Serious Certification Seminars

Well, when the Root Farm staff goes out for Certification, we do it up right!

Over the weekend of October 24 Kim and Pete Senn traveled to Ohio to test for their CHA (Certified Horseman's Association) certification as Barn Managers.

Not that they weren't already doing the job . . . but we all know how much a piece of paper with a professional signature can mean when it comes down to the nitty gritty.

Kim and Pete spent a good three days reviewing all the tasks and responsibilities of farm managers at Pegasus Farm in Hartville, Ohio. Kim tested out at level ll Equine Facility Management (Stable manager), while Pete was confirmed at level lll (Herd Manager).

Three cheers for Root Farm's barn managers!

The same weekend, our fearless leader, Alice, found herself at a posh driving establishment in Kentucky, Galyla Driving Center, that is host to United States Driving for the Disabled. she attended three days of NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Association) sponsored driving workshop and then another three days testing for her driving instructor certification.

Yeah for Root Farm's certified therapeutic driving instructor!

So, all in all, it was a big week, with another five intense days to follow at the Syracuse Invitational.

Never a dull moment!
