Are you one of our advanced riders looking for a show horse to lease? This post is for you! We have some lovely, well seasoned show horses available for in barn part or full lease starting December 1.

1) Yoki Doki, a fabulous 3 ring horse. If medals and equitation are your thing he’s your guy!

2) Touchstone aka Queen Keena, the best 0.90m horse you could have the most fun on!

3) Captain Nemo, suitable for x rails up to 3’0. The best teacher for riders just starting their show careers.

All 3 horses are very well broke on the flat with auto changes and good lateral work. They are a pleasure to ride! Talk to your coach if you are interesting in pursuing a lease!

Reddie came to us in the middle of the night during a snow storm. No horse has fit right into the lesson program quite so seamlessly as he did. He became a fast favourite and was one of the safest most reliable horses we’ve had. It is fitting that he left us during a snowfall, thankfully not in the middle of the night! He had the kindest nature and took care of everyone lucky enough to ride him. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts and we are all going to miss him very much. Rest easy Reddie to Rumble, thank you for everything ❤️❤️❤️l

We have 3 lovely kitties staying with us in need of a new home. All three are fixed and up to date on everything. They are free and come with everything. They are 2 and 4 years old. The 2 males need to stay together as they are bonded, the female could go to a separate home. They are currently at Blarney Stone so come by and meet them if you’re interested!
