My friend and I will be doing the CT and the Bijou springs pair pace in June. Does anyone know of barns around Aspen Ridge (Monument) that do overnight boarding?
Thanks!

I can put you in contact with my barn owner though I'm not sure how close you want to try and get? We are about 15 minutes or so, at Hwy 83 & S Russelville Rd going down the back way to Aspen Ridge. They charge $15/night for overnight stays.

There is also a barn called Whispering Winds, which is about 5 mins away from Aspen Ridge. The website is website is www.whisperingwindsfarm.net/boarding.html. I think overnight boarding is about $20. Its a nice barn and its really close to Aspen Ridge. |

I personally liked the BN course at Aspen Ridge. It is over varied terrain, through some trees, some room to gallop a little- overall a nice course. Be sure to know your path through the trees as that can get a tad confusing, but all in all it was very inviting. At the HT last year you went through the water, made a pretty quick left turn and jumped a bench, but it rode really well. That was the hardest question that I can remember, but I make no promises about my memory  I can't think of anything that was overly scary out there, so that's a good thing! I have some pics from our outing there that shows some of the XC fences you may encounter. I can email them to you if you like, just let me know. Good luck, and have fun! |

We are staying at That Special Place (Wendy Hickox). THey're about 20min away, but out horses will be able to be in a pasture at night which is what they're used to. Plus they were the first ones to call us back. I would love to meet you! I'm riding dressage at 11:56 and XC at 1:41. I'll be on the crazy bay mare!  |
