🌸🐴We had another amazing day with some strong and confident individuals.
Our day focused on self identity and being authentic to ourselves. Each participant was asked to crumple up and leave behind something mean that has ever been said about them. They were then asked to answer positive questions and carry their answers forward not only in the exercises, but also in life. 🐴🌸

Our next event is on May 13th for a fun day of Mother figure - daughter figure bonding!

✨We had an AMAZING Girl’s Day this past Friday. ✨🐴

12 amazing teenagers came out and learned about inclusivity and teamwork through a full morning of EAL. It was truly amazing to watch them grow together to accomplish their goals as a team. We can not wait to continue on with these workshops! 😁

Stay tuned for a list of upcoming Spring dates!!🌸🐴🌸

Todays questions were answered by an amazing teenage girl that has been with us since the beginning as well. She has helped with many EAL sessions as both a volunteer and participant. She has a great attitude and will always look for ways to help out around the farm.🐴

1.What's your favourite thing about horses?
Getting to just be around them and go for trail rides in the summer.

2. Who is your favourite horse?
I like Splaash & Shadow.
Shadow because she's nice to work with and just brush and go for walks with. It's fun to teach her new things.
Splaash because he listens well to me and he is nice and friendly to people.

3.What has EAL/riding lessons taught you?
How to work with them and learn about their personalities. We get to learn how to take care of them and it is fun to ride with friends.

This week’s questions were answered by a young man that has just started EAL with us in January. He is a man of very few words, but he should be extremely proud of what he has been able to accomplish over the past few weeks. I am so excited to see his journey continue! 🐴

1. What is your favourite thing about horses?
“They’re cool”

2. Who is your favourite horse and why?
“Pepper - She listens really well to me and she stays close to me. We are starting to understand eachother”.
(We previously talked about how horses will stay by you if they feel comfortable and trusting of you.)

3. What has EAL taught you?
Learning about leadership and creative problem solving.

1.What's your favourite thing about horses?
"I feel like they really understand me, and they are really really kind to me."
2. Who is your favourite horse?

"It has taught me a lot about horses and how they listen to me. "

*Posted with permission*

Please meet Emelia (Em)!
This amazing girl has been with us since day one as a riding student, volunteer, EAL assistant, and all round great helper! Her smile is infectious and she will always give you something to laugh about!

1. What’s your favourite thing about horses?
“You can connect with them and talk to them about anything. They understand how I feel when I’m sad.”

2. Who is your favourite horse and why?
“As much as I love Pepper, I have to pick Shadow. She’s the horse I connected with the most and I always come and talk with her whenever I’m here.”

3. What has EAL/riding lessons taught you?
“Patience. Lol. I have learned that I have to be patient to work with horses. I have also gained confidence in myself. Before, I thought I would never be able to ride a horse, and now, I am doing really well! I just love coming here and getting to be around all the horses. And I also LOVE Heather’s cooking.”

01/31/2023

What do you call 6 friends, 2 horses, and a ton of laughter?

A GREAT EAL session!

Huge thank you to this amazing group of friends that came out for their VERY first equine assisted learning session. They were able to experience firsthand what EAL is all about! 🐴

Meet a Horse (Friend) Monday 🐈🐈

Please meet Frankie & Hazel!!

These sisters are the last of our farm family. They typically spend their days doing checkups on the horses and of course, securing the grounds for any rodents. If you happen to be sitting around the barn, they will be sure to find you and do their best to get scratches and cuddles. 🥰🐈

Fun fact: Hazel used to be wary of people but she has since come around to be just as friendly as her sister.

01/26/2023

Over the past few months we have had, and continue to have the opportunity to work with some great clients. From kids with learning set backs to adults healing from trauma, and everyone in between. I have been asking the same questions to each of them and will be sharing their answers anonymously one person at a time.

I figured I would go first to start things off!

Who is your favourite horse and why?
-Joey. I used to compete and work with a horse named Patrick almost a decade ago (He has since passed). He was also a bay thoroughbred with no fancy markings, but legs for days. There was always a ‘goofball’ side to him and it was paired with a heart that never stopped. With Joey, I saw the same traits and was instantly drawn to him. I guess you could say I have a type lol.

