We are busy filming for our Virtual Lesson on Friday! It will have lots of tips, riding clips, and horsemanship information. Topics will range from blanketing, grooming, and basic riding position for our less advanced riders to booting, wrapping and riding tips for our more advanced riders.

This is what happens when you feed your chickens specially make oatmeal with blueberries, raisins, and yogurt every morning - they come knocking demanding their breakfast! Once the farm is open again, we have fresh eggs for sale!

JANUARY LESSON SCHEDULE Also, for those that have been asking - I am still working on the January schedule as fast as I can! I got sidetracked Friday with news of the lockdown, so it's a little delayed but I will get it posted ASAP. The new start date for the January session will be January 11th, assuming the lockdown isn't extended. Thank you for your patience.... Nikki

Hey Everyone! In case you didn't read through the email blast we sent out yesterday, we are asking that all riders have their own grooming kits. We are currently disinfecting brushes but they are starting to freeze, and in an attempt to be extra cautious, we feel it would be safest for all participants to have their own equipment. I have received a few emails asking what needs to be in a grooming kit. All brush kits MUST have:... - a hoof pick (to clean out the horses' hooves) - a curry comb (to loosen dirt and shedding hair) - a hard/dandy brush (to sweep away loosened dirt & hair) It is also nice to have: - a comb or brush for the horses' mane (tails should NOT be combed without detangler) - a soft/body brush (to remove remaining dust and polish the coat) Here is a good article explaining the various types of brushes: https://www.saddlebox.net/horse-brushes-explained/. We will have the curry comb/hard brush combo and a hoof pick available for sale for $10.00, please let us know if you would like to order a set. If you would like to pick out your own brushes, the Nobleton Feedmill is only 5 minutes from the barn and they have a good selection! They are located at 12 Old King Rd, Nobleton, ON L0G 1N0. You can also order or pick up from local tack shops, including www.greenhawk.com, www.bakerssaddlery.com, www.bahrsaddlery.com, https://www.pleasantridge.ca, www.horseandhound.ca

We have been very spoiled so far this month with summer-like temperatures and outdoor riding! It looks like we are going to return to more seasonal temps this week so here are my tips for dressing for cold-weather riding. We are also very excited that our tack up area renovation is now complete and is HEATED to keep riders warm while tacking up/untacking this winter :) http://raynhamstables.blogspot.com//winter-riding-tips.html

Cross country lessons on November 10th?! Amazing!!

Hey Raynham Riders! Just a reminder that there are NO lessons tomorrow. When planning the sessions, we had reserved tomorrow to have our annual Halloween Schooling Show, so the date was not included in the session (no makeups are required). We’re bummed to miss out on our favourite schooling show for this first time in over a decade! We have photos of some of the awesome costumes from this week that we will post shortly!! Happy Halloween!
