USEF/USEA “AIKEN OPENER” HORSE TRIALS

January 19, 20 & 21, 2024

welcome

Greetings,

Here we are again at the beginning of a new Stable View recognized eventing year.

This Date seems to be associated with weather......snow, ice, and now deep freeze!

bad

First, we'd like to thank those of you who volunteered for dressage on Friday for your flexibility - we really don't know what we could have done without you.

Over 300 entries show the level of support that there is for your sport, Aiken, and for Stable View. From our point of view, we would like to thank you.

As you compete in the tundra, we wish you all the best for a safe and successful weekend.

With best wishes from the Stable View Team.

A BIRDER'S PARADISE

FREE TO BEE Having started in early spring with five nucleus colonies (also known as "nucs") from a local bee supplier, Stable View's bees have grown to eleven, almost twelve, hives with healthy queens. Over the summer, we have supported the bees' efforts to build up and prepare for winter.

Our goal is to contribute to healthy pollinators in our area, and share the sweet fruits of their labor!

This time last year, Stable View had one resident Red-Cockaded Woodpecker. Today, we have sixteen! Additionally, by increasing our number of nest boxes we have helped many of our feathered friends thrive: this year, we have fledged 550+ Eastern Bluebirds; a pair of Eastern Screech Owls fledged two young; and the American Kestrels fledged all five nestlings from the same nest box as in previous years.

According to our expert, Mark Pavlosky of MPJ Wildlife, we expect to observe many migrant species working their way South early this fall.

We look forward to hosting bird watchers who wish to view native, rare, or endangered species on their lists!

HISTORICALLY, "A GATHERING PLACE" Set out afoot–or ahoof–on our 15 miles of marked trails, each named in honor of local Native American tribes, where you may see evidence of our prescribed fires, which increase plant diversity, perpetuate endangered species, allow wildlife easier access to food sources, restore nutrients back into the soil, and reduce the risk of wildfires.
