COVERED LUNGE PEN MAINTENANCE - CLOSURE EXTENSION FRIDAY JANUARY 8th, 2021 Dear members, the Covered Pen Lunge Pen needs a little more time to recover, which is why we are also keeping it closed today.... Matt, our Ground Manager, did a great job yesterday. However, what it needs now is time to dry ... It might have to stay closed tomorrow (Saturday) as well if the rain doesn't stop. We will keep you informed. Thanks for your understanding and patience. The SRC Team

With few of our members owning in Southlands, it means most of us board, lease and/or lesson on a property we don’t own. We and our horses are often guests and we need to remember to be gracious and appreciative of our hosts - the people who own these barns and allow us to benefit from their generosity. The first Saturday in November is being declare Southlands Barn Owner Appreciation Day - and this November 7th please ensure that you are taking part in some way, shape or form. It can be as simple as a thank-you note or as elaborate as you wish. Please tag your posts with #southlandsridingclub #southlandsbarnownersday and #keepsouthlandshorsey and share how you are showing the love for those who share their space with us and our horses
