GAZETTE MONTHLY | NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER
November 14, 2017
Howdee!!
In this months edition of the Flying U Gazette we highlight all the special events of our 2018 calendar. We have a jam packed year with many new programs and events so enjoy! And remember November is our "Make a Reservation month" so you still have 14 days to get last years rates on next years Riding!
But first a quick update on our herd.
The horses have settled into their winter pasture and are being cared for and fed daily by our Senior Wrangler, Steve and with help from Angela. We have on hand 200 tons of mixed alfalfa and our brand new John Deere tractor to get the job done. The entire herd is quite happy to be on winter break so that they can be well rested and ready to go for their riders in the spring!
