Spring Semester Begins!

School started yesterday it is great to have the students back after what seems like an extra long Christmas break. Riding lessons start tomorrow which is really early, but necessary to accommodate all the end of year championships in April.

I started teaching my first online class Tuesday - Stable Mgt One. It is the same as the classroom version just online. Online is a totally different teaching environment with different challenges and tons of attention to detail. All SAPC online classes are in an 8 week format with a company called Learning House so it will go a lot faster than in the classroom. In D2 Pebbles takes Principals and Concepts online - she is busy preparing it right now as well.

Our wonderful dressage horse, Leggs, had colic surgery last night at NC State. He had an intestinal displacement and a lot of gas. The prognosis right now appears to be pretty good. Please say a prayer for his speedy and uncomplicated recovery. He is such a wonderful horse and teacher for our program but had a really tough life before coming to SAPC.
