Alpharetta, GA USA, April 15, 2001
Girl Scout Troop 865 made a field trip to Applewood in March.
They learned grooming and basic horsemanship skills. They also
practiced nose patting and carrot feeding techniques. After a
picnic lunch they all got souvenir horse shoes. We hope they
come back to see us again.
Grooming Guinness...
Official Girl Scout lucky horse
shoes...
We had a great group of winter boarders this year while the
training horses were in Wellington, Florida for the winter show
season. April 1 they packed up and moved out to make room for
the horses returning from Florida. After 3 years of drought, we
finally have had normal rains this Spring. The trees and
pastures are finally getting the water they have needed.
Greener pastures...

Michelle Gibson and her crew rolled
back into Applewood April 3. We are so excited to have her, her
assistants, and the training horses back. It was like shifting
from idle to full throttle as they unpacked and immediately
started the busy training schedule. We had been working for
weeks to be ready for them.
Happy to be back!
First off, the heavy tack
trunks...
Horses happy to be home, too.
