6 years ago today we added Phillip and Bree to our family. Today we said Until we meet again.
A little longer than 6 years ago we managed to see a post online saying old riding horses needing a home, don’t want to send to the meat man with a phone number. Within an hour the post was removed but we had already made a call and arranged to go meet them. I was injured from some sort of horse accident but Emi came with to ride them and certify they were sane broke old guys.
Within days of them coming home Phillip proved himself invaluable, he moved into lessons with complete and utter ease. Bree took a little longer to get into the swing of things but Phillip knew something about Bree that we didn’t right away. Bree was partly blind. Once we realized that we got to work helping Bree gain as much confidence as he could to help him find his way in a world he couldn’t entirely see.
Over the years they both impacted hundreds of lives. Bree wasn’t confident being a kids horse for very long so older and bigger riders that helped him feel more supported became something he appreciated. Phillip would always be the first to the gate if we needed someone for a lesson. Phillip found his passion in Medieval Games- in another life he would have chosen to be a jousting horse, charging to the quintain and proudly bearing a rider with a sword or spear. Both of them however loved trail rides the best. We never got to experience their first love- riding in the mountains, but we took them on every trail ride that we could. They were sure footed and eager, diligently following the trail and keeping together, boosting the confidence of the most timid of riders on the trail.
These two beautiful souls were bonded long before we had the privilege of joining them to our hearts. Due to their age and how much they relied on one another it was the talk of years about what would happen when it was time to say goodbye to one of them. Phillip helped Bree feel confident in facing his fears, in dealing with the darkening world, whenever Bree would come in he would call to check where Phillip was. When we took one and left the other behind they would get so excited to see another appy or another red head. As this year progressed we knew that the time was coming soon, they were both getting tired, their bodies were failing and we knew that if we said goodbye to one that the other would mourn so much that they would suffer. Together they’re at peace, running through the skies to join our growing herd in the heavens.

"But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the
Great Story, which no one on earth has read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before." From the Chronicles of Narnia Last Battle CS Lewis.

Thank you Kaitlyn Clark for helping memorialize them forever.

Facebook has limited what I can put on one post so we’ll see what I can add to comments! We had a Blast at this years mounted games competition! All our competitors this year have practised lots and come a long way! One even trained her own pony for this years games! There was tons of laughs, and phenomenal demonstrations of team work! Can’t wait for the next one!

07/24/2024

The second new-to us- game hosted at this years Mounted Games Competition might just be the one we are Most excited about watching people participate in- Hula Hoop. Hop off your horse and put yourself completely through the hoop while your partner holds your horse and then leave the hoop inside the pylons and remount so you can cross the changeover line- turn back and your partner can have their turn through the hoop while you hold their horse. A true challenge of teamwork, athleticism and cooperation! There’s still time to grab a partner and the forecast for Saturday looks to be in our favour! See you then!

Welcome to Summer!
Much like during the winter we do have policies in place for when it gets too hot! Extreme temperatures are both unpleasant and risk ours and the horses health and safety in the event of temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius we adjust our lesson plans to allow for more thought provoking riding exercises to make sure strenuous exercise is kept to a minimum, at 35 degrees Celsius we do cancel classes and will message everyone to advise as such. Please make sure to bring fluids, stay hydrated and use sunscreen as needed! (We do have bottled water available as needed)
Thank you to everyone who is worried about the horses in the heat. We make sure that they have areas to get out of the sun, electrolytes and ready access to water

Our students put in many long hours to be ready for the Equestrian Southern Alberta Games hosted at Scott’s Barn and we couldn’t be happier with how they exhibited themselves and their horses. Goals were met and defeated, hurdles overcome, hiccups dealt with and triumphed! It is the most beautiful thing to see these kids grow in front of your eyes. To watch them in tears of stress, fear, frustration and then come back in the arena and give their all and then to come out with big smiles and cheers of triumph! Some of the riders ended up on horses that they’ve only had a few weeks to get to know, one rider had a last minute change on the day of to a horse she’s never ridden before. You guys are amazing! Well done!

