Equitop Farm

Shadows are still long but it's the first weekend outside after the winter here -- the space on the fields is so relaxing with a horse that enjoys exploring as much as you do . . . @equitopfarm @casparo... #hearthorse#dreampony #equestrian #beautifulhorses See more

Oh sweet springtime! We have border collie pups at the farm -- top working bloodlines that can work cattle & sheep. Registered, micro-chipped & vaccinated. That'll do pups- you're melting our hearts! . .... #bordercollie #workingdog @equitopfarm See more

We're coming out of Polar Vortex temperatures and our barn cats haven't even noticed, often lounging beneath the heaters or on Meghan's shoulder... What are your best ways of coping with the cold weather? . . . .... #cutestpets @equitopfarm See more

Casparo appears again in his poster boy fashion.... Flying into February.

Lifehacks by Casparo: Find the hole at the top of the haynet, & get more hay from there. We're back horseshowing and he knows how to take it easy. #lifehacks #nostress #unicornsarereal @rockymtnshow

It's Feature Friday again! This week's feature filly is "Tequila." Tequila is a 4 year old Hanoverian-cross filly, that's the whole package, --clever, kind and athletic-- she already jumps a course at 4yrs young. An excellent Junior Prospect or Amateurs match, she is for sale and will take care of you. #FeatureFriday @equitopfarm #warmbloodsforsale #standardbredsofinstagram #jumperforsale

Ribbons are "icing on the cake" -- but the journey is still where it’s at though! There’s nothing so special as working with motivated & charismatic horses, highly skilled & professional people, in a beautiful venue. @RMSJ. Thanks @carolinejones6363!.

They make it look easy!... You'll notice news of Casparo & Shauna Cook winning the 1.30m Prix @ RMSJ II last week. They also made their first debut at the 1.40m level (!), all part of the RMSJ Masquerade series. Shauna and the @CarouselRidge Team have been professionally expanding Casparo's skill-set with Beke, while Beke is also bringing along young horses. More photos to come soon, and full clips by request. Feels great to be out (& home) riding under Alberta's big-skies. s

Thanks for the lovely interview and spotlight by @CanadianWarmbloodAlberta. Be sure to check them out for all your local events, fall sale and registration needs: find more info and all your contacts at canadianwarmbloods.com.

Covid safe or bug safe? Which one is it?! Mosquitoes and Covid, please go away...

Feature Friday (On a Monday because hey, we're not perfect :) ) Everyweek we'll showcase a hidden gem of our stable. This week we're putting the spotlight on: LeBron, fittingly named, is an athlete with work-ethic galore. This young gelding is brave & friendly, and has a steady rhythm over jumps. He gets lovingly jealous if you take any other horse out to ride, and I cant wait to show him! You'll see more of him soon. Fun fact: LeBron (LePrimeur x Wolkentanz) spent a summer in the international ring as foal for SM's Name-the-Foal contest. by Johane Janelle

As many of you know (and those of you who didn't, now know), our stallion Flexion moved to new ownership with @Keepsake Farm & the Keith's. Kassidy and Flexi were an instant match, and now they're proving the great duo they are with consistent clear rounds @Tbird Showpark and their first show together -- finally after the Covid delay. So excited to follow their journey!!

This weekend would have been 'What the Hay, it's Derby Day!" And with all that's going on in the world, and all the rain, we are blessed to go play, @ beautiful Carousel Ridge. Feeling grateful to be outside with great people and our s.

Sometimes Mom just needs time for self care! #itchybellyrelief

Today's #FeatureFriday horse is fittingly named Leaf (Lord Pezi x Quidam Blue) born with a maple leaf marking on his forehead at Equitop Farm 5 years ago on Canada Day!! Persisting through a severe injury as a yearling, his stoic character prevails. He is fit and has any rider smiling. by Johane Janelle

Y’all probably thought we forgot about our first #FeautureFriday that may be both true and false. #Procrastifacting Let's start with our youngest addition! This is Chapera's little colt by Casparo. Merely 2 weeks old, he is yet to be named! He really dances.

Thanks to our ever so talented photographer @JohaneJanelle we are going to start Feature Fridays. Look forward to learning about each one of these pretty faces, plus others that live on our farm, every week!

Absolutely adore the photos & messages coming in of the freshest foals again. This newborn of Casparo's was born at Dancing Feet Dressage, with message from the so talented Pia Fortmüller. Good luck Lars & Pia with another beautiful filly!

So excited to see these beautiful foals arriving safe and sound!

Glad to start practicing with this bouncy ball again! Casparo left off here after his winter stay @carouselridge with Shauna Cook before Covid -- wouldn't it be nice if we could all jump right back into our show plans again soon! #trainingequallyfunasshowing #stallions #warmbloodsofinstagram

We planned to be driving to Thunderbird this May long weekend but instead we are doing a whole lot of napping! #rejuvenation

Drink your coffee, tack your horse... we're ready to get riding! #prettyponies

Essential exercise for Portland L and Quidam Blue. Even as retirees & breeding stallions they bring much joy to their riders! @ryleebenson and @plant_darling #unicornsarereal

#physicaldistancing, and socially connecting. Perfection by these cuties, Portland L (25yrs) and Ellis.. (1.5yrs).
