Oxbow Horse Farms Under Construction Again!

In order to better ourselves yet again, Oxbow is creating many more paddocks to provide more individualized turnout. We don’t know how we’d manage without all the help and support from family and friends. Thanks to everyone!

Sterling Cross Halloween Fun Show
October 2006

Oxbow Horse Farms was thrilled to be invited to participate. Sterling Cross, a neighboring barn here in Milan, planned the day full of fun games including flag races, rescue race and even musical stalls. The costume class was a favorite. Lucy Yurko dressed Sierra up as the pirate Jack Sparrow and herself as Elizabeth Swan . It was a blast! We can’t wait until next Halloween so we can do it all over again.


Honey Run Team Challenge

Jenny and Honkytonk Girl participated at Novice level in Tonka’s first event. It was a great day and although they didn’t bring home any ribbons Tonka went clear cross country and they came back to Oxbow happy and looking forward to next season.


Welcome Macarena Martinez!
October 2006

Our good friend Maqui from Uruguay has finally come to visit! After a long summer of waiting and planning Maqui has arrived to add some steam to our Western Program. She is very adept at all Western disciplines including Roping, Team Penning and barrels. She’s amazing!


Milan Moose Equestrian Extravaganza
September 2006

Combined with our local Moose Chapter, Oxbow Horse Farms had a wonderful time co-hosting this event. We teamed up with family and friends and provided face paintings, lead rope making, t-shirt designs, twine games and horse rides for the public! The most amazing part was the quadrille that our girls put on! Christina Silsby on Louis, Amanda Mayros on Karmia, Annie Taccolini on Skye, and Amber on Lady B put on an impressive show.


Summer Pony Camps

We enjoyed our summer pony camp with the kids. From feeding the horses to learning basic horsemanship skills everyone had a great time! We enjoyed our daily riding lessons and the horses loved their baths. The horse show conclusion was one of the best parts complete with ribbon laced manes, braided tails and fun awards!


New Fields

Over Memorial Day weekend, the Oxbow crew kicked off the summer
by erecting 8 acres of new turnout pasture! We also put up four
new hitching posts just for good measure.

 

 


New Outdoor Arena

We have just completed work on a beautiful new outdoor arena.
This will be the nexus of activity over the summer, just in time for
schooling, pony camp and summer lessons.

 

 


Nature's Fun Show

On June 9-11, Team Oxbow attended the
Nature's Last Stand Fun Show with nine students.
This was Erin, Rick, Quinn, and Kim's first show. And they all rode successfully, with plently of ribbons to decorate their bridles.
Annie and Lucy came in third and fourth, respectively, in intermediate jumping class. Chris overcame Louis' show-day
nerves to put him around two seperate jump courses.
Gigi placed second in her equitation class and Katarina went around the obstacle course with no fear.
