Read how the Wildcats won Champs
Possibly youve not seen the Stable View raised beds. Positioned at the side of the Pavilion, they're planted with tomatoes, strawberries, peppers and various herbs - Garden to Table at The Bistro.
This week sees the start of the New Arena irrigation - Big Gunsproject. It's planned to take a month.....we'll see! That's it for now.
Best wishes,
Barry
Valerie Cheatham is a frequent dressage competitor at Stable View. Valerie began riding at age nine after she saved all of her allowance for riding lessons. At only her second lesson she accidentally steered her horse over a jump and fell off. She didn’t let that discourage her from the sport, and by age eleven, she was cleaning stalls for a chance to ride. It was ten years later that she became hooked on dressage. Valerie shared, “My farrier had a Hannovarian and gave dressage
Master Chevrolet is a new Stable View sponsor. Those who have attended recent Stable View Horse Trials may have noticed their trucks throughout the property. At the Local Charities Horse Trial they sponsored two trucks in the Phillips Show Jumping Arena.
Master Chevrolet is a local, family-owned dealership that started as a service garage in 1934 called Master Auto Service. Wayne Morgan is the General Manager and is responsible for day-to-day operations. He said, “In 1937, we acquired the Pontiac franchise and began selling cars as well as servicing them. The GMC franchise was added in 1987 and Buick was added in 1999. In 2010, the Chevrolet brand was also added to our lineup, giving us a second location to serve our customers.”
In regards to the new sponsorship Wayne shared, “We just began our partnership with Stable View earlier this year and we are excited about the opportunity that it brings. We serve the same community and felt like it made perfect sense to partner with them. In addition to being part of the community for 88 years, we operate with a high standard of integrity. We truly believe in being transparent and honest with our customers. We are interested in long-term sales and service relationships with our customers, not one-time interactions.” Stable View looks forward to the continued sponsorship with Master Chevrolet.

Stable View has many Bluebird Boxes located around the property. Mark Pavlosky Jr. shared some updates on the boxes and birds. So far, it has been a strong season. Mark shared, “Of the 35 boxes installed, 34 currently have active nests. Three of those are being used by Chickadees, which is typical. The fist nestlings of each species hatched and were observed on April 15th.”
He has
boxes this Spring. However, Mark is still optimistic they haven’t abandoned it as they have used it consistently in years past. They will hopefully return soon.
Mark has also been monitoring the Red-Cockaded Wood Peckers (RCW). Mark shared, “None of the four clusters had eggs yet. Cluster 3, closest to the facilities, is showing the most promising activity so far with a well-prepped cavity that looks ready for nesting. I’m hopin to see signs of egg-laying there within the next week or two. As mentioned in last month’s report, Clusters 1 and 2 are still in the middle of group dynamic changes. That said, I’m still hopeful the females will pair up with a male early enough this season for breeding to occur.”
There will be three bands that perform throughout the afternoon and evening. Holler Choir kicks off the festival at 3pm.

They are followed by Aubrey Eisenman and The Clydes at 4:30pm. This band is comprised of Aubrey Eisenman on the upright bass and vocals, John Duncan on the fiddle, Justin Eisenman on the guitar and vocals, and James Kylen on the drums.
The final band is at 6pm with Songs from the Road Band. They are known for their compelling blend of Americana, roots, and folk music.
