There's nothing quite like horseback riding in early September! 🌲🍂 With cooler temperatures and fewer bugs, it’s the perfect time to hit the trails and enjoy nature at its best. The leaves are just beginning to change, adding a splash of color to the serene, forested paths.

Whether you're riding with friends, family, or just taking some time for yourself, there's something magical about connecting with these gentle giants in such a beautiful setting.
And the good news? We still have spaces available in our regular lesson program! Whether you're new to horseback riding or looking to build on your existing skills, our lessons are designed to help you grow in confidence, improve your technique, and most importantly, have fun.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to experience the joy of horseback riding this season. Join us and see the beauty of the trail for yourself!
A really nice 6.5km ride. What a beautiful day! Cant believe this is the last week of summer already….. met some pretty amazing people this summer and always sucks to say goodbye.
Tanya learned how to braid a show tail for the very first time, and she did an amazing job! Her hard work and attention to detail really paid off, creating a beautiful braid that showcases her new skills. Well done, Tanya!
Let's talk about a common sight in our neighborhoods: horses pooping on public roads and trails. Before anyone gets too worked up, here are a few facts to put things in perspective:
1. **It's Completely Natural**: Horses are herbivores, which means their droppings are just digested grass and hay. Unlike dog waste, horse manure doesn't contain harmful pathogens that can contaminate water sources or pose health risks to humans.
2. **Biodegradable and Beneficial**: Horse manure is organic and decomposes quickly, turning into nutrient-rich compost that benefits the soil. It's a natural fertilizer that helps plants grow, which is why it's often used in gardens and farms.
3. **Part of Country Living**: If you live in a rural area or near equestrian trails, seeing horse droppings is part of the landscape. Horses and riders have been using these spaces for decades, long before cars took over.
4. **Minimal Environmental Impact**: Unlike motor vehicles, horses don’t emit greenhouse gases or leave behind toxic residue. A bit of manure here and there is a small price to pay for enjoying the scenic beauty and peacefulness that horses bring to our roads and trails.
So, next time you see some 'road apples,' remember—they're just a harmless reminder of our beautiful, shared spaces with these majestic animals. Let's appreciate them for what they are and enjoy the ride!"

Every one of them showed incredible dedication, pouring their hearts into every competition. They uplifted one another, celebrated each other's successes, and faced challenges with grace. Watching them compete and support each other was a testament to their growth, not just as riders but as individuals who embody the spirit of teamwork and perseverance.

Ever had a hard time explaining what BEMER is and does❓ Here's a great, quick explanation... The BEMER Horse-Set has been proven to have a positive impact on your horse’s body. Through optimally configured coils in the horse blanket, the leg cuffs and the neck applicator, the patented BEMER Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) signal operates through a magnetic field on the body of the horse. The signal encourages an increase in microcirculation throughout the horse’s body. While increased microcirculation is important for sport horses’ conditioning and recovery, all horses benefit from BEMER, including trail horses, pasture potatoes, companions and retirees. Book now for any Bemer treatments your horse(s) need this winter. Currently accepting new clients.
