S & L Stables with the help of Blazing Saddles 4-H Club held their first camp this week in the cooler morning air for Beginner Students with Developmental Disabilities. We had 5 students ranging in age from 13-45 paired with our wonderful miniature equine. The students learned how to groom, lead and work with their very small equine, played games such as pole bending, barrel racing and trail obstacles all in hand with their equine partners. It was very rewarding to see the growth of the students relationships with their 4-H mentors and equine partners. A huge success for all involved. We look forward to the next one in July.
This past weekend, we participated in the Oklahoma Cowboy CDE in Stillwater, OK with our Pony Pair - Sunny and Bullet. My son - Alex Scheideler was able to join the team as our navigator and groom which was a big help as it is a HUGE endeavor to do a CDE. Combined driving events are like Eventing - 3 phases - dressage, cones and marathon. The marathon was 3 miles long with 5 gated obstacles, and very challenging as there was ankle deep mud for part of the trail and many tricky turns in the obstacles. Our team persevered through it all and won the Blue Ribbon. We could not be happier as they did not stumble or falter once. A successful weekend for S and L Stables. Much thanks to Lyle
