Make Your Mark Stables and Fresh Aire Events are based at the beautiful Canopy Creek Farm, a new sport horse facility in Springfield, Oregon.    We are primarily an eventing facility and home to a few lucky horses, dogs, soon to be trout, family and friends.  Our atmosphere is low key, fun and still very competitive.

Fresh Aire Events was started to provide our area with a variety of clinics, seminars and other schooling events in the disciplines of Eventing, Dressage & Show Jumping.  Christina Spencer is my dedicated & fun associate in Fresh Aire.  Our goal is to offer the finest local schooling options for the beginning & professional rider. 

                                                                                     We look forward to seeing you soon!
