EVENTING ACADEMY Schooling Horse Trials
February 18th, 2024
welcome
Greetings,
When compared with last year, entries at this Eventing Academy (300) are up around 20% This follows other Academies where similar increases have been achieved. Bearing in mind that this weekend there's also a recognized HT at Jumping Branch (250), it would seem that Equestrian visitors to Aiken have again increased this year. My guess is that around 550 Eventing entries in Aiken over a weekend is a record. While the new arena will not be ready for this EA, it definitely will be for March. Why not come and be one of the first riders to use it? Here's looking forward to a great weekend of sport. 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.
