Jeff surprised Tressa on her birthday by bringing her to do a Spend the Dayat Splendor Farms. After going on a two hour trail ride (first time either had ridden) they came back to a lunch of fried chicken, baked macaroni & cheese, fresh snap beans, tomato & cucumber salad, and garlic bread! To celebrate the birthday girl, dessert was an angel food cake with strawberries and homemade whipped cream! Happy Birthday, Tressa!
"I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful day Friday! We really appreciated your hospitality and undivided attention. And the food was amazing....by far the best home-cooked meal I've ever had. The horses were wonderful, and the trail ride was an adventure. It was the most memorable and wonderful birthday ever!!" - Tressa, Oct. 2009

This is Maggie from Georgia. While in town visiting her grandparents
and cousins, she took horseback riding lessons.
Haily of Covington, Louisiana took riding lessons #1 through #6 Fall 2008.
Never missing a lesson, she accomplished a perfect seat...
...a perfect sitting trot around cones...
...and a gorgeous flowing lope with one hand.
She also developed a strong confidence riding Annie out of the safety of the arena...
...and I couldn't be prouder of her! Haily! Sit up straight!!!
Louisiana basketball and NBA star PJ Brown rode horses
