Great Weekend for Southwind Riders!

Good Morning!

This past weekend several members of Southwind went out to compete at the Seneca Valley Pony Club Starter Trials! Everyone did very well including Sheri's newest project, Biricchino (aka "B"). This was not only his first event ever, but he has only been off the racetrack a few months! Sheri said he earned a few 8's in dressage and although a little sloppy in show jumping, he went around cross-country quietly and confidently to finish in 5th place. Way to go Sheri & B!

Boarder Holly and her mare Clementine also went out to compete and did very well finishing in 2nd place! 

Another boarder Lisa Dehart Austin took her horse, CMA Lookindownthebarrel as well and finished in 1st place! Way to go! 

Here is a great shot of the group with groom & supporter Lauren Carey (who was a big part in the day- thank you Lauren!) and of course Spike!

Fun weekend

Good morning!

Not a whole lot going on with the farm this past weekend to share. Southwind's owner, Sheri, had her two daughters in town and word on the street says they made some delicious apple cider!!

Don't forget that Southwind is still seeking a full-time barn manager. Duties would be to oversee and help with daily barn chores, interact with boarders, take care of horses, arenas, property, and some spoiled barn cats. This is a great opportunity for someone that is reliable. organized, and willing to work. We would love someone with ability to service equipment, build fence, run tractors, etc but that's not critical. Housing and horse board possible for the right person as well.

Speaking of boarding... we only have a few spots left before we fill up for winter! If you are looking for somewhere new to board this winter with access to an indoor arena be sure to come check us out! Contact Sheri today to set up your appointment: (301) 253-9417 OR sherithornley@msn.com

Help Wanted at Southwind Farm!!

Good Morning everyone!!

Southwind is seeking a full-time barn manager. Duties would be to oversee and help with daily barn chores, interact with boarders, take care of horses, arenas, property, and some spoiled barn cats. This is a great opportunity for someone that is reliable. organized, and willing to work. We would love someone with ability to service equipment, build fence, run tractors, etc but that's not critical. Housing and horse board possible for the right person as well.

From Sheri, Southwind's owner: I need a working manager...someone that can so some barn chores plus keep our awesome routine running on a daily basis. Involves being able to think ahead, multitasking, dealing with boarders, and being very aware of what's going on in the barn. Not hard if you are used to dealing with people, the horses are the easy part! One of the tasks is to dump and fill the water buckets every day...a tedious time consuming task, but it has to be done. You would help with turning in and out, feeding/throwing hay, feeding the outside horses, then a few odd chores. Would also be great if you could help drag arenas and sometimes mow fields. If you are interested I'd love to meet you! I can offer a salary that includes housing and utilities, and board for a horse. Let me know if you think you might fit into that spot. Check out the website www.southwindfarminc.com it is a beautiful farm with great people and a great opportunity for the right person. Thanks!
