Mud season has been spectacular this spring, and this week promises more rain.  Even so, the temperatures (the meteorologists promise) will be warmer, and the sun will come out.  The horses are happy to take of their winter blankets and are eager to eat the spring grass in the fields.  There's much spring cleaning to do and are grateful for the volunteer groups coming to help out.  We're looking forward to having a Girl Scout troop come help blaze a new trail for riders and a school group to clean and freshen up the dome.  Happy Spring!

And we have Ariel Huffman who has joined the team as our lead instructor!  Ariel is pictured here with her horse, Kamal, who will be joining the herd shortly.  During her first two weeks here, Ariel has met and worked with students and horses alike.  She has a discerning eye, good discipline and gentle, but firm technique.  BITS is fortunate to have connected with her and we look forward to a fun and productive future.  Welcome aboard, Ariel!

How quickly time flies!  So much as happened this summer, it's hard to know where to begin.  Our herd has been undergoing a number of changes, and if you've been following us on Facebook (LIKE US!), you've seen our two new horses, Rosie and Mikey.  Rosie is a beautiful quarter horse who enjoys playing with a giant ball with her little students.  She has settled in quite nicely and seems quite content knowing that all the guys like her.  Mikey is our appaloosa draft horse who's also enjoying his new digs.  He's the youngster of the herd - 6 years old!  We hope he has many, many enjoyable years here at BITS
