We were so happy to welcome Mayor Hurley to our Open House where well over a 1000 members of the community gathered to hear him speak. Burnaby has had a relationship with our organization since 1967 & we hope to continue our relationship for many years
About yesterday… We were so blessed to begin our 2024 Open House with a beautiful Opening Ceremony and blessing from Florence Williams a Squamish Nation Elder. Crowds gathered around to hear every word Florence had to say and we are eternally grateful to have our horses live on the beautiful lands of the ancestral, traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish and Stó:lo peoples, including the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations @squamishnation
EXCITING NEW UPGRADE FOR BURNABY HORSEMEN’s ASSOCIATION 🎉🥳🎊
We are excited to have added GGT to our indoor arena installed by the fabulous @thunderbirdshowpark
This exciting upgrade to our facility has been a long process of researching which materials would suit our club’s needs therefore we would like to thank all of our board members and volunteers for their hard work on getting this project rolling and months of research and meetings. We would like to take the time to remind all of our members and instructors of the importance of cleaning up manure in the arena!!! Now is not the time to assume someone else will pick up your poop.
Now tack up your horses and enjoy this amazing new footing 🎉💤🎊

It was a get out and ride or walk outside kind of day around the facility as the trails and outdoor arenas were flooded with happy horses
Does your horse love riding down the Avalon Pathway?
@metrovancouverbc thank you so much for always keeping the Burnaby Lake Regional Park @burnabylakepark trails so impeccably maintained

The owl boxes are working! 🦉
This handsome guy hung out on Delilah’s paddock fence for a while last night, a great lookout spot for hunting!
Reminder to members: owls and the new @goodnatureus traps (being installed later this week!) are helpful allies in our rodent management plan, but the main role comes from you.
Be sure that all grain, treats etc. are securely stored in rodent proof containers. We recommend metal garbage cans. Sweeping and reorganizing hay within your loft regularly also decreases nesting opportunities. We all play a part.

Owl boxes in the making! 🦉
As a part of our new rodent management plan, Erika and her family have generously volunteered to create three owl boxes for our resident Barred Owls.
With the implementation of our new GoodNature rodent traps coming soon, this new non-poisonous method of rodent management will provide safe meals for local scavengers, barn cats and owls.
More information regarding the GoodNature traps will be shared soon. In the meantime, keep up the good work controlling attractants by maintaining a clean loft, sweeping and reorganizing frequently and storing all feed in metal rodent-proof containers.
