DEDICATION

It’s about making decisions, following through, and always meaning AND doing what you say.  When you make a commitment, you must follow through, as that shows TRUE DEDICATION. 

BE IT, SAY IT, DO IT, BE DEDICATED!

Cheryl said she’d shave her head if she had students qualify in the Medals class at the Morgan Nationals.  She got her wish (and so did the students)!  Be careful what you wish for!

We have been making several improvements to the facility. The signs at the front entrance have been upgraded, four new dry lots have been added. There are fresh coats of paint on all the outside arenas and round pens, as well as the front gates and fence, and all doorways to the barn. We are still currently painting the outside tack buildings and the older dry lots. All of our older riding helmets have been replaced and we are continually trying to upgrade our lesson tack.
 
 

New additons:

  • A new large turnout pen next to the pasture. Customers can now turn out and supervise their horse in a larger grazing area.
  • A new shavings storage bin is being built.
  • A new storage area is located just inside the pasture gate. All storage bins and fuel tanks have been moved away from the new dry lots.
 
 
We are a work in progress, so stay tuned as we strive to continually make improvements to make WRA the best horse facility in Sedgwick county!
