This Week in Nellie Gail Ranch

From the week ending on October 29, 2021

Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways.

Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians, and on curbs.

Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully.

Get rid of any distractions (like your phone) in your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Pumpkin Carving and Decorating Contest! The submissions were so creative and fun. Special thanks to our contributing sponsor, Trustlink Mortgage. Contest winners will be announced on Monday, November 1, 2021.

Last Sunday homeowners and guests enjoyed the last concert of the 2021 Summer Concert Series. We had the perfect sunny warm afternoon between a cold Saturday and rainy Monday. Guests danced and enjoyed the afternoon concert to the tunes of surf music. Until next year…

Dressage Trainer Katy Mouzis is hosting a Halloween Horse Show and Parade at the Equestrian Center this Sunday. The event is free for spectators! The Dressage Show will be one of the last training activities for horses and riders entering the Nationals Competition as well as an opportunity for other riders to gain show experience in a fun atmosphere.

A coffee, juice, smoothie and acai bowl food truck will be available.

Parking at the Equestrian Center will be very limited so please plan on parking at the Association Clubhouse and walking down via the stairway on the other side of the Volleyball court and down to the arena area.

• Show etiquette for those viewing is: walk slow, no quick movements that could spook the horses, being quiet, the horse and rider are listening for commands, soft clapping is okay.
• The Costume Parade will be in the middle arena and will start at 12:15 – Please arrive by 12:00. If you want to be in the parade there is an entry fee. Please email Katy with your name and costume theme so she can announce you properly. katymouzis@gmail.com
• Halloween themed crafts for the kids will be up by the Equestrian Center Clubhouse around 11:00.
