<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Successful Community Events</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Suncoast Stables was involved with many great community events over the past few weeks. Our first ever Open House and Fundraising Event in February was quite successful! Over 200 people showed up to meet our horses, browser the vendors, enter raffles, enjoy some snacks, and watch a movie under the stars. Proceeds went to Saving Grace for Equines, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization focused on the rescue of American Saddlebred horses, and the Suncoast Stables Youth Club.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In early March, Suncoast Stables also setup a booth at the Land O'Lakes EGGstavaganza event, as we're always looking to expose the public to more information on horses. Then, we had a lot of fun holding an Easter Egg hunt last Saturday. Thanks to everyone that came out to support these events! We look forward to planning more community events soon. The photo below shows both events.</span><br />

<br />
Congratulations to Simbara's Bess Buy, who is trained by Suncoast Stables. His owner Karsyn Licciardello, also trained by Suncoast Stables, rode him to win the 2015 Region 10 American Saddlebred Association Open English Pleasure High Point Award. This horse and rider combination has a great season and we look forward to more special times ahead.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Summer Camp Will Be Here Soon</span><br />
<br />
Four weeks of summer camp are offered this year. For details, including dates and pricing, visit our website. The registration forms are also available <a href="http://suncoaststable.com/forms/SummerCampRegistration.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Win Your Ribbons at Home First</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
The reason you compete in horse shows is to see if you can perform at your best and meet or exceed your personal goals. Blue ribbons are great, but getting caught up in your placings at a show should not be your main focus. You are really competing against yourself - against your prior personal best.<br />
<br />
A great way to improve is to first set realistic goals. Find something you could do better at shows and focus your patience and practice time on mastering it. It could be a little thing, but as long as it is reasonable and achievable, it will be a good goal.<br />
<br />
Every time you practice, think about how that practice would've done in a competitive environment. If you have an "award-winning" practice, mentally award yourself a blue ribbon. A good ride is a good ride, regardless of where it happens. Work on your goals until you find yourself winning these "blue ribbons" consistently.<br />
<br />
Remember, a horse show always brings unexpected variables. Some days will be good and some days will be unlucky. But, if you can master your goals, improve your skills, and have those award-winning rides in practice, the horse show wins will come.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Horseback Riding Lessons Versus Trail Riding</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
We, and our customers, are often asked about trail riding. Some people seem confused as to why this isn't offered at our facility, or don't understand what the differences are versus riding lessons. Below, we explain these differences.<br />
<br />
Although there are some good trail riding facilities in the country, many facilities are not held to certain standards because there is no governing body overseeing the training or operation of trail riding facilities. Equine facilities that are involved in competition, like Suncoast Stables, report to a governing body and must meet specific standards to ensure the health and well-being of the horse and rider. Even when seeking out lessons, customers should be sure that the facility is operated by people with higher education in equine studies and membership in equestrian regulatory organizations such as the United States Equestrian Federation.<br />
<br />
Lessons provide a more controlled environment than trail riding. Good facilities should know their lesson horses inside and out because they work with them on a regular basis. Instruction is provided to ensure riding is being done correctly and no unnecessary risks are being taken. Even though we do our best to make riding as safe as possible, horseback riding is an inherently dangerous activity so having riding knowledge provides a definite advantage. At Suncoast Stables, we structure lessons to meet the individual goals of the rider, whether a novice looking for basic skills or a rider wanting to compete at a high level.<br />
<br />
Also, many insurance providers do not allow trail riding due to its unsafe nature, making it difficult to find legitimate trail riding facilities. Horses are prey animals and look for threats all the time, especially in a wilderness area. Certain threats - even the wind rustling a nearby bush - could trigger a horse's survival instinct, making it act unpredictably. And a horse's first instinct is to flee, taking you along for the ride.<br />
<br />
If trail riding is of interest to you or your friends, be sure to do your research on the facilities and ask us any questions you may have on the subject.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The trip to Georgia was definitely worth it, as Suncoast Stables riders had an awesome show! Results were as follows:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition, two Suncoast Stables riders qualified to compete at the Horsemanship Finals at the Georgia Fall Classic. This competition, which highlights overall horsemanship skills, featured 31 competitors from the Southeast this year. Riders randomly draw horses to ride and only get five minutes to learn and adapt to the horse before having to compete. There are multiple rounds of elimination and after each round the remaining riders draw a different horse. <b>Elissa Alfonso</b> made it through all the rounds of elimination with stellar performances in each round. <b>Graceanne Hoback</b> also made it through all elimination rounds and was called back to be included in the <b>TOP TEN</b> ceremony.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you know, Suncoast Stables enjoys reinvesting back into its customers to continuously improve the customer experience.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Words of Wisdom</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the Florida State Highpoint Program banquet, Mary Jo Schmidt and Tom Johnson spoke to those in attendance. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mary Jo and Tom are two of the greats in our industry and it is always a pleasure to learn from their experiences.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mary Jo talked about the competitive nature of riders and the drive to constantly get better. She cited a study that determined it could take 10,000 hours of practice to truly become an expert at something. At Suncoast Stables, we fully support the drive of our riders to constantly improve. We set goals for shows, and when we reach them, we set more difficult goals. More and more can be gotten out of every horse and rider and we enjoy being with you every step of the way to succeed at reaching your goals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tom Johnson talked about how motivation works both ways. The trainer not only motivates riders to do well, but riders motivate trainers. When a rider is saddened by a poor ride, the trainer constantly thinks of more ways to help the rider improve and move on from the bad experience to the brighter days ahead.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Horse Show Success</strong></span><br />
