News
Lots going on at Merrychase!

Vicki and Stephen are here and hunting 3 days a week. They also finished the Orange County hunter pace and just had the best time.

Carol continues to have great success with Carribruaha (Bobbie) with 3 clear rounds at the famous Upperville Horse Show, training with Joe Fargis and Tommy Brawley. The pair had a great summer. They also won the the ridden Irish half breed class at Upperville in 2007 and placed second in the in hand class. So there were lots of celebrations.

Tank and Delilah

Gus was trial master for the New Old Dominion ride. Its new location is Orkney Springs, Virginia, 5 minutes from the Bryce resort. Gus put together a 100 mile trail, which was a great success. They ran a 100-mile, 50-mile and 25-mile endurance ride in June. A great weekend was had by all.

We have two new additions to Merrychase: Gladys Politis who Gus brought home from Aiken, South Carolina, a very sweet mountain fiest, and Tank Cherner a wonderful English bulldog.

Tank is really enjoying life here hanging out with the gang at the farm.
