How’s everybody doing out there?

Does anybody want/need to do a virtual meeting or is the whole Eagala support call enough for now?

I’ll keep posting anything ILLINOIS specific here and you are all welcome to as well.

We are in the process of re-scheduling new (tentative) dates for Eagala fundamentals training late summer or fall. I’ll post here and on Reins of Change Equestrian Center page as soon as they are confirmed...however we will wait until stay at home orders are released to be sure it will be allowable. We did have an almost full roster, and those people will get priority in rescheduling... so contact Eagala to let them know if you want to be added.

Let us know how you’re all doing!

Keep an eye on the weather Saturday afternoon....strong storms predicted.

I’m posting regular updates on the Eagala Network page about horse related information during the coronavirus....please keep an eye on that for the most up to date info and resources!

With ILLINOIS now issuing a “stay at home” order I’ve been in touch with my Nutrena contact, and the US has determined that animal care has been determined as an essential service...for us this means we will have access to and permission to go out to get horse and animal food/supplies/veterinary service. Nutrena assures me they will keep their vendors full of horse and animal feed. If you have any problems please feel free to PM me ( Amy Blossom Lomas ) and I can connect you with resources. Here at Reins of Change we have a month’s supply of grain, 3 of hay, and medical supplies. We are closed to any clients or visitors outside of our family at this time. J and R Feeds in Burlington is open for call-in and pick up orders. Kendall Road Equine Hospital is open for emergencies so call if you need them. Get your ferrier out ASAP if you can, remove any unnecessary shoes in case they can’t come back for a while. (Still covered under essential services but if they or we get sick...) Feel free to discuss any concerns or ideas here, and when it’s all over we will reschedule our Eagala training and will have our own IL gathering to talk about dealing with what’s next.

Who wants to help get items for the Illinois basket to donate for the Eagala conference raffle?? Pick a theme....anyone can drop off donations here at Reins of Change and I can leave a bin by the front entry. I’m leaving on the 24th so we need all items by 10am that morning, unless someone else wants to gather and bring it? Feel free to share ideas here!
