Tulipsprings Evolution Since 2020
2020 was an interesting year for all of us. Tulipsprings canceled most of our spring activities due to the Pandemic and it gave us all a chance to reassess our goals going forward. Due to travel restrictions on some of our favorite clinicians, and other factors, we refocused on Area VII groups coming to school for private weekends where riders and their horses could stay and play safely in their own social groups and in the clean outdoor air.
When we started getting back to normal operation, we realized that our main value in Area VII is providing excellent footing for early spring cross country schooling. Much of Area VII is wet or frozen for most of the spring, leaving very few opportunities to get horses and riders tuned up before competitions begin in May. Tulipsprings is usually open for schooling by mid February on great dry turf, and because of this we are very active in February through May. While we are still open by appointment through the rest of the year, and we may still run a few clinics, we are primarily focused on providing well maintained footing and courses for Area VII spring training.
Our courses contain schooling questions at all levels. More options are added every year by our professional course builders!
