improvements. The property is fenced and cross fenced with 5 foot tall
doweled round pole fence. We have many jumps and are planning several
cross country jumps as well. We have a PVC Dressage Arena from
Premiere Equestrian
set up on some great Bermuda grass turf. Rick built a two story 12 x 24
air conditioned tack room and most recently a concrete covered wash rack. There is ample room to ride and it is only a short
distance to the Mississippi river where long levee rides are possible.

close. Click

on something similar called River Road Round-Up. We packed up

competition so we have. Thanks to everyone for their effort in putting on a
fun event. The pictures are posted in the photography section. |

make our first RLEC Combined Training Show such a great success.

10/14 - Wow what a weekend! The
only thing that would have made it better is a win by LSU, however we
have a pretty good time with our show anyway. Thanks to all the
competitors, sponsors, volunteers, and BREC for making the Combined Training
Show
and Cross Country Schooling Day such a success. We're already
planning bigger and better for next time. Look on our Photography
page for the results and pictures from the event. |
