Mission statement: Aiken Ladies
Aside is an educational organization designed to promote riding
side saddle and to provide opportunities to learn to ride and to
learn the traditions and elegance of another era.
February
2011
The holidays are finally over, we have
weathered some of the coldest Aiken weather in history, and now
anxiously await warmer sunny days, longer hours of daylight filled
with lots of riding! Presently, we are busy preparing for the AHS
Show in the Woods…
www.AikenHorseShow.org.
Every Friday in March we will have sidesaddle practice at
Ann Lawhorne’s, Cold
Comfort Farm at
12:30. We'd love to see everyone there, aside or astride;
you can contact Ann for timetable & more information about her
group lesson program which usually follows the side saddle
practice. Great news this year is that we are even expecting some
ladies from Camden, SC to participate! It would be lovely to
have an ALA tailgate after the sidesaddle classes on that Saturday
as we should finish up probably close to lunchtime anyway. Lets
discuss more at our general meeting for input.
Mark your calendars because the
next general meeting will be held
on Thursday March 24th at Marias on Pine Log Rd at
7pm; dutch treat… hope to see you all there for sharing of
ideas, great food and friendship!
We are also hoping to have Kit
Roszko back in May for another side saddle clinic; in spite of the
windy & cold weather - the last one was indeed a great success
with positive feedback from the riders. If there is a member who
would like to take on organizing it, we would offer them a free
spot in the clinic!
Kathy
Reynolds has graciously invited us back for another trail ride in
the Camden
hunt territory. Stay tuned for dates & times; we are estimating
this to be sometime also in May.
Presently
looking into riding at the Broxton Bridge Plantation (one of Low
Country Hunts Fixtures); hope to get a trail ride organized for
all to enjoy this Spring before the weather gets too hot. Any
further ideas for trail rides & there corresponding locations are
greatly appreciated!
Live to
Ride, Ride to Live & hope to see everyone
on March 24th at Marias 7pm!
