ANNOUNCEMENTS  
New Barn

We are very happy to announce that the new barn at Innovations Farms is COMPLETE!  The McLaughlin Team’s huge effort to train horses and construct this barn at the same time was amazing… and will never be seen again.  We have learned our lesson!  The additional stall space and dressage arena are a welcome addition to the facility.

Thanks to the new barn, we currently have openings for training or sales horses.  As the winter Florida show season is around the corner, this is an excellent opportunity to have Matt campaign your horse on the Florida circuit.  Contact Matt at info@matt-mclaughlin.com if interested in sending your horse to us for training or sale.


QUARTER'S HIGHLIGHTS

Coral, Pecos, and Matt made their first appearances in Canada at the Can-Am All Breeds Equine Emporium in Fredericton, New Brunswick and in Windsor, Nova Scotia.  During this three week trip, Coral and Pecos performed during the night Extravaganzas, provided clinics during the exhibition, and traveled to barns in the area to clinic during the week.
 
At one of the farms visited, Pecos experienced his first trail ride that included horse eating log and water obstacles.  Pecos requested that Del Amor be the designated trail stallion, as Pecos was too busy and important to be bothered with such things.  Our thanks go out to our hospitable and friendly supporters during this trip!

On the competitive front, Pecos competed at Prix St. George this summer and has qualified for USDF regional and Andalusian national championships.  He has been hard at work on his one tempis, piaffe, and passage, and we look forward to his move up the levels next year.


UPCOMING EVENTS  


Clinics:  Matt is currently booked to give clinics in Dallas TX in September, Whitehall MD and Ocala FL in October, and Curtis NE and Newton New Jersey in November.  If you are interested in participating or auditing at these clinics please see the calendar on Matt’s website for contact information.  If you are interested in hosting a clinic with Matt at your facility, please contact Heather at clinics@matt-mclaughlin.com.
