To all clients and friends of Evergreen Equestrian
Center:
2008 is bringing many changes to Evergreen
Equestrian Center.
The Crooks family and Stella Farm will be
relocating in the fall to Sandpoint, Idaho. While it was a difficult
decision for us, it will enable us to focus more on our family and on
our own horses. As many of you know, our family has grown quite a bit
over the past few years, and we have to consider how to best balance the
needs of our children and the needs of our horses and business. We feel
that this move will help us create the necessary balance. Mike and
Jennifer will continue with the same competitive schedule as in previous
years with the Grand Prix horses and young horses, and will continue to
take a small group of clients to the shows as well.
We are happy to announce that Kara Levis, formerly
our assistant trainer at Stella Farm, has agreed to stay on at
Evergreen. She will continue to offer training and lessons through her
business, Full Circle Farm LLC. For more information about Kara’s
program, visit the Full Circle Farm page by clicking on the link to the

Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult
decision to close the EEC Riding School effective July 2008. It has
been very important to us to offer the opportunity for kids and adults
to learn to ride and horsemanship at reasonable rates, and the Riding
School has been an important part of the Northwest hunter/jumper
community for almost 40 years. However, the huge increase in the costs
of running this business in recent years has made it impossible for us
to keep providing this service. Kara will be providing school horse
lessons on a limited basis for intermediate riders who are interested in
a more advanced program, and you can contact her at (425) 770-2685.
We are grateful to our clients, friends and
community for all of the support given to us and to Evergreen Equestrian
Center over the years, and look forward to the new adventures and
opportunities that will arise from these changes.
