Poetka's Retirement Party & Celebration

On Saturday, May 24th we will be honoring several of our horses at the prestigous Pacific Slopes Arabian Show in Santa Barbara, Ca. All of the girls are invited to attend and participate in this momentous occasion.

All children that ride with us our welcome to attend and be a part of this special celebration! We will be featured in the main equidome following the morning classes on Saturday. The girls will be able to ride their horses into the ring for the ceremony and pictures.

Following our presentation, the girls will help serve ice cream to the entire show at the traditional "Ice Cream Social". This is a huge honor to be included in this show which is one of California's oldest Arabian traditions.

Our presentation will include:

Our beloved Poetka VF +// will be honored for her Legion of Merit in the show ring and also "officially" retired in a beautiful ceremony. She will be wearing a blanket of rainbow roses into the ring and joined by her young friends on horses.

JV Sonnet+// will also be honored for her Legion of Merit and will be presented by best friend Ashley Lane. This is especially sentimental this year after almost losing her to colic in march - we are truly blessed to present this Nationally-decorated mare.


Khlassy Lass+ (Gracie Rose) will also be presented and honored for earning her Legion of Honor. Gracie is a treasure in our hearts and our barns! At 24 she is still our best liberty horse!

RTO Fantastiko+ will also be presented and recognized for his work in the show ring and his Legion of Honor. There is no gelding that deserves this more than our Tiko!


Many of our other beautiful horses will join in the presentation and will be presented with garlands marking the occassion!
