So I have been approached by 2 very special individuals coming into this holiday season... these kind people would like to sponsor a rider for a session of lessons. We are looking for the dedicated do anything to be at the barn and ride a horse kinda students. These sponsors are willing to pay for 10 weeks of lessons! (That’s $500!!!!) for the kid that really deserves it. So I’d like to open up a little contest.... this will be completely private, only myself will read the entries. This is open to all ages, all levels current and new or wanna be students. I’m looking for a letter about what horses and riding means to you. Please email your letter to me at [email protected] by December 15,2020 Please note the sponsors are willing to pay for the lessons the winners will need to arrange a schedule and transportation to lessons.

Who’s your favourite lesson pony?!?! All of these guys have a soft spot in our hearts and we are forever grateful to the many lessons they teach us! Here’s some cute snaps of the pony crew! All 10 of them! See if you can name them all!!

Well we are all set to get started with our fall lesson program tonight! Things will be a little different around here... and then theres the smoke to factor in, a good chance to spend some quality time in the stable and on ground work. We really appreciate all the recommendations we regularly get! We are however very over full for this fall. If only there were more hours in the days! We have just a few spaces left in our Horse School programs. Afterschool and weekends 7 days a week both Keelly and Sil have a full plate of wonderful lessons. Please check out some other stables in the area as we strongly feel horses is so important for many! Thank you to all our wonderful supporters and clients.

What does everyone dream of? HORSE SCHOOL of course! With a growing number of students homeschooling we have decided to create a program just for those students! Elementary school age students are invited Tuesdays and Thursdays to Horse School 12:30-3:30. During these hours 2x a week students will get a riding lesson, stable lesson and individual growth time with their horse. There will be equine education projects and learning materials as well as just time to discover mo...re about horses. High school students who are home schooled or in the Equine Athletics program are welcome to join Wednesday and Fridays (hours vary) for a program of their own. Again with a focus on equine education and development of the athlete in this sport. Assignments, work projects, and lessons will all be included in the days activities. These students are also encouraged to be big buddies and supports to the elementary school age programs during their sessions. A few spots have opened up for this program. Please contact Keelly Gordon for more information.
