DH has some guests and we can’t believe how cute they are!!! Meet Clarence and Edith, we’re going to see how they fit into Pony Patrol and life at DH over the summer. Thanks to our special friend Shelby Bennet for trusting us with this adorable pair!

They have already made a trip to petsmartcanada and PetSmart in Airdrie to get fitted for new collars. They are the cutest and most loving littles around!!

Not sure why but the Garage Sale FUNraiser was much slower than we had anticipated. Like they say FAIL is only our first attempt in learning. So we’re revamping and going to try again in the summer. Here’s the pictures we got playing cards, an adorable snuggler and Shrek guarding his tractor!

Making Connections

When Kevin and Bryanne met back in the 80’s there wasn’t any spoilers to where this life would take us. If you told us then that our lives would twist and turn like a tornado, droping us on 20 acres in the heart of Springbank running a family horseback riding business...we would’ve laughed till we cried.

But this is what life has done, that twister took us through childloss, financial crisis, mental and pysical health issues, nearly shattering our marriage. There were more times then we could count that we would dry out from one storm just to see clouds building. There were times when the violence of the storm was too much to battle so we would give in...but never really give in. I mean there was always something, one thing that kept us from being swept away, eachother.

Being part of a tight knit family, being connected to one another is what gets us through. We have spent the past decade on a total reverse of where we thought we would be. Take it from us, starting out after so many storms, being on our own without shelter and starting all over in our mid forties? TERRIFYING...but the BEST thing that we have ever done and we are never looking back.

Enter Discovering the Horse... Discovering, a pretty powerful word. When you think about discovering something what an endless possibility and together this crazy family is on mission. Together we have a unique map to surviving storms. We would never boast to be medical professionals, councellors and never claim to be therapists, but our story is a powerful one. We are survivors and our message is that through connection, change CAN happen. Together we have built programming where we have taken pieces of our lives and put them into the four pillars of our business that we have adapted from the genius of mentors. Josh Nichol talks about space, energy, pressure and mind in his horsemanship clinics. If you EVER get the chance to work with him...DO IT! Its those 4 areas that we thought...hey if this can work for the horses and in riders lives then it can work in EVERY aspect. We adopted them with thanks to Josh as our pillars and we operate under them.