Riders from the Suncoast Stables
Show Team started off the Fall show season with an amazing showing. Despite the rain, we earned a lot of blue ribbons, had great rides, and gained even more experience at the Serenity Stables Horse Show in Spring Hill, FL. This built on the success of last month's Summer's End Horse Show in Ocala, FL. Results from both shows can be found further down in this blog post. Thanks to everyone who helped out with the show and supported the team... it was greatly appreciated! Also, if you'd like the chance for your pictures from lessons or shows to be featured on the blog, please email them to krystle@suncoaststable.com.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">New Barn Addition</span></strong><br />
Our riders are like family, and we enjoy investing back into the business so you can have a better customer experience. When the rain stops and the land can be properly prepared, we'll begin the new barn addition that will add more tack and feed rooms, a show tack room, five wash racks, an office, and additional storage. Other minor improvements, such as fence painting towards the front of the property, have already begun.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">T-Shirts Are In</span></strong><br />
On your next visit Suncoast Stables, be sure to check out the newly designed T-shirts that are for sale. They're great for showing support at the upcoming horse shows!<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Congratulations to Judy Rodrick</span></strong><br />
Judy is the proud new owner of the handsome McGwire, who will be staying at Suncoast Stables. If owning a horse is in your future plans, be sure to talk to Krystle, as she can help find a horse that matches your riding style, budget, and future needs.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There is nothing like the thrill of competing in horse shows! Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced rider, there are some basic things you need to know to become better and eventually compete for blue ribbons. These skills should be practiced so that they become second nature to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br />First, you have to truly love horses and want to understand them. Competition is about the horse and rider team knowing each other, how to respond to each other’s signals, and getting the most out of each other. You need to master the basics of horse riding and horse care. Ride every chance you can. It takes time to become an expert. Have the patience to practice hard to correct mistake. This is how you make a strong horse and rider team. Repetition of these skills is the key to helping your muscle memory remember how to react… eventually it’ll happen automatically.<br /><br />If you are on a budget, this could mean riding on horses that others look over. But that’s OK, because with dedication and practice, you and your horse will get noticed. And the more you get noticed and improve your skills, the better you will compete. Study the top competitors. Ask your trainer to give you more knowledge about what makes a rider great. Study your training plan.<br /><br />Start in fun local shows. There are several coming up in the next few months. This gives you and your horse experience in front of a crowd. You’ll get used to the intricacies of competition and a good feel for the rules. Eventually, you’ll move up and experience the exciting environment of a larger regional show. Again, this is an excellent opportunity to learn from others.<br /><br />At shows, you’ll experience ups and downs. A good attitude and good sportsmanship is the key to dealing with this. It’s a judged sport and you may encounter unfairness or disappointment, but it is important to be strong and bounce back. Always be eager and hungry to learn from every experience and put this knowledge into practice.<br /><br />Sign-ups are available at the barn for the fall and winter shows. Talk to your instructor now about what you should be doing to prepare for these upcoming events.</span>Suncoast Stableshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00794706667873259434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357187447405290830.post-24340204051695925032015-05-25T20:55:00.000-07:002015-05-25T20:59:06.564-07:00Summer Happenings<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Just like the summer weather, things are heating up at Suncoast Stables.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Summer will be upon us soon. There's no doubt that you want to plan some fun activities for your children during the school break and the week-long summer horsemanship camps at Suncoast Stables provide some great benefits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">First, camps offer an ideal way for your children to gauge their interest in horses without a large financial or time commitment. Maybe they've been a little interested in horseback riding, but not enough to sign up for weekly lessons. Perhaps they like horses, but haven't really spent time with them. Consider summer camp a trial run, where children will gain an appreciation for the combination of power, grace, and fun-loving attitude that horses display, all while in a safe environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Summer camp also teaches responsibility (but in a fun way). Your children will not only ride horses, but learn about proper care, such as feeding, grooming, how to tack, and how to clean stalls. They'll familiarize themselves with the equipment necessary to ride and even learn some horse anatomy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Week-long summer camps are also a great way for your children to have fun in a supportive environment. There's no need to be apprehensive, as Suncoast Stables provides horses that can accommodate various skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Since safety is the number one priority, campers will be comfortable while riding and are