I thought this was a good listen. One little thing that makes us chuckle every day is our old man Silver Every morning he greets us with his nicker, if we have the blue bucket of food or not. We will even leave the gate open for him to venture out but always comes running back for his morning mash.

Check out these amazing local gift guides. Thank you Burk & Co. for including us in this! Yes, we certainly would love to help with the purchase or lease of a horse. Dreams do come true https://burknco.com/2020/11/21/gift-guide-for-littles/

We recommend checking out The Tack Shack

A little #joyspark for those who love Christmas as much as we do. Thanks to our little helpers who may have skipped school today to help decorate the barn for Christmas

Duane had to dig his way to get into the barn this morning.

Who can name all the horses?! ... On nice days we run fast!

*Important Notice* We’ve been fielding many questions regarding our riding lesson program. Our recommendation for everyone at this time is to stay home. If you are boarding or leasing a horse, please discuss with your riding instructor how to proceed on an individual basis. All lessons with lesson horses are cancelled. All trailer-ins are also cancelled at this time. All students will retain their spot for lessons. We will permit our boarding/leasing clients access to the barn to care for their horses. Our main concern is to keep our barn family healthy. This is so unprecedented...Please bear with us and take care.

Saddle pads are in! So handsome! Hadwyn and Regan

We have some brand new aerion polo shirts with our amazing logo on the back! Limited sizes xs, s & m. $50.00 each. Please message Kaitlyn Kopchiak to pick one up.

Congratulations to Michelle and Julie for all their hard work and compliments this past year! 0.9m Equitation and Children’s Hunter Medal. We are proud of you! We had so much fun celebrating at the Jump Alberta Gala.

Hey Willowbend family .... show season is approaching fast and we thought it would be nice to show pride in our barn at shows! I have contacted Ogilvy and they... will provide a 15% discount for an order of 15 or more jump pads. Amber is on board for a grey pad, black binding, and a white piping strip. We can have Logos put the Willowbend logo on one side and your horses name on the other. Pictures give you an idea of what it would look like. Please express if you’re interested so I can get an idea of if we have the numbers for a discount . See more

All is calm, all is bright! Merry Christmas! Have a peaceful Christmas, Blessings in The New Year!

Just a heads up to anyone that had their name down for Shane today. He had a family emergency and will try and make it next Friday, Dec 20th. Thanks.
