Flying Duchess Ranch

Hi everyone! Not everyone that registered for the archery clinic responded to emails and some were no-shows. For those of you signed up for the riding clinic this weekend please check your junk mail folders!

The first competition of the season was wonderful! What was first going to be a large group ended up much smaller due to horse injuries, people injuries, scheduling conflicts, etc. Despite everything we had beautiful weather, amazing horses, and archers did well. Some even had new personal bests! What a great way to start the season. Thank you all who came to compete and support.

Final results:
Jorge Meza on Buda with 133
Katie Stearns on Ayla with 125.12 (and 100.77 fast horse on Drogo)
Lia Blackett on Bronte with 92.30

We had two of our youths attempt their competition licenses and they were both so very close! We will keep training, and try again soon. They can definitely do it, but the pressure of needing a specific score is difficult to overcome. So proud of their attempts, and we have a few more youths close behind them! We will likely be adding some more competitors very soon.

Looking forward to another season of equestrian archery here at the Flying Duchess Ranch!

Thank you Eric Leung for the group and individual photos.

Having fun at the c**t starting clinic! Days one and two down, one more to go. Some even got first steps under saddle today 💜

We managed to have the Feb WE clinic here at the ranch instead of at the indoor arena because the weather was glorious! That also meant we were able to set up more obstacles :)
