Her Name: Danielle Durette

Her Qualifications: Well, where to begin?  She has a degree in Equine Science from Colorado State University.  She has competed on a national level, and did it well.  She has a B rating in the USPC.  She is excited about teaching our students, training horses and competing as well.  She is bringing her TB pictured here and her, in training, Friesian with her.  I am posting this picture of her and Bailey because it resembles our logo.  Can't wait for you all to meet her and for her to meet you!

 We are also, talking to another great possible candidate to add to our family as a working student.  Again, many thanks to Will Montgomery and Alexis Pannell who have been so helpful to us during our search!

 Ansley and Magnum.  Ansley was offered the opportunity to ride 3 different horses.  Here she is pictured on her horse Magnum.  Ansley is so brave and look out for this little one.. She is going to be ready to jump in no time.  The Caldwell Family is always the first one to step up to volunteer and "be there" whenever BEC has a need!  

 You are not seeing things!  This is Pep In His Step aka Pepper.... rocking the cross rails!  Pepper, from the time we pulled him out his stall early yesterday morning and put on the shipping boots, had his "game face" on.  He was a dream and a trooper.  Megan spent about 5 1/2 hours on his back.. and he did his thing like a show veteran.  Megan did a awesome job!  Special props to Rick... who was a great "line man"... and Wow, Rick... you are really learning.  Megan, you did a beautiful job.  We are so proud of you!

 Here is Chandler and Jungle Boogie... aka Boogie. He is such a sweet champ and Chandler's confidence has grown tremendously.  We have to give Alexis Pannell credit for that, she doesn't take any of Chandler's excuses!  Chandler and Boogie were all over Cedar Wind Farms yesterday and learned so much from Mrs. Evie, her staff and Will.

It was a beautiful day...the rain held off and I hope all of you get to experience the beauty of CWF one day too.  Beautiful and generous people... stunning grounds, top rate facility.  

Here is a link to more pictures... I'll post more, but, Ms. Kim is exhausted!

That's right... 3 of our students/Pony Clubbers and 3 of our horses went to Oxford, Mississippi yesterday.  Three special young ladies that have never been anywhere but, here at BEC.. made their first road trip for a PRICELESS OPPORTUNITY!!!!!  Day long opportunities to learn from the best instructors and trainers in North Mississippi.  Mrs. Evis is a legend and Will Montgomery... was undistructible and they both worked so hard to help our students and our horses.  Our students were able to make deeper friendships with othe Pony Clubbers from the area.. and are so excited about what is in store for them and can't wait to ride with their new friends again and again!...

We are so blessed to be a part of Southern Run Riders Pony Club!

 Callie is PREGNANT!  Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this time.  There are so many people to thank: Sarah, the stud owner, her vet, Dr. Lamb and his wonderful staff.  The wonderful staff and students who have loved and nurtured Callie during this process.  We will have our baby mid June 2010.  We'll be having "foal watch" sleepovers.

 Ready for school?  Well we are, we've been missing some of y'all as y'all have been getting in that "last of Summer" vacations.  

The United States Pony Club...wow.. I know that there is great interest in this as well.  We have 5 students that are joining September 1st to take advantage of the great dues and fee rates.  Chandler is already a member and will be going for her D1 in Hernando on September 20.  We are going and want to extend a invitation to all to join with us on the road trip and for a look see at what you will be going for in late October as we'll have a rating, by our own Alexis Pannel (who is a C2 and is also doing the ratings in September).  All of current PC signees can be and should be ready for their D1 if we start studying now!

 I want to encourage all parents to contact our DC David Bray, who you all met here in July to make sure all of your forms and fees are in to meet the September 1, deadline.  David's email is:  dgbray@comcast.net.  

I also encourage you to download and print out forms/study guides regarding D level:

 Information on ordering the correct handbook for D level training...

We do have a copy in the barn office.  We ordered ours way back when from Barnes and Nobles and they called us when it was in.  The title of the book is:

"The United States Pony Club Manual of Horsemanship"  Basics for Beginners, D Level"

I have a lot more pictures to upload and put on the website!  We are all very excited about the Fall season and what we have upcoming!

We are achieving one of our goals by offering the Tupelo area a chapter of the USPC.  We will be joining with 2 other facilities, one in Oxford and one in Hernando, MS.  We will be a division of the "Southern Run Riders."

 This is going to open up so many additional opportunities and adventures for any of our students that wish to participate. 

 We will know more in the next few days and will keep you updated.  But, we do have a meeting scheduled for July 11th.  This will be an unmounted meeting and a meet and greet.  Students/members from the two other clubs will be coming to BEC as well. 

Chandler is already a member of the USPC and we have several publications and other PC things we can show you in the barn office.  Heather can always answer any questions you may have about the USPC. 

 I encourage everyone to come to the July 11th meeting, time to be determined, and see what is available.