The Southern Alberta Summer Games are approaching quickly so we invited out a bunch of our students for a day of cleaning and show prep. They helped us accomplish some spring cleaning and spent a few hours helping clean their equipment for the show! We have a great crew of students eager to be involved in as much as they can of horse handling and care! You are all super awesome!

We’ve had a busy couple weeks as things have started warming up. We travelled up to Equine Haven for a jumping show last weekend and this weekend several of our riders competed in the finals of the Taber Gymkhana Winter Series! It’s amazing to see so many of these riders grow and learn and keep pushing forward to accomplishing their dreams. Some of them had rough rides, and some of them had the best rides of their lives and I’m proud of each one of them for putting in the work and the time to chase their passions and continue to grow!
Well done!! We’re so proud of each one of you!

Happy Canada Day!!! We hope everyone has a great day dancing in the rain! A reminder that there is no classes today due to the holiday or Friday July 5 due to the Southern Alberta Summer Games

Bill is doing much better, he is working his way off of mush and back on to solid foods. Thank you everyone for your concern, every available eye has been on him and he’s had some little visitors come out to tell him to not be sick anymore. He got a chance to stretch his legs in the arena today and he had lots to tell us about how he feels

Keeping track of horses ages is difficult. Unless your horse has registration papers that miraculously travel with them through the duration of their lives or their previous owners managed to pass on the details of their birth consistently, most horses end up with a rough estimate of age never mind a birth date. When our horses come home we are usually given an age; which a look at their teeth may be able to give a rough estimate on accuracy. This leaves us ageing them up a year on New Years Day. Instead we prefer to honour their Gotcha Days, the day they blessed our lives by becoming part of our Equi9 family. Happy Gotcha day Myster E, we’ve been blessed to have you as part of our family for 6 years, which makes you roughly 29 years old. In good news, ponies like little dogs often experience a longer life span than their larger counterparts, we look forward to many more years with the Myster Man blessing the lives of all sorts of riders. *Myster E is the taller buckskin pony (tan and black) in the video with his friends Jack the dark bay, Sparrow the light bay, Bill the silver pony with a ton of hair and little Petrie.

With the small reprieve in weather we made sure to bring in the horses for a chance to get out of the snow and blankets for a chance to roll, move around and socialize. These three are some of our older horses, the sorrel and Appaloosa that are together - Phillip and Bree- have been herd mates in various homes for roughly 25 years from what we have been able to find of their history. They are very bonded and are rarely seen apart if they can help it. The other sorrel is Paddington, he has been a bit fussy about companions but seems to feel less threatened and more companionable to the quiet nature of Phillip and Bree.

We love our ponies for lessons, they allow so much independence for kids who don’t need someone taller to brush, tack up for them and have a much easier time getting on and off independently. This little guy Bill came home from the auction 5 years ago after being found running wild and free, just look at him now with his little girl. Bill can be found participating in gymkhanas, open shows, pony and tot classes and is a hot favourite with many of our lesson students. Who else has a pony worth their weight in gold?

It’s time for Mounted Games this Saturday at Scott’s Barn. Grab your partner and your horses for some relay games and cash prizes starting at 9am! We can’t wait to see you there!

We have one more day of camp this Tuesday! The last camp for the year is Gymkhana Camp, and it’s shaping up to be a great one with the perfect forecast! Let us know quickly if you want anyone signed up, we only have a couple spots left!!

Our Mounted Games Competition is coming up on August 26! It’s $50 per team to compete, and either $2 or $5 per game - 10 games- 70% of the pay in for each game goes to the winners of the game and the remaining 30% pays out to the overall winners. We can’t wait to see you on August 26!

Mounted Games Round Two- August 26! We had so much fun last time that it would be a shame to not have another games day this year! Grab your partner and make sure you both save the date, we’ll have the games list up quickly!

The Mounted Games Competition was a blast! We had a good mash up of ages and skills and almost everyone walked away with some prize money. Congratulations to Team Too Fast and Too Furious for walking away as this games champions! Who thinks we should have another games day this year??

Congratulations to Kayla Oussoren for winning our Easter giveaway! We will be in contact. Thank you to everyone who entered and we wish everyone a Happy Easter!!
