Bonnie Announces 2010 winter training dates!

Are you thinking about a trip south this winter for you and/or your horse? Consider spending a month, week, weekend or day with Bonnie at her winter home in St. Matthews, SC. Her home away from home is George and Ethel Gibbes' farm, known to all who know it as THE eventing field of dreams. With 2 full water complexes and over 100 x-c jumps, you simply will not find a better facility on which to train. The farm also features a standard size dressage arena and a full set of show jumps.

Stabling is limited so if you are interested in boarding with the Point Above Farm team for any length of time please contact us ASAP. Otherwise, Bonnie is available for lessons most weekdays in February and March and on weekends when she is not competing.

If you are looking for something a little earlier in the year consider participating in our 6 day long winter clinic held January 12-17, 2010.

More info about the clinic can be found here: http://www.bonniemossersblogspot.blogspot.com/2009/11/winter-training.html or here: http://www.bonniemosser.com/pages/clinics.html

Please email Rebecca@bonniemosser.com for more information about training and lesson opportunities in February and March.

Straight from the working students mouth!

Many of you dream of picking up your life and moving somewhere to indulge your equestrian passion. Becoming a working student is one of the best ways to make this dream a reality! Working students are an integral part of Bonnie's business. We couldn't make it through the day without them! They participate in every aspect of the business... from riding to assisting the veterinarian to prepping horses for sale... But don't just take my word for it! Here is a little glimpse into the daily life of Annie Jones- an invaluable member of Team Point Above Farm and our 2009-2010 working student.

Annie joined us in June 2009. She travelled all the way from Iowa to spend a year working for Bonnie.

*****

I have been with Bonnie as a working student now for six months (and intend on six more!). My riding, training, and teaching have improved beyond what I had imagined.

The program is fulfilling—it involves many aspects of horses— not just improving as a competitor, but mostly improving one’s overall horsemanship. I have had the opportunity to sit on everything from an off the track baby to Merloch, Bonnie’s four-star wonder horse and Vaunted, Ashley’s four-star superman. The program also involves the daily routine of barn duties, and there are many skills important to running an equine operation. Another aspect of the program is buying/selling horses. This is helpful to me because I enjoy taking on project horses, training them to their potential, and eventually selling them. It even applies some of my college education of business classes!

Bonnie and Ashley are a great team to work for. The combined experience and education of Bonnie and Ashley provides an amazing opportunity for any student (a novice or upper-level competitor)! I highly recommend taking the opportunity of being in this program if at all possible!!!

The end of the season

Greeting everyone!

The end of the season is upon us... Unfortunately, things didn't wrap up as well as we had planned. The weather gods were not on our side Fair Hill weekend and after a great dressage test Bonnie made the tough decision to scratch. Actually, as we stood in the rain, looked down at the mud up to our calves and knew that it might be tough but it was the *only* right thing to do!

So... on to the next great adventure! Bonnie will be teaching and clinicing all winter and is looking forward to catching up with old students and meeting new ones! Please contact me asap to schedule a clinic at your farm or a lesson at ours.

Bonnie will be in Gordonsville, VA until the end of January. February and March will be spent at our friends George and Ethel Gibbes farm in St. Matthews, SC.

This is a great time of year to assess the past season and work on those holes that need to be filled to move on to the next level! Take advantage of our mild Virginia winter and come on down!
