Horseshowing Outdoors in February and You aren’t in Florida – Are You Crazy?

Speakeasy feb 15 005 (WinCE)How many of you stop horseshowing for the winer because you can't afford to go to Florida or can't justify the time away from your jobs to take 2 months off and go to Florida?  Maybe your horses aren't ready to go to the indoor winter A shows in other parts of the country so you are forced to stop showing for the winter.  Then you start back at the schooling shows in the spring and spend March and April trying to catch up to the horses that have been showing all winter.  In Charlottesville and Central Virginia we have been able to ride and horseshow outside all winter.

Of course, there have been days when the temperature did not rise enough for the ring to thaw, but most of the winter we have been able to ride outdoors.  Today Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center took two sales horses to the horseshow at Speakeasy Farm.  After a week of temps in the 60's the 48 degree weather felt a little cool, but the sun was warm, the footing was good and these young horses were able to progress and get some good mileage. 

If you are looking for a good area to relocate you farm to, consider the Charlottesville, Virginia horse country where you can ride year round without needing to have an indoor. A Charlottesville horse farm may be the perfect choice.

Fall in Virginia Can Be a Time For New Beginnings

As we make our way through October the 2008 horseshow season is winding down.  In November horsemen will enjoy a few weekends of down time before the 2009 season starts at the beginning of December.  This is often a season to say goodby to the good mount that has safely carried you through several years of showing.   Ponies are sadly out grown or a rider is ready to move on to a more challenging partner allowing them to progress to the next level.  This break between seasons becomes the perfect time to go horseshopping.

Charlottesville, Virginia and Albemarle County are located in the heart of the Central Virginia horse country.  Due to the large number of stables in the area, Albemarle horse country becomes a popular horse shopping destination.  In addition fall is the optimum time to come to Virginia and shop for the perfect Charlottesville horse farm; plus you can enjoy the spectacular fall foliage at the same time.  Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa and Orange Counties all have a selection of beautiful horse farms on the market for your inspection.

Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center is has three more horseshow weekends left on its 2008 show schedule.  The Shadowfax horses and riders under the instruction of Baily Dent have enjoyed a most successful horseshow season.  If you would like to have your  horse nearby, but do not wish to have your own farm, it makes sense to consider a move to Glenmore or one of the other area equestrian communities.

Come to Charlottesville in the fall to enjoy the spectacular scenery and search for your next horse or the perfect Albemarle County horse property.

Enjoy the Trails at Glenmore

P1010049 (Small) The extensive system of walking and riding trails is a key feature that sets the Glenmore neighborhood appart.  Glenmore is a gated community located in the beautiful Keswick countryside just east of Charlottesville, Virginia.  The neighborhood has the usual amenities of country club, golf course, pool, tennis and fitness center.  However, it is the dedication to providing numerous opportunities to enjoy the countryside outside of the residential areas, but still inside the gates that sets this community appart.

Glenmore currently has 8.5 miles of trails, which is slated to grow to almost 13 miles by 2012.  These trails are enjoyed by walkers, joggers, photographers, birdwatchers and equestrians from the adjoining Glenmore Equestrian Center, managed by Shadowfax LLC.  Maintaining the trails has been a tru community effort with more that 50 volunteers participating in the upkeep of the existing trails and the opening of new areas.

It is very special to have so much access to nature, yet be a few minutes away from Charlottesville.  Please contact me if you would like a tour of Glenmore, to see how you could experience the Glenmore Lifestyle.

Shadowfax Riders in the Glenmore Parade

This post is a little belated, but I just got the pictures and I wanted to share the fun.

What to do when a gaggle of geese is too many

At J0262752my daughter"s horse barn, Shadowfax LLC at the Glenmore Equestrian Center, we wage an ongoing battle with geese.  Many other farms in Charlottesville and all over Albemarle County are having the same problem.  I remember as a child watching v shaped formations of geese fly over in the fall on the way to their winter nesting grounds.  Now flocks of geese make their home in central Virginia year round.

Most people are aware of the problems that golf courses and homeowners associations have discouraging the goose population, but farmers are faced with the problem as well.  The numbers of Canada geese have increased all over the United States.  Not only are they protected by laws but also in most areas there is a lack of natural predators.  People understand the problem of goose poop on the golf course, but don’t realize the destruction that a large goose population can cause on a farm.  A simgle goose can eat as much as 5 pounds of grass a day.  Image what a sizeable flock can do to horse pastures and grazing land.  Also geese can foul the water in the ponds where the horses and cattle need to drink.

Due to the fact that the geese are a protected species farmers are not allowed to shoot them.  One solution is to use a dog such as a border collie to chase the geese off of the property.  Some farmers also shoot over the geese to make them decide that a pond in another area would be a better choice for a home.

Another theory is that geese are not comfortable in tall grass since a predator mght be lurking unseen.  Geese also prefer to eat the tender young shoots of grass rather than the tougher taller strands.  Unfortunately it is an essential part of pasture management when maintaining fields for grazing to keep them bushhogged.  However, there is the option of leaving a barrier of tall grasses around ponds.  The grasses will block the goose’s view from the pond, and they will not feel safe there since they cannot see approaching predators.  With a little luck the geese may decide to relocate.

Whichever approach you decide upon it will require constant vigilance since geese tend to be very persistent.
