Over The Grass Farm, in The Plains, VA is happy to announce the addition of a lesson program to our wonderful farm. Lessons are $50 per week (for two lessons) and when the students are ready we will trail ride/ cross country jump on the weekends. We have limited availability and keep the lessons small at 1-3 people per lesson. We are only accepting students (children or small adults- we only have ponies) who would be interested in foxhunting with us in the fall (Saturdays we will hunt 1st field with Warrenton Hunt and Sundays we will hunt 2nd field with the MOC Beagle Pack). These lessons will be used to prepare the riders for the hunt season which begins in September. There are showing, eventing, trail riding, etc options available all summer long as well (at your own cost). We also have the opportunity to help out with hound exercise all summer long! We would like to find riders who would be interested in taking two arena lessons during the week and, when they are ready, join us for a cross country lesson on the weekends. We have the following lesson times available for riders: Monday/Friday 4-5:30 for more advanced riders (those who can walk and trot comfortably and who can/want to canter and jump). There are two spots available for these times. and we can add one more person to our Tuesday/Thursday lessons from 4-5:30 where the students are currently WTC and jumping about 2-3 feet. We apologize but our beginner lessons are currently full. Please let us know if you'd like to be on a waiting list. This is a private farm so visits are by appointment only. If you would like to come sit in on a lesson or would like to come meet the ponies please call to set up a time.

Will travel within 30 miles of Leesburg, VA Other services available - coaching at shows/events; braiding; clipping; buying/selling horses Joanna (Aiken) Bleakley - 703-554-2773 Folks, Many people have been telling me to turn professional with my photography, and I've been listening. As a result, please look at my new website: http://www.KLMimages.com/ for my new venture, KLM Images. You will find there a number of portfolios and, at the end, a new Virginia Hunting Diary.Aside from the snazzy new look, the biggest change will be that you can buy prints and items like mugs and t-shirts directly from the website. You can also get digital downloads, for those of you who want to do that. If you've been using my pictures in places like Facebook or in online articles, you will still be able to get those low resolution downloads for free. You can also do searches -- if you are not from one of my regular hunts, try searching for your hunt's name (especially useful for the Pack Trials section). I will continue to provide all materials for the benefit of the hunts of which I am a member (for their websites, newsletters, publicity, Xmas gifts, and so forth) free of charge. For those of you worried about dial-up speeds, I am still providing pages of thumbnails which should minimize your pain. These thumbnail pages are smaller pages than on my old site, and should therefore be much faster. The existing Hunting Gallery ( http://www.KarenLMyers.org/huntingdiary/ ) will be migrated over to the new site, essay by essay. There are 136 essays (as of 12/30/2008), so that's going to take a while. If you don't see a cover photo for a gallery in the Virginia Hunting Diary section of KLMImages, that means the essay hasn't been moved yet. Once ALL of the essays have been moved, the old Hunting Diary site will be retired, and I'll make an announcement. If you want to get pictures from an essay that hasn't been moved yet, let me know and I'll move it over right away so that it's available for you. All new essays will be posted to the KLM Images site, and I will continue to announce them through my email distribution lists. As you know, I am running very far behind on producing the essays from this winter (I'm currently stuck at 12/31/08, a day I attended 2 events). To minimize the consequent frustration, I'm going to begin rendering the current essays in a timely manner as they occur, and catch up on the in-between ones as fast as I can. So you will start to see placeholders for essays after 12/30/08, and might wonder if you missed an announcement. Don't worry: as I produce each new essay, whether it's current or a little older, I will always send an announcement. If there is some particular essay you want from that stretch of time (I have heard special requests for BRH New Year's Day, NTB with Pond Hill Beagles, and the BRH Point to Point), let me know and it will go to the top of the work list. I do apologize for the backlog, but I attended many more events this year than last year, and it's gotten away from me. Please let me hear your feedback and any suggestions for improvement. Thanks for taking an interest!

Those families who have nowhere else to go, head for shelters, and most shelters refuse to allow pets. This means that the family dog that's been so loyal,unconditionally loving, and protective of these families has no place to go, except the animal shelter. Many animal shelters are becoming inundated by animals who have become homeless, and a large number of these poor animals are being put to sleep because the shelters simply don't have the space to hold them until they can find new forever homes. Unfortunately, along with the downturn in the economy goes the loss of donations to organizations who depend on them to survive and take care of these animals. Tri State All Breed Rescue is a no-kill shelter system where dogs are fostered out to caring families to take good care of them until new forever homes can be found for them. Tri State provides food, vet care and more for these dogs. Tri State All Breed Rescue desperately needs: Bleach Cotton towels Paper towels Kirkland dog food Dog beds Cages Crates Old Blankets/Quilts The website is http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MD292.html. Please contact Deborah Wolfe @ debwolfecorgis@gmail.com Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertiser s use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned or neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/ PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS !!! LOTS OF BARN CATS READY FOR HOMES call Frances Cook, 757-853-0178 Cat Rescue Inc, Chesapeake, VA, 757-432-9345 www.catrescueinc.org Lindsay Fox is now accepting a limited number of students.

