New Stabling Complex.
Construction of a new stabling complex will start this winter. The
increasing difficulty of locating and renting temporary stabling at a
reasonable price was a big part of the decision to construct permanent
stalls. The new stabling area will be located next to the existing show
barn. It will house 80 stalls placed in four rows. The stall dividers will
be made of solid oak boards and the fronts will have metal mesh on the upper
part with metal stall guard doors. We hope to have this completed by the
first show in May.

Otter Creek to Host a CIC 1 &2 * May 16-18, 2008.
John Williams is the new course designer taking over after
Ritch Temple. John visited us in November and has made many changes to the
courses. You will now start next to the warm up area, and continue north to
the field by our house. Several new jumps will be constructed before the May
show. Many of you have asked if we can't use the jumping arena next to the
Pavilion for a warm up ring during dressage. We have decided to do this
provided we have enough people for a jump crew Friday afternoon. This will
give everyone a chance to warm up on the same footing as in the dressage
rings. Let us know if you can help us with this!

3 New Dressage Shows!
Dressage is on the calendar not just once but four times for 2008.
The May Flower I and May Flower II Shows, May 3-4 is your chance to ride in
two shows on one weekend. Many riders asked us for this and we are pleased
to provide you with a show format you asked for. Please remember to send us
an entry form for each show day. The August Otter Creek Dressage Fest
will take place the 16-17 with a schooling show on the 15th. The final show
for the season is on October 4-5 "Otter Creek Fall Fest". The new stabling
complex makes it possible for us to use the indoor arena for warm up. A big
plus in bad weather!
