Important! The Nova Scotia Hunter Jumper Association (NSHJA) board is conducting a short survey with our past and present members and the broader equestrian co...mmunity.

Coveside Stables is currently closed to the public and will be until further notice. This includes the trails and any public who feel driving through and/or stopping to pat our horses is something to pass the time. We appreciate your understanding and hope everyone stays healthy and happy.

Stay tuned for some exciting additions to the Coveside Classic 2019(EC/USEF rated). Facility improvements, new divisions and an exciting addition of not only the Pony Hunt Team but Horse Hunt Team Class as well. Lots of details still to come.

Hello again, and please accept our appreciation for your continued patience and support. We have been focused on this issue and working to find a solution to th...e current situation. We’ve heard from many of you with your concerns, and appreciate your honesty with us during this difficult time of decision making. The Avon Pony Executive has made some tough decisions, which have been made with the larger community in mind, the understanding of the concerns of many of you, and the intention of lessening the impact to our Club. We appreciate the support and collaboration we have received from the Windsor Agricultural Society, and want to make everyone aware that the Wentworth (green) barn and the Mary Henry arena have been fully scrubbed and disinfected. Our vet continues to assure us of the little-to-no risk of transmission of the illness. The Mega Training Show will be rescheduled to take place at the Windsor Exhibition Grounds on June 22 and 23. We look forward to hosting you all at the facility at that time. If you have already submitted your entry, please be in touch to let us know if you would like your entry carried over to the new dates, or if you wish to receive a refund. The Jen Hamilton Mega Clinic will be postponed. Confirmed participants will be contacted individually. The new date/location of the clinic will be communicated publicly. The Windsor Spring Horse Show will continue on the dates of May 16-19. However, the show will take place at Coveside Stables in Chester, Nova Scotia. We want to extend our thanks and appreciation to Brad and Jackie Rusaw who have offered their facility. We’re excited to see you all at Windsor Spring By the Sea. This is a gentle reminder to get those entries in! Thankfully, none of the Pony Club ponies who were housed in the green barn, and are currently under the voluntary quarantine, are showing any symptoms of illness. We are continuing to monitor them closely. We understand that these decisions will likely bring about more questions. We’re working hard to respond to everyone in a timely manner. Thank you, The Avon Pony Club Executive and Horse Show Manager Carrie MacDonald