Your name was given to me by some folks in the Howard County area. I live in Mt. Airy. My husband died on August 7 after a very short, obviously fatel illness and he had 2 horses and a mule. I am very allergic to horses, deadly so. I have placed the mule but I am not being as fortunate with the horses. They are Morgans and both are in their early to mid 20's. One has arthritis and is only rideable in a pony type around the ring type thing. that would be good for him. The other is fine. I have spent 700 dollars last week between their feet, shots, teeth floating, worming , etc. Obviously, I am desperately looking for a home for them. Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. lorileahy@aol.com Thanks, Lori Leahy Middleburg Hunt Scarf for Sale FOR SALE; Do you know of anyone who might be interested in buying a limited edition Middleburg Hunt Scarf? I purchased it from one of the Hunt members but with all my other scarves, I will probably never get around to wearing it. It has never been used and is still in its original envelope. I paid $250 but would be willing to let it go for $175. I may be letting go a few of my equestrian theme Hermes scarves later this month. Let me know if you are interested in seeing e-photos.

Handsome 7 year old Virginia-bred Thoroughbred gelding. 16.2 1/2+ hands. Striking chestnut, big-bodied, strapping. Retired sound from brief racing career. By Prized (Kris S., Roberto line) out of a Graustark (Ribot line) mare.Classy. Good looking. Solid. Hilltopped one full season successfully with variety of riders, including his gentleman rider (quiet rider, but all-but a novice) and several juniors. Jumps logs, small fences. Basic dressage training - terrific walk, floating, ground-covering trot, knows his leads and is learning self- carriage at canter. Does not pull, root, buck, plunge, etc. No vices. Relatively easy keeper, good doer, goes alone/in company, lives outside 24/7 with a herd but does not 'hot up' when kept in part/most of the time. Good manners, easy to handle. This horse has boarded at my farm for a year -- I use him in my lesson program (for intermediate riders on up). His owner is a politician -- adult man, about 6'2", about 180-190 #, whose career has taken a change (he's angling for an appointment with the new administration) and he's asked me to try to find Coco a new situaton. Coco goes best with quiet hands/quiet seat. He ships/clips quietly, and succesfully participated to my advanced summer camp up in New Jersey earlier this year. He's played games, done bombproofing/judged trail ride training, carries a flag, great crossing water, etc. Trail rides, surefooted. Normal feet. An old knee chip operation (cold, set) limits his jumping in terms of "big" fences, but he's fine over logs/x-rails. Free to good home. Call or email to see him. Coco is current on shoes, worming, teeth, shots, etc. He's fit and ready to go to work. Photos available. 2. Fresh Start "Doogie". Handsome 16 year old Thoroughbred gelding. 15.3 hands. Handsome bay, medium bodied. Retired sound from racing career and show horse career. Classy. Showed for a dozen years (amateurs, juniors) and has done basic dressage/trail riding for the past year. Jumps nicely, willingly. Does not pull, root, buck, plunge, etc. Easy keeper, good doer, goes alone/in company, lives outside 24/7 with a herd. Good manners, easy to handle. This horse has boarded at my farm for a year. I use him in my lesson program (for all levels.) His owner is a trail rider who wants to move up to foxhunting, and this horse has never hunted. Doogie ships/clips quietly, and successfully participated in my summer camps this year, beginner-advanced. He's played games, done bombproofing, great crossing water, etc. Good feet. Free to good home. Call or email to see him. Doogie is current on shoes, worming, teeth, shots, etc. He's fit and ready to work. Photos available. 3. Katie Beautiful bay Welsh pony mare, 13.3 hands. Gorgeous plan bay. Classic 'thoroughbred-type' Welsh. Lovely head, nice size, great conformation. 7 years old. Green but willing. Has been to several shows, done basic dressage/lessons/trails/hunting for hte past year. Jumps nicely, willingly. Does not pull, root, buck, plunge, etc. Easy keeper, good doer, goes alone/in company, lives outside 24/7 with mixed pony herd. Not mare-ish. Easy to catch. Good manners, easy for any size person to handle. Katie has been used in my lesson program for a year, with every level rider (starting to teach real beginners how to trot/canter/jump, plus of course has long been a more advanced ride, learning the aids.) Ships/clips quietly, and successfully participate in my summer camps this year, beginner-advanced. She's played games, done bombproofint, great crossing water, etc. She's hunted 8-10 times successfully with a more advanced junior, but was quiet and easy and I expect a supervised novice foxhunter rider could have a ball, or even a leadline kid. She's very easy to handle, a great size and very quiet. Katie is current on trimming (goes barefoot, even to hunt, though she has worn front shoes, and has good feet), teeth, worming, shots, etc. She's fit and ready for work. $5,000.

