We usually treat the indoor season as a way to keep in shape for the outdoor season.

We're not an outdoor team, obviously; we're an indoor team. Up here in the Northeast, we're a little more subdued. I wanted them to see an atmosphere that's loud, kind of like a basketball arena. Everybody is shouting and yelling and screaming, which the team isn't used to.

What I'll get feedback-wise from the guys is two things: speed of the court and indoor-outdoor,

We had a great meet. It bodes well for the outdoor season.

We have an indoor covered arena, an outdoor arena, 200 acres of trails and 90 acres of lush pasture. We're open to the public for boarding, (horse) training and teaching people how to ride. We can stable 20 horses.

A murky weekend is the ideal excuse to pack up a picnic basket and enjoy the great outdoors.
