Despite the soaring temperatures, riders of all ages, disciplines and levels gathered at Hoofer Equestrian Center July 22nd - 24th to participate in the Melanie Michalak Musical Freestyle Dressage Clinic. Auditors too braved the heat to watch the riders have a lesson with Melanie and then ride through custom-made musical freestyles, some that were designed for international competitors and won awards!

Members of Hoofer Riding Club have had the privilege of knowing dozens and dozens of horses over the past 72 years. These horses comfort us, challenge us, help us learn and understand ourselves better, and become our friends and companions. As our current herd helps us through beautiful summer lessons and the upcoming busy fall season, take time, if you can, to appreciate them, give them a good scratch and spend time with your favorite horse whenever you can.

It ended up being a great day for the Hunter/Jumper portion of our first Schooling Show of the season. Thank you for not raining, Wisconsin!  We did take some photos of the riders at the show, which will be posted at our Facebook photo site, so please visit to check out your photos.

Saturday morning bloomed bright and balmy for March, as the dressage arena was set up in the indoor in preparation for the Nicole Trapp Dressage Clinic.  Participants cleaned up muddy horses and blew the dust off their show clothes as the clinic started early Saturday and the judge, Nicole, took careful notes and gave lengthy feedback to riders.
