Horsefeathers: October 2025

Lisa Everett, Director of Operations • October 22, 2025

Our Equestrian Team celebrates a successful gymkhana, new staff and boarders, and facility improvements as they prepare for the rainy season.

Our Equestrian Team has been working diligently this month, maintaining the facilities in top condition and preparing for the upcoming rainy season. We’re excited to share that two additional staff members will be joining our team soon, allowing us to be fully staffed and ready for the months ahead.


The gymkhana was a great success, bringing energy and families back to our arenas. We’re already looking forward to the next event on Saturday, November 8. Click here to view the event flyer. We’re also pleased to welcome several new boarders to our facility offices. It’s wonderful to see our community continue to grow.


At Casey Tibbs, Arena 1 has undergone improvements, including the installation of new panels, the addition of rock to enhance drainage, and the application of fresh sand to improve footing. Despite recent staffing challenges, our team has worked diligently to maintain the arenas and keep manure and compost areas well-managed.



Finally, as the rainy season approaches, our crew will be out throughout November preparing the facilities to ensure they remain safe, functional, and enjoyable for all riders.
