Legendary Trail Guru Tim Kimura made his 3rd trip to Horse Creek Farm during May 2013. For those of you who haven’t heard of Tim, he’s the leading Trail course designer in the world. Additionally, he’s an absolutely amazing clinician, and we’re so lucky to have him at Horse Creek Farm.
He’s dubbed the “Man of Trail” – although we’ve now nicknamed him the “Minister of Trail” because he is just such a great person to learn from. It doesn’t matter to Tim whether it is the first time you’ve ever seen a trail course, or whether you are a seasoned competitor, his tips and teaching encompasses all levels. He’s genuinely very interested in teaching trail techniques to anyone who’s interested.
When talking to Tim, you can tell how passionate he is about the grass roots of trail, he says that we always need to be encouraging people to start working on what he thinks is the best western class,
The feedback we’ve got from this year’s participants has been great, and we’re already planning for him to come back next year.
We were thrilled to welcome back the AQHA UK Spring Show over the May bank holiday weekend.
We had a fabulous time at the Fenland and SQH AQHA Novice and All Breed Show, a full report, photos and results can be viewed on the Fenland website 
Get in quick guys! We’ve got a waiting list for our popular June Camp and the AQHA Horsemanship Camp one is normally even more popular! We’ve got certain number of places available, and then will have a wait list, so get your deposit bookings in asap!
Do you? Well… one lucky person WILL win a week long holiday to the famous TX Ranch in Montana!
Great time at the show on Sunday 10th March, chilly start to the day, but although it seemed all areas around us were covered in snow, the “tropical” Fens remained snow free, albeit a bit chilly!
Like many people of my age (sorry, you’ll have to guess ‘cos I’m not telling), I was bought up on a diet of TV westerns; Roy Rogers is the earliest memory and the Virginian remains a firm favourite. So its not surprising that even though I was a keen English rider and had owned my own horses I still felt that I was missing something. After a riding break of about 15 years I saw David and Sarah Deptford giving a western demonstration at the Game Fair, Blenheim. I immediately knew that I had found the missing factor and I had to start riding again and I had to ride western.
Do you get the American Journal? Well it came through our letter box the other day, and guess what? Snipper has a two page article about his AQHA Champion Award! You know we said we were proud? Well, we’re even more proud now. He’s such a legend.
I came to SQH as a potential client in July 2007 with a desire to buy a Quarter Horse. Very early on it was very apparent to me that David would have my best interests in mind and he would only sell a horse he believed would suit. As someone who had never owned a horse before this was a massive confidence booster.
