse shows, gaming shows, or just ride out of the rain: We will be getting 30 yards of screened, fill dirt in the arena today (Thursday).

Mike Doan, our arena man from Long Beach, is planning on getting in there on Friday or Saturday, to start working on the arena. He plans to get rid of the hard clay at the far end near the horse barn, fill the low spot in the middle of the arena, and improve the entrance near the gate, at the far end.

This improved footing will help prevent horses slipping while taking tight turns while going around barrels and poles. It is also much better on the horses' legs.

A big thank you to Mike, Joe, and Patty for helping to bring this to fruition.

See you next month at the June show.