Easy to catch, handle, good doer, etc. Ships, clips, etc. In short, Pebbles is every kid's dream (and their parents, too!) She's the sort you can put any size kid up on (even 2-3 year old tiny kids) and turn 'em loose. Pebbles is a lady in every way. She is still capable of walk-trot-canter-gallop-jump. Aging but has 15 more years of teaching in her. $2,500. Call or email to see her. Photos available. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.

| 10/30 The Nantucket-Treweryn Beagles near Berryville, VA, has 3 nice hounds who need new homes. FOXTROT (2006) – Tri-color female beagle with brown brindle. She is an enthusiastic, exuberant girl, who still acts like a puppy. She LOVES to run, wag, and lick people. She would love to be someone's best friend and travel companion, and would be a great family dog for an active family with older children. She is very submissive to other dogs, so cannot live with an aggressive dog. She’s great with puppies/younger dogs. She could go as a pair with her brother Flyboy. FLYBOY (2006) – Tri-color male beagle with open coat. He is a BIG, handsome and happy boy - easy-going but sensitive. He does not get along well with male dogs, so he would do better as an only dog or with a female. He is very athletic and can easily jump a 5-foot fence. He would be a great agility prospect! He would be a great companion for an active outdoor sports person. He requires a very tall (6+ foot) fence, buried fence, or secure kennel. COURAGEOUS (2003) – Black and tan male beagle. He's a very kind and friendly boy - he's easy-going and well mannered. He can be dominant to other dogs, but will chill a bit once out of the kennels. He would pair well with a female dog, and would be a great farm companion or outside dog. He will still hunt rabbits, if someone is looking for an individual hunting dog. We have the full behavioral and training history on these beagles. All are healthy and have rabies certificates. For more info., contact Candi at 540-239-6273 or heybeebop@yahoo.com.

W/t/c, jumps 3'6" (when in shape), has shown, and would make a GREAT eventer or foxhunter. He is a sweet heart and is very much a people horse. He loves attention, and tolerates just about everything. He LIKES being clipped and bathed, he's perfect for the farrier, vet, and dentist, and he loads and ships perfectly fine. Doesn't bat an eye in new places, acts just the same as at home. Mick has not had regular work for about the past 3 months, but has been ridden here and there and hasn't been totally off. He will obviously need to be brought back a bit, but it really won't be hard with a little bit of time. Unfortunately I am in college and do not have the time for a horse that needs any kind of work. Mick really is a sweet boy and it will break my heart to see him go. $4500, currently in Lynchburg, Va. Email me for more info, pictures, or videos. Thanks!

