Today was the second official play day of the South Charlotte Savvy Club.
We had a great turnout and it was quite the diverse crowd. I think we had at least one person from each Level and one horse from each quadrant of the Horsenality chart.

The weather was perfect, it was a beautiful, hot day but the clouds always seemed to be in the right place to give us the right amount of shade and at the hottest point of the day, we were blessed with a little cold sprinkling of rain.

Everybody got there around 1 and the ones who brought horses unloaded and then we had lunch down at the boat house, everyone was talking and I really enjoyed the conversation. The sandwiches were great, too!

After lunch everyone warmed up with games and then we all jumped in the lake.
Doc really loved the water and he was splashing and having a great time!
It was wonderful watching Stef work with him. She is so savvy!
Johnny was pulling Sue around with his tail.. Kind of like water skiing.. but with a horse! I think people in Alaska could hear her laughing.
Liz was riding Starsky in the Cradle bridle and they were cantering circles around everyone.
They really do look like the perfect match, very in sync with each other.
Sarah was on Bebe and Mariah was on Sundance.
It was Sarah's first ride in about two years and she really had a blast with the Beebsters.
And of course our wonderful hostess, Mariah Helms on Sundance. ( Affectionately called Fabio)
having all kinds of fun.
Stef even helped Mariah out with her Level 3 games on a 45 ft. line with Sundance and gave her what Mariah refers to as her new secret formula.
And of course Christian Helms was swimming around everywhere and riding Breeze, making sure everyone was having a great time.
Unfortunately, we only got to hear Taco serenade to us one time today. But once is better than nothing!

Thanks to Mariah Helms for planning and hosting such a wonderful "mini-vacation" and thanks for everyone who showed up! It was really a perfect day. :)
Can't wait until next time.

Yours naturally,

Katie Hufton
