Thank You Horizon Structures!!




Horizon Structures specializes in prebuilt and modular horse barns, as well as outdoor living structures, sheds, garages and an assortment of farm structures.

Every Horizon Structures horse barn is built-to-order, and the company prides themselves on being able to offer a wide range of customization options to deliver a barn you've always dreamed of at an affordable price.

Owner Dave Zook met Boyd back in 2010 when he was looking to expand Windurra USA and in the process of buying the property on Gibble Rd.

Horizon was instrumental in helping Boyd and Silva after the barn fire, helping them locate refurbished barns to quickly relocate their horses to the new property.

Since then Dave and Boyd have forged a friendship and business relationship, where Boyd continues to go back to Horizon for other farm projects, including setting up the outdoor ring, viewing deck and gazebo. Boyd fully stands behind Horizon's products and workmanship and would recommend any friends or clients to contact Horizon for a quote.

Fonzy Learns His Changes



It has only been two weeks since Fortissimo B won the Markel/USEF East Coast Selection Trial for 5-year-old horses. After one week of easy riding, we are back to serious training. I like to start teaching my 5-year-olds the flying changes in between competitions. That way they have a basic understanding of what is expected of them, which makes life easier for them the next year when they have to perform changes in the show ring.
I will stop working on the flying changes weeks before the young horse finals. That way the horses will not be confused and start switching leads when they are supposed to counter canter in the 5-year-old test.
Fortissimo is an amazing learner and the flying changes come very easily to him; for such a young horse his changes are amazing! 
Please remember, Fonzy is for sale, and whoever buys him can ride him at the National Championships in at Lamplight Equestrian Center, this August 22-25 in Chicago!
