Robin and Wilson Groves Article

All of us have been lucky to run across Robin and Wilson Grove.
Most of us have competed with Robin and Wilson. 
Many of us have taken lessons with Robin and Wilson.
Some of us have even had horses trained by them. 
I believe the term is " my horse has been Groverized " !
Here is a great article about the great duo.

Enjoy

Who is looking at our web site ?

Good afternoon! I wanted to send VERDA some positive feedback- I was teaching an environmental science lesson to some elementary students this past weekend, and when they were doing a natural resource webquest they ended up on your webpage (this page here http://www.verda.org/html/links.html) They thought I should tell you we were using the land conservation links there and found some great information so thanks :) we enjoyed learning about horse riding as well!

The kids also decided it would be nice of us to return the favor, so I had them pick out a good conservation page for us to share with you!

"Home Science: Backyard Conservation" - https://www.homeadvisor.com/r/home-science-backyard-conservation/
It has lots of great information for kids on conservation so they thought it'd be a helpful link for you to add to the land conservation sites on that page they found... would you be able to? They'd be so proud and I'd love to show them their suggestion :) Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!!

Sincerely,
Miss Ainsworth and Lauren, Ashlee, Jordan, and Lane
