I’m confused, is it still winter or has spring sprung early?! In Nebraska, we know better than to think that spring would come to stay this early. Reality-Sigh-Nice thought. Though I must say the beautiful days in the first part of February were incredible and a nice lift to get us through all this snow and now mud, and I’m sure soon to be frozen again. We will soon look back at yet another winter! To those of you who braved the blowing snow over the last few weeks to help care for our beloved furry friends, a heart-felt “Thank You” from everyone at SWEA. You are so appreciated.

Although we still have some cold days where it makes being in the barn less enjoyable the SWEATeam has been busy preparing and getting things ready to launch for this show season! Below you will find an outline for the SWEATeam program. Nothing is finalized, and we would welcome feedback from students, parents, and any other person who may have valuable input. It may look overwhelming, but once broken down, it’s very doable. All of the material needed for testing will be provided in a handbook.

Hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget to bring your favorite horse something!
