From the Herd: Welcome Cactus!

Please welcome Cactus, the newest member of the Saddle Up! herd. Cactus is a liver chestnut Quarter Horse mare born in 2008 who came to us from an eventing barn where she was a lesson pony. While she can be sassy at times, she is fantastic at helping newly independent riders gain their confidence off-lead! Many thanks to sponsors Terry Klefstad, Cactus' former owner, and Janet Wilkins, who sponsors in honor of Stella and Piper Cagle and Khole Kirts.

SUPER Week is Coming Up
The Saddle Up! Phenomenal Equestrian Riders (SUPER) Week is our annual event where riders from Saddle Up! show off the skills they have learned in front of family and friends.

Instead of a one-day event, the 2021 SUPER Week will take place between November 8th and November 13th during regularly scheduled lesson times. During this week, Adaptive Riding and Alumni Transitions participants will have 3 patterns (dressage, trail, and equitation) to complete while their families watch. We will also honor riders who will be graduating this year. Please help us share their stories on social media.
