A big THANK YOU to the awesome staff at Good News Farm who made sure the JS horses were warm and comfortable during the Blizzard of 2009! Roads to the barn were inaccessible during the storm, but Maribelle and Jesus (who take care of the JS horses) were hard at work checking to make sure our horses stayed warm. The stable driveway was plowed better than the main roads!

First snow of the year! The horses had a great time playing outside and under saddle. They had a great time spooking at the snow-covered muck bins, which we're sure you know like to eat horses! Apparently snow tastes good too, because Nicolbria had a stomach full.

Thank goodness for the warmer weather today! We left the fleece riding pants at home today & the horses were happy for the break in the cold (although they were just as fresh as they tend to be in cold weather) :-) We love it when the mares are ready to play!

Wanted: A Spectacular Working Student to Join the JS Team!
JS is looking for a working student. Here are the details:
6 days/week except Wednesday, approx. 2 hours a day, probably varying between the hours of 2-6pm, but we're flexible and might be able to work within the schedule of the right person. Compensation is 1 Grand Prix schoolmaster lesson a week ($13.33/hr value) and the daily opportunity to observe FEI training. Duties are light and include grooming, tacking horses, and simple office work such as returning phone calls. Good opportunity for a young rider or adult rider looking to increase their exposure to FEI dressage.
Email info@jotunheimensstaller.com (preferred) or call 240.367.2876 and leave a message.

In support of the Area II eventers, we've added our name to the list of trainers donating lessons to the 1st annual USEA Area II Auction! The lucky winner receives a lesson on Nikita, our Grand Prix schoolmaster extraordinaire who has received recent scores in the 70's at Grand Prix!
Since dressage, more and more, is becoming the deciding factor in the final scores in eventing, we feel this is an excellent opportunity for the eventer who wants to improve their dressage score and an excellent opportunity to support a worthy cause!
Happy bidding and Go Area II Eventers!!

Our first advertisement has been a big hit, and we've had a ton of inquiries and appointments made for training with Marat (and some before the ad even ran!) Marat's schedule is filling up fast!
As always, we are looking for new JS horses to train to FEI for our personal use. We are currently looking at several exciting prospects. Check back for updates on our new additions and their progress.
We are planning a "get to know you" clinic for this February. This is to give you a chance to meet with Marat and watch him train. If you are interested in auditing or maybe bringing your horse to the clinic, please contact us for availability and information. We will post the date for this as soon as it has been set.

Welcome to the official Jotunheimens Staller blog! Come back often - we plan to update this page so you can keep current on the exciting events at the center.
Right now we are busy improving the official JS website and, of course, training the horses. We welcome riders of all levels, and our focus is to train our clients, client horses, and our personal horses to FEI levels. Training a horse to compete FEI is a difficult but exciting adventure!
Thanks for stopping by, and we look forward to seeing you around the stable!