in good hands with the instructor and older riders with more experience. Campers will engage in activities with others of a similar age group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Summer camps, at the very least, are a great experience for children and could even ignite their passion for riding horses. Perhaps the goal of becoming an advanced rider or the thrill of winning blue ribbons at local academy-level competitions (which don't require your own horse) will begin for your children this summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Suncoast Stables, which has earned a 100% customer recommendation rating on Groupon and a 5-star rating on Yelp, is holding six different 5-day summer camps this year:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 1: June 22-26</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 2: June 29-July 3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 3: July 13-17</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 4: July 27-31</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 5: August 3-7</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp 6: August 10-14</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day and is open to children ages 6-18.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Registration forms, which include more information about camp, are available </span><a href="http://suncoaststable.com/forms/SummerHorseCampRegistrationForm.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In addition, the Boots, Bits, and Bridles Youth Club meeting is this Friday, April 24, at 6pm. The club is open to all of our riders under age 18. </span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><strong>GASPARILLA CHARITY HORSE SHOW</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Suncoast Stables recently competed at the Gasparilla Charity Horse Show, one of the largest and most competitive in the area. This horse show supports charities such as Horses for Hope and UPHA scholarships.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The show was successful on many levels. Graceanne Hoback rode her new horse McGwire in their first A-rated show together. They turned in several quality rides in the American Saddlebred 3-Gaited Show Pleasure Jr. Exhibitor division. This tough division featured stiff competition that included some world champion horse/rider combinations from across the country and fellow Suncoast Stables rider Hailey Luedde on Travel In Style. Hailey is new to the division but you wouldn't know it by watching her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Karsyn Licciardello rode extremely well on Simbara's Bess Buy in the English Pleasure Open Breed division. This team moved to a tougher division this year and we can tell there are good things to come in the future for this dynamic duo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ten weeks ago, a former horse trainer and now client brought the beautiful Framed in Radiance to Suncoast Stables. In this short period of time, Krystle Lee trained the horse to be ready for its very first horse show. Krystle and Radiance competed well, earning two blue ribbons, and it was great experience for Radiance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">More importantly, after each horse show, Suncoast Stables provides a personalized training plan going forward to improve for upcoming shows. Job well done everybody!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are interested in starting competition, there are several smaller local shows this season that do not require horse ownership. This is a great way to get your feet wet and develop a training plan to improve your showmanship skills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Suncoast Stables offers training for young horses, whether they be show or pleasure prospects.</span><br />
<br />
Special thanks to Hannah Murray and Elissa and Stephanie Alfonso for all their help at the show!<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: inherit;"><strong>SUMMER HORSEMANSHIP CAMP</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's almost summer camp time! Besides learning how to ride, campers will get hands-on experience caring for a horse. This includes grooming, feeding, tacking up, and cleaning stalls. We also use fun games to reinforce educational content, such as horse anatomy, nutrition, safety, and equipment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Children ages 6 - 18 can attend camp. We have helmets available. When riding, campers must wear long pants and closed toe hard-soled shoes. Be sure to bring a cooler with lunch, drinks, and snacks... and don't forget your sunscreen and sunglasses!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year's weekly summer camps are being held June 22-26, June 29-July 3, July 13-17, July 27-31, August 3-7, and August 10-14. Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration forms are available </span><a href="http://suncoaststable.com/forms/SummerHorseCampRegistrationForm.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span>Suncoast Stableshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00794706667873259434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357187447405290830.post-28538474952892025842015-02-11T19:27:00.001-08:002015-02-11T19:27:58.323-08:00Promoting the American Saddlebred<div>
<a href="http://suncoaststable.com/images/Horse3.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://suncoaststable.com/images/Horse3.png" height="200" width="131" /></a></div>
<div>
Suncoast Stables was invited by the University of Florida to represent the American Saddlebred breed at the 4H and FFA Youth Judging State Competition held at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, FL last Saturday. 4H and FFA teams from all over the state of Florida competed for individual and team accolades. Other breeds and disciplines at this event included Belgians, Western Pleasure Stock Type, Warmbloods, Hunter/Jumpers, and Quarter Horses. This was a successful event and we were happy to promote our breed!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of Suncoast Stables' goals is to eliminate the misconception that American Saddlebreds are mistreated by practices associated with many closely-related gaited breeds. Even though some American Saddlebreds can be taught to do gaited work, they are still considered a "trotting" breed and are required to trot in every single class at a horse show. Therefore, they cannot undergo training practices that result in lameness of any kind, as any horse that is unsound or lame cannot trot properly. It is important to educate those around us so people can properly enjoy the discipline.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">At the Great American Teach In last Thursday (Nov. 20), the students at Tampa Bay Blvd Elementary in Tampa, FL made some new equine friends.
