We all survived the move from California and are finally getting settled in at our new home, Lim-Ber Farms here in Malin, Oregon.  Although the weather has been quite an experience for a California weather wimp, I’m enjoying the beautiful snow and learning a lot about thinsulate, goose down and polar fleece.  The horses love it here and Haley is using the cold weather as a good excuse to be silly.

Lim-Ber Farms is a great facility with a large indoor arena that we all appreciate when the snow falls.  There are indoor box stalls (including a double size mare and foal stall), outdoor pipe paddocks with shelters and lots of turn out, which my horses really enjoy.  They were not used to being turned out for most of the day, and it has made a positive change in their attitudes so I’m enjoying it too.  The arena footing is groomed regularly and there are jumps available so Haley can have a break from her dressage work.  We can also trail ride around the farm for a break from arena work.  As the ranch manager as well as resident trainer, I am excited to be able to offer individualized care for each boarder. Since all horses and owners are different, it’s great to be able to offer personalized programs designed especially for each one.

For a limited time, I am offering a get acquainted special on lessons and training.  Full training (including board) is only $600 per month and lessons are $35 for an hour.  I will also waive any mileage fees for clinics within a 50-mile radius of Malin.  Since this is for a limited time only, be sure to take advantage!  Haul-ins are welcome with a $10 haul-in fee.

Although I really miss all my wonderful friends and clients in California, I love living here in Malin.  It’s a great town with everything we need, including friendly, helpful people who are always willing to answer questions and pass the time of day.  Klamath Falls is only ½ hour away and offers the advantages of a big city with the atmosphere of a small town.  Best of all, the commute is very easy:  hardly any traffic and direct enough that even someone as directionally challenged as I am can’t get lost.

I love having visitors, so when you’re in the area give me a call and stop by.  The coffee pot (or tea pot) is always on!.
