Almost all of the jumps have made it to the farm and are now sitting pretty in the jump field. We have a new grooming stall/tack up area up, and are hoping to start the big tack room soon! The new pasture has been measured out now, and electric fencing work will commence soon! New pastures and more boarding should be available end of April!

Stay tuned to the site as some clinics and shows are in the works to be hosted at JDV sometime late summer-fall! Oh and of course the long awaited grand opening party to also commence end of April!

Lessons will resume this weekend, and new students are able to start Valentines weekend! The other pastures will not be ready until end of March, but we are taking reservations for new boarders. We've had lots of calls for board, and will fill up fast! So get in early! Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement through this transition! Seems like things have been crazy, but were getting there!

12/29 - We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and we are looking forward to the new year! Coming this weekend will be the round pen, jumping field, and dressage arena will finally be put up. The second pasture will be subdivided by the end of the month with a bit of luck... and February is planned to start the tack room/grooming stall. We hope everyone has a fun and safe New Years! See you in 2009!
