Thanks to our
Beat the Blues Participants!

Here are some participants who braved the cold weather and enjoyed our Beat the Blues show on February 20th. We'll be changing these photos frequently, so come back often to see new photos!

Practice Shows are Back!
Check out the
Beat the Blues series!

Heartland Stables announces the new Heartland Stables Beat the Blues Winter Show Series. Remember our practice shows last winter and over the summer? Well, we're doing it again! The best part is you get to practice showing with a real judge, but you don't need to worry about a clean, spruced-up horse or fancy show clothing. The Heartland Cafe will be open during these shows, so you'll have a place to warm up and enjoy Bill Foss' great food.

Our next Beat the Blues show date is March 6th. The show will begin at 12:00 noon. You can choose to enter individual classes for $5 apiece, or you can pay a $25 flat fee for each horse/rider combo and enter as many classes as you wish! What a bargain!

There are two divisions, one for Juniors (14 and under) and Seniors (15 and over). Check out the Show Bill for more information. We hope to see you there!

Need to Know More
about Boarding?

The horseback riding season can be very short in Wisconsin if you don't have an indoor arena! If you are longing for a safe, spacious place with indoor riding arenas to board your horses, consider Heartland Stables. Our Boarding page will show you what we offer, and Bill Foss will gladly answer any questions you have.

A Note from Bill Foss...

I've swapped my blue jeans and casual shirts for the dress pants, shirts, and neck-choking ties. It's back to work full time selling new and used cars and trucks at Len Dudas Motors in Stevens Point. It shouldn’t be a hard transition, as I have been selling for over 33 years. (Oops, hope I didn’t give my age away!) My specialty is trucks, the pulling kind. Hint-hint! Seriously, if any of our guests or friends of Heartland are looking for an extra special price on any type of car or truck, please e-mail or call me at (715) 592-4171. Until then, happy motoring!!!

Your Friend at Heartland,
Bill
