We are so happy that Tia finally got to make her way home yesterday. She came to stay with us from Terrace for some care while Dr. Borrett took care of injury. She was a great patient and all the kids fell in love with her. We wish Cloe and Jennifer the best of luck with her! Thank you to Dr Borrett and Murdoch Vet for the great care.

We are so blessed and grateful that every single one of our clients and staff are more than happy to comply with our policies. We hear about others arguing regarding masks, but our experience has been so positive, not a single complaint, and in fact we receive thank you messages from our clients. Thank you to all our clients and staff, we appreciate you. #staysafe#bekind#respect#blessed

Love this! From the Plaid Horse.... *****If a horse says no, you either asked the wrong question or asked the question wrong****... An average hunter course has 100 strides. Only 8 of them are jumps. Don’t sacrifice the 92 for the 8. On approaching a fence: good riders wait until it’s time to go. Great riders go until it’s time to wait. It is NEVER the horse’s fault. Yes, sometimes a horse may take advantage of a situation, but there is ALWAYS something the rider could do differently to change the situation. Pass left hand to left hand. *****You can only lie to your horse so many times before they call your bluff.***** ****Horses do no know what they are worth. They do not know, or care, what they are capable of. They only care about the way you treat them.***** Injuries and colic happen almost exclusively at 10:00 pm on a Saturday. If you work hard, try your best, and never give up, your efforts will not go unnoticed. And you will be rewarded with opportunities when you least expect it. ****If you work hard, try your best, and never give up, you will still fail sometimes.**++ Video doesn’t lie after being told repeatedly that I was lifting my right hand before every fence, and swearing up and down that I was certainly NOT lifting my right hand before every fence I wasin factlifting my right hand before every fence. Sometimes your brain lies to you. Video does not. On being nervous going into the show ring: you’re just not that big of a deal. No one at the show is watching you close enough to know every mistake you might make, except for the judge and your trainer, and you are paying them to watch. Be patient there are no shortcuts. Any shortcut you may try, will actually be the long way. *****Check your personal issues and emotions at the door. Your horse will know. It usually does not go well.***** If your horse is in front of your leg, you have options. *****We never lose. We either win or we learn. Ride like a winner. You cannot act like flip flops and expect to be treated like Louboutins. If you have to pick only two things to think about during a course, pace and track are the two you should choose. The rest cannot happen without pace and track. At home there’s no reason to jump as big as you show every time. The basics are the basics regardless of the jump height. Save your horses legs. *****The horse world is very small. Remember this and don’t burn your bridges and be mindful of your words. Clean your tack. Groom your horse. Properly. Every day. If you can control nothing else, you can control your turn out. There is no excuse to not do the minimum effort. No matter what the problem is, the solution is almost always add more leg. Ride the horse you have today. Not the one you had yesterday. Not the one you want to have. The horse under you at this moment is the only one that matters. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. " - advice excerpts from the Plaid Horse
