Welcome Spring??!!  We still have a fair amount of snow and cold temperatures up on the hill.  I’m sure Spring will be here eventually in the usual New England way.  We are fortunate to have some wonderful additions to our Contry Hill group.  Carol Nelson and Keno joined us for the winter months and we have two new year round borders as well.  Linda Powers and Samuel and Pat LeGenc and Charlie.  Welcome! Our boarder Lynn Travers has finally found the horse of her dreams. After an exhaustive search for her future event horse Lynn now owns, ‘Wymsical Dancer’a 5 year old KWPN mare.  Congratulations Lynn!

Lucky riders got to experience the Tolt when Icelandics Stjarna and Blokk vacationed at Contry Hill Farm for two months while their owners Gabe and Lois d’Annunzio vacationed in the Carolinas.  We so enjoyed the horses they were totally huggable and fun to care for.

We are looking forward to hosting, ”A Dressage Day Benefit’ on June 1,2008.  The 4-H is planning an informative fun filled day in memory of our dear friend ‘Bonnie Palmisano’, who lost her long battle with Cancer last October.  The day will include dressage demonstrations, musical freestyles and three individual dressage sessions taught in a clinic format by our resident dressage trainer, 'Gayle Paquin'. Our friend and horse massage therapist, "Chris Chisolm will demonstrate, 'Muscles In Motion' on a horse and last but not least Pam Fleurant and her talented group of vaulters from 'Rennaissance Farm' will perform for us.  It should be a fun filled day for a good cause .  Please plan to join us. All proceeds from the event will go to Cancer research. Contact Janetbersani@hotmail.com for more information. The next weekend on June 7 we are hosting a ride-critique-ride. Sharon McCusker will be the clinician for the day. Contact us at contryhillfarm.com  for more information.  Sunday June 8 will be our second annual Open Farm Day.  This is a great opportunity to meet the staff and our wonderful lesson horses and ponies and get information about lessons and summer camp.  There will be food available and pony rides.