He has done some wonderful things, Novice: Aug. 2006 American Eventing Championships at Five Points First Place, July 2006 - Maryland H.T. Second Place , May 2006 - MCTA H.T.First Place , Aug. 2005 - Fair Hill International First Place, Aug. 2005 – Olney Farm H.T. First Place, Training: July 2006 - Surefire Farm H.T. First Place. He is an easy keeper, and is a heavier build TB. I am a busy working mother of two small children and a low level eventer. I really don't aspire to ever go above novice level eventing and I have limited time to put in the saddle every week between football and other mommy responsibilities, 2-3 days a week is usually what I average. More of course if I am preparing for an event! I am looking to trade Cobb for a "been there, done that" mount, which Cobb is, but, if I don't ride him consistently for 4-5 days a week every week, he is full of energy. Which is no fault of his own, and he is super if he is consistently being ridden. But usually, because life happens for me and I am busy and always seem to have to lunge him before I ride him and I usually have some woo-hoo rocking horse bucks from him after jumps. Which you are probably thinking, "what's the big deal with that?" I have enough to worry about (where my hands and legs should be, etc.) and I don't want to have to worry about coming out of the saddle from a woo-hoo buck. Which if he is consistently ridden, the woo- hoo bucks don't happen. I love him dearly and it saddens me to think about not having him, but, I am thinking he could be a superstar for someone else who has more time and I could enjoy riding a whole lot more and not have 1 hour of prepping before I can actually ride. If you have or know of a situation where I could trade Cobb for a mount where I can still be competitive at the lower levels of eventing, but also have an enjoyable hack in the woods and would be the same if I rode once a week or 5 days a week. I would love to stay with a gelding, 16.1 or bigger. Please don't hesitate contacting me with questions. Holly at 301-988-9330 or holly.sutherland@ic.fbi.gov I'm looking for a horse with a great temperament, Breed does not matter, Very broke preferably knows western technique, 15 years old or younger, At least 15.5hh (something on the larger scale) I have worked with multiple shires before and just fell in love with them , Gaited or not does not matter to me. I would LOVE to have a paint, Palomino colored horse or buckskin. I would like something that's good on trails and not afraid to lead. Show material would be great! Maximum Price $1500." Contact me if you know of something suitable. <buckskinalley@yahoo.com> Thanks, Brenda Lovely 16.2h Bay TB Gelding Yankee is a lovely 10 YO 16.2 hand TB bay gelding. He has evented to Novice (schooled Training) and done local hunters to 3' with his previous owner, and has done some Elementary events and CT's with me. I bought him as I was first learning to jump/event as he is a point and shoot type of ride and dressage comes easy for him. He is easy to frame up, and will go in a relaxed hunter frame all day long, or move up into a dressage frame. He would be perfect for a junior or adult amateur who wants a fun and simple ride. He goes cross-country with confident riders in a snaffle, however, he can be bright in the open with a timid or novice rider. He knows what to do cross-country! He is UTD on shots, teeth, worming, and lives out or in. Currently on field board. He is being ridden about 2-3 days a week now. Over the winter he would sit for a couple weeks, then was fine when ridden. He has front shoes on now, but usually goes barefoot all winter. Great for vet, farrier, on xties, etc. Easy horse to ride and own. He has potential for Prelim or to be a fancy show hunter, but I am too inexperienced to get him there! Would be a packer for someone with time to show him. I'd love to see him go to a competition home who will use him to his potential. I just had a baby 7 months ago, and don't have the time to compete at this stage in my life. He is truly a talented horse who will go far. Will try hunting this fall!

Queenie is a stunning white and chestnut, overo paint mare; she is 10 years old and registered with American Paint Horse Association. She has beautiful eyes; one blue eye and one half brown, half blue eye. She is a well muscled, no fuss, 16 hh mare; healthy all year round, thriving in a run-in situation. Her ground manners are delightful, and she has an uncanny ability to bond well with her rider where communication flows easily; indicative of her medicine-hat markings. Queenie exhibits spectacular gates, smooth as silk to ride; a canter and gallop most people only hope to find. She is an intuitive jumper and is bright and willing over all manner of jumps; true hunter/jumper prospect. She has some foxhunting experience but excels on the trails and in the ring. She loves the company of all dogs and hounds. Queenie foaled one colt in 2003, beautiful markings with loads of talent. May consider lease to good home and rider. Asking $9,000; many more photos available, please call DJ at 703-753-9586. Ad 2: Bella is a striking, alert, 8 year old, 16 2 hh, chestnut Warmblood (1/2 Belgian, ¼ Thoroughbred., ¼ Paint) with a lovely flaxen mane and tail. She is talented, athletic and personable and is a willing and delightful jumper. Bella is an experienced fox hunter who has hill topped for the last three years. She was hunted 13 times last year, 11 times the year before and occasionally the year prior when training. She is particularly well mannered with other foxhunters and hounds. She jumps coops easily but has never been asked to jump coops foxhunting. She should do well in first flight with an assertive rider. Bella has wonderful ground manners, trailers well in the company of others and by herself. She stands nicely for the Ferrier and is easy to handle for all horse care needs. She thrives in a run-in situation year round; she is an easy keeper and maintains her fitness level well. Bella is affectionate, willing and curious, a delight to have on the farm. She gets along with most horses, and has experience with all manner of trail riding encounters including bikers, joggers, and loud families and other animals. Bella has fantastic feet and goes barefoot most of the year, with shoes in front during foxhunting season to accommodate rocky fixtures. She is great for trail rides and will blaze any trail necessary including those through briars or delicate water situations. Unfortunately, Bella has grown a full 2 hands since her purchase 5 years ago and now dwarfs her 5 ft 2 inch rider. Bella would be a great asset to any stable. May consider lease to good home and rider. Asking $12,500, many more photos available, please call DJ at 703-753-9586.
