We have had a nice and relaxing fall at S & L Stables with a couple of new students and progress on barn improvements (watering Systems).  Sheila received her USEF Western Dressage Large R judges license and continues work on her ADS Judge Applications.  We will have 1 more clinic with Irene Graves on Nov. 9th, 2024