Krystle Lee of Suncoast Stables in Odessa brought along some of her four-legged companions and discussed the types of careers available in the equine industry. She also demonstrated horse back riding,
training, and care of horses. Krystle emphasized what it takes to
combine one's passion, education, and hard work to
create a fulfilling career that makes you proud.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Here are some websites and literature that Suncoast Stables recommends for those that are interested in learning more about horses.<br />
<br />
<b>Websites</b><br />
<a href="http://horsebooksetc.com/">HorseBooksEtc.com</a> is a great website offering a wide selections of horse books and DVDs. Even though they do not offer books for every discipline, it is a great start. <a href="http://asbmuseum.org/">ASBMuseum.org</a> is a website for the American Saddlebred Museum and has a great gift shop that includes a selection of books and DVDs. Many different horse breed associations and museums will offer literature specific to the breeds and disciplines.<br />
<br />
<b>Magazines</b><br />
<i>The Horse Magazine</i> is a wonderful magazine for those interested in equine health. <i>Equus Magazine</i> covers horse behavior, disease, lameness, management, and riding. <i>Young Rider Magazine</i> is perfect for our younger equine enthusiasts. There are also magazines for very specific disciplines, ages, and breeds.<br />
<br />
<b>Books</b><br />
<i>Equine Science</i>, by Jean T. Griffiths, is designed to be an indispensable guide to the horse. It includes charts, photos, and references for practical advice and information. <i>Rein In Your Brain,</i> by Janeane Reagan, PhD, is a book for do-it yourself mental and emotional training for riders and drivers.Suncoast Stableshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00794706667873259434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357187447405290830.post-1015655502717309272014-08-24T15:45:00.003-07:002014-08-24T15:45:31.064-07:00Horsemanship FundamentalsAt Suncoast Stables, we believe having solid horsemanship skills creates a successful horse and rider experience. A beginner rider should focus on mastering the following three steps to build a successful foundation.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Learning Horse Behavior</u></b><br />
A rider should be able to read a horse's body language. Noticing when a horse is upset, nervous, dominant, or curious can help keep you and the horse safe. Are your horse's ears straight back? Is he stomping his feet? These can be some signs that help identify your horse's mood. Also take note of the environment that your horse is in. For example, if there is a screaming child next to where you are riding, it could affect your horse. By acquiring these skills, you'll stay one step ahead of the horse whether you're in the saddle or not.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tack and Equipment</u></b><br />
Learning how the tack and equipment goes on the horse can take a while to learn, but it is one of the most important steps in riding. Does it fit comfortably? Is the bit in the mouth correctly? Is the saddle in the correct position? How is the tightness of your girth? Your horse can become upset if the equipment isn't correct, causing a potentially unsafe situation.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Proper Riding Instruction</u></b><br />
Your personal goals will determine the level and length of instruction you need. Even if your goal is occasional pleasure riding, you still need basic riding lessons to make your experience more enjoyable and safe. Everyone knows someone that has a horror story of falling off a horse because they just hopped on without the realization it is a 1,000 pound animal with a mind of its own. Just a few lessons can teach you proper techniques to command and control your horse for a more pleasurable ride.<br />
<br />
If you goal is to become a competition rider, eventually your riding lessons will teach you more skills. This includes being a leader to your horse so you can simply communicate the things that you want the horse to do. Remember, either you or your horse will become the leader... our goal is to make the leader you!Suncoast Stableshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00794706667873259434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357187447405290830.post-60664882557111278082014-08-10T11:20:00.000-07:002014-08-11T06:26:38.098-07:00Blog changes are trotting your wayStarting in September, Suncoast Stables will be publishing two blog posts per month.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Bookman Old Style, serif;">Horse camp at Suncoast Stables

friends. Campers learn how to take care
of the horses, have a riding lesson, play games, arts & crafts, and
more! We always ride the horses but each
day at camp is new & exciting! We
even have a horse show on Fridays so campers can show their friends &
family what they've learned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
