The semester got off to a busy start. There are so many orientation activities to attend and so much planning to do that the days fly by. This year we had a full day for Rider Placement which meant that we were less rushed than usual and with around 80 people to see ride we were very thankful for that! Convocation and the President’s picnic were on the Thursday of orientation week and on the Friday we hosted the first annual tailgate party at the equestrian center for staff and faculty. We really enjoyed meeting our colleagues and showing them around the equestrian center without the pressure of a horse show or other event.
Barn orientation was Sunday afternoon where we showed the incoming students where to find everything at the barn and we all enjoyed ice cream treats served up by the instructors. Classes started last Tuesday followed by Equestrian Fair on Friday where we started another new tradition with our first annual program picture (see below). Riding lessons started today which is a highlight for everyone. Personally, I really enjoyed my first lesson this morning using some of the ideas I learned this summer from various people.
