EVENTING ACADEMY Schooling Horse Trials

February 20, 2022

welcome D ear friends, Carrying on the theme from this week’s Early Insights, we’d like to welcome you to Stable View today with the knowledge that in terms of Eventing, you had a choice.

Seeing close to record entries is a testimony to our Volunteers, Officials, and our Colleagues who assist in putting on the Eventing Academy series.

To the Riders, Grooms and Owners, we’d also like to express our thanks.

We have a number of new projects taking place at Stable View: We have ordered custom cross country jumps for our April 4* event. These are miniature versions of the Main Barn, East Barn, Kennels, and The Pavilion.

We are also working on a golf cart path along the perimeter of our two cross country courses that will make it easier for spectators to follow along.

Also for the first time, we will be offering Tailgating at the 4*.

We have been irrigating the cross country course 24/7 in advance of this weekend, and expect it to produce comfortable turf.

“Constant Improvement” is the motto!!!

With best wishes, 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 ten (six adults and four juveniles)!

Additionally, by increasing our number of nest boxes we have helped many of our feathered friends thrive: this year, we have fledged 200+ Eastern Bluebirds (an increase of 50% compared to last year); 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.
