Roger Cleverly: Equestrian Training

Hi, folks. Sorry to advise that on Monday evening, Roger had a stroke, followed by a heart attack. He is out of ICU, but not in good shape.
I am trying to get my ducks in a row. If you wish to make contact, please text or call 925-890-6498, or email [email protected].
Thank you for your understanding.

DRIVING PLAY DAY AT THE OLD THUNDERBIRD RANCH NEAR CLOVIS ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 IS CANCELLED.

There has been insufficient response for northern CA drivers, so the Play Day scheduled for Saturday, September 25 is canceled. Looks like many are still wary of very high temperatures.

We have another Play Day scheduled for Saturday, October 23, at the same location. Look out for details in your email In Boxes.

Organizer, Robyn Guarnelli [415-335-2661] is interested in hearing from any individual or group who can help her promote events at TBR.

We have a Play Day scheduled for Saturday, September 4. Gates open at 8:30 AM.

The featured event will be a Reverse Psychology cones course, ten gates driven in order 1 - 10, turn round a marker and drive the course in reverse direction, 10 - 1.

Charge will be $20:00 per driver taking part and turnouts may be shared with the agreement of the owner.

Temperatures will be quite pleasant and we have been in low levels of air pollution for the last few days.

From 2017 to 2019, we had the American Shetland mare, Skye, in for stages of driving training. She was then sold to Robin DeLong from Oregon. This week, they have been at the Western Idaho Fair, and here are some pictures from Robin. They won an award in the freestyle to music class, driving to music from the Lion King and Skye dressed as a Zebra. That little mare has come a long way from the spooky filly that arrived in 2017.

Our next Play Day is on Saturday, August 7, featuring a Pick Your Own Line course laid out on the dressage court. 16 gates with plenty of space between them and more options in choosing a route. To beat the heat, we will open the gates at 7:30 AM for early arrivals. Those who wish to come later in the morning are welcome to do so.

The charge is $20:00 per driver taking part, and turnouts may be shared, with the agreement of the owner.

We will be holding our delayed July Play Day on Saturday, July 17. Morning low temperature will be around 58 degrees and by 12 noon it should be in the mid 80s. Much better than last week!

To help folks who want to avoid the worst of the heat, we will open the gates at 7:30 AM. Those who prefer to come at the normal time are welcome to join in when they arrive.

The featured event will be a British style Scurry, laid out on the dressage court. More gates and more chances to get lost.

Charge will be $20:00 per driver taking part and turnouts may be shared with the agreement of the owner{s}.
