Winter is, in fact, coming, whether we like it or not. (And for the record, we don't.) But we are perfectly equipped to keep you and your horse advancing towards your 2021 goals in a safe, healthy and FUN way, with a huge range of options at all price points. Read on to learn more!

It's been one helluva year, and while our plans may have been waylaid, we made the most of our modified season. We've helped our students achieve their goals, from USDF Medals, Regional Championship titles, CDI wins, and most recently some year-end awards. Congratulations to Terrina Baker and Judy Sprieser for their horses successes in the CDCTA Year-End Awards!

It's been a fantastic year, and we're looking forward to maximizing our winter to come out strong in 2021. If you're looking for a world-class training opportunity, consider joining us for either a short- or long-term stay. Our clients advance up the levels in a fun and positive way, and are part of our warm family atmosphere.

As always, we offer full training board, but we're adding a part training option this winter. With Assistant Trainer Karrigan Norris (USDF Silver & Bronze Medalist) staying home to run the ship, you and your horse can advance through the winter at a range of price points. Training includes lessons and/or rides, full care without additional charges for blanketing and bandaging, and use of all our fantastic amenities.

Just looking for winter board? We're offering a limited number of board-only stalls, and would also love to work with a trainer on dry stalls. Our oversized indoor arena, covered exerciser, heated grooming bays and wash stalls, and all-weather turnout is ideal for enduring whatever Mother Nature throws our way.

But that's not the only way we're making it possible for you to keep rolling this winter! Read on to learn more.

For the first time, we'll be opening up our indoor arena for open schooling! Come ride in our oversized, lit, mirrored space with dust-free footing. And it couldn't be easier to sign up: register, pay and sign a waiver at Strider, and then sign up for a time on Time Center. Done!

Interested in teaching out of our arena? Let's talk! Email me to learn more.

CAMP IS BACK! Our wildly-popular Adult Winter Camps will be back on the docket one weekend a month in January, February and March. Dates are still coming, but keep an eye on our Facebook page for the scoop. And I will be returning home from Florida monthly as well for trailer-in lessons. You can sign up for those on Time Center today; the Winter Teaching Weekends with me are January 9-10, February 20-21, and March 13-14.

As usual, we are open for trailer-in folks, in the afternoons and evenings as usual. We're also delighted with the response to our always-wildly-popular Cavaletti Sundays! These fun lessons are suitable for all levels of education and experience, and are a fantastic complement to any dressage or event rider's typical training program. Assistant Trainer Karrigan will help challenge you and your horse while improving athletic performance, dexterity and strength. These fun lessons are every Sunday afternoon, and are PRIVATE lessons for only $45. Why pay more for less? Email Karrigan to learn more.

Last but not least, a few options for continuing your progress through the winter without ever leaving your own facility. I offer virtual lessons worldwide; all you need is a solid internet connection, a cell phone, a camera holder and a pair of wireless headphones. No fancy Pixem or Pivo required! (Though I teach on them, too, of course.) I have virtual students across North America! Email me to learn more.

And you can expand your education for just pennies a month by joining the Sprieser Sporthorse Elite Club. The SSHEC is a members-only experience for dressage enthusiasts, offering an all-access pass to the development of horses from foal to FEI! Join by January 1 at the Silver level or above and get a FREE video analysis of your riding! Head over to Strider to join.

We are all confident that we can help you and your horses advance safely and responsibly, and look forward to seeing you!

On behalf of everyone at Team Sprieser, we look forward to seeing you around the farm!

Sincerely,

Lauren Sprieser
