Windamere Equestrian centre and Rachel Schnurr lost a unicorn today. “Rock Steady”. Rocky, Rockster, Rocky Road, Doodle, was Rachel’s junior Hunter then went on to Jessica Rasek on lease for the next 5 or so years. When I say he was a perfect horse, he was just that. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body. He never did anything wrong. I loved his deer in the headlight look when you called him and he would stop munching on his hay to see what you brought for him. He was my favourite horse in the barn. He will be missed but not forgotten by everyone at our barn. Special thanks to my staff for helping him cross over and to Emily Jantzi from Manning Equine. . His halter is hanging at the front door so we don’t forget him.

Halle Ryan and Astil L, Rebecca Graham and Cloud 9 GS, Kendra Martenfeld and Esganoso Mancais, and Emma Kestle and Czar W. and a special shout out to my daughter and her mount Copain Du Picobello Z. She almost didn't go but boy are we happy she did. Cooper is all heart and stepped up to help Rachel to a 6th place finish in the Canadian Championships. To say we are over the moon is an understatement

Libby left us last week. She was my parents farm dog and lived a great life. She loved to come up to the barn and if it was raining she hitched a ride back to the house with whoever opened their car door for her to jump in. She will be really missed by everyone ❤️