What is your favourite thing about horses?
-They don’t judge you based on your past or where you come from, but they will judge you for how you treat them in the moment. They have a way of grounding you while lifitng you up at the same time. No matter what, at the end of the day they will always be there for you (waiting to be fed).

What has EAL/riding lessons taught you?
-Confidence starts from within yourself - from there, you are unstoppable. Seeing my clients grow and find their voice is something I will never take for granted.

Meet a Horse (Friend) Monday ❤️🐶

Please meet Brownie!!

For those who have been to our farm, you know Brownie is the first to welcome you to our property! She will instantly become your best friend at the price of a belly rub. This girl isn’t used in our programs, but she is a warm addition to our team and will always be there if you need extra cuddles or a good laugh.

Fun fact: she “prays” with us at every meal and even has her own chair at the table.

01/16/2023

Welcome back to Meet a Horse Monday ❤️🐴

Please meet Our last but definitely NOT least…DAISEY🌼

Little Miss Daisey is a Shetland Pony approximately in her late teens-early twenties.

This girl is one of the very first members of our herd. She is a veteran when it comes to EAL (Equine Assisted Learning). Don’t let her size fool you! She can be full of s***k when needed and will always race around with the others. Daisey is used for those who want to develop their confidence working with horses. He size makes her a perfect companion to smaller children as well.

Fun Fact: she has the thickest mane of all the horses and we try to keep it braided in the summer to help keep her cool 😎.
(If anyone loves braiding ponies, please drop by!)

Meet a Horse Monday ❤️🐴

Please meet Pepper

This beautiful girl is the newest member of our herd. She is 12yrs old and starting to settle in nicely here. Currently she is being used for beginner riding lessons and is really gaining her experience and confidence. We can’t wait to get her out on the trails as she will be a great horse to go exploring with!

Fun Fact: she is Heather Keith Burns’s dream horse colour. ❤️

Meet a Horse Monday ❤️🐴🏇🏻

Please meet Joey

This 18yr old boy is used in our riding program and some EAL demonstrations. He’s not the biggest fan of hugs and cuddles -similar to his owner- but he does love having a job and being put to work. He is a retired race horse and we will often catch him racing through the fields as if to say, “my best days aren’t behind me yet.” There is a noticeable spark of joy in him when he is taken for trail rides and given the opportunity to run his heart out. 🐎🐎

Fun fact: candy canes are his favourite treat and he can hear their wrapper from a mile away.

11/28/2022

Meet a Horse Monday 🐴❤️

Please meet Caramel!!

This lovely girl is now living out her peaceful retirement in our fields. We use Caramel in majority of our EAL sessions since she is so loving and gentle to everyone. Caramel will often be the first one to investigate something new in the barn or field. She is extremely curious by nature and has given us plenty to laugh about with her expressions.

Fun Fact: she used to be an excellent show jumper

11/24/2022

Got to be a part of this amazing day at Sky Blue Acres! It was amazing to see the transformation of these gr.11 students from Guelph's very own Centennial College. The day was all about leadership, communication and as always, TEAMWORK. Talk about a great workshop for SHSM.

11/21/2022

‘Meet a Horse’ Monday ❤️🐴.

Please meet Splaash.

This special boy belongs to Deb Hastings & Emma Stack. He is 26 years young and acts even younger. He is an absolute suck for cuddles and extra treats. If you want a horse with good looks and manners to match, then he is your boy!

Fun fact: He absolutely LOVES timbits.

Welcome to 'Meet a Horse Monday'!!

Please meet Shadow.

This girl is in her mid 20's and is undoubtedly the lead mare of our herd.

We love watching Shadow at work because she is the true embodiement of a good leader. In the horse world, they simply don't tolerate bad ones.

Although we call her Shadow, her true name might be STUBBORN. She is always teaching us lessons of patience and determination. Which is why we love using her with teenagers that may also go by "Stubborn".

Fun Fact: Shadow has somehow learned the trick of 'smiling' on demand.😁🐴

10/28/2022

Congratulations to Heather Keith Burns on her new horse, Pepper! We are so excited to welcome this little mare and can’t wait to get to know her more. 🐴🥰 ❤️🐴

🐴Last Saturday we hosted our first ever full day retreat with Dufferin Wellington FASD. This day was all about self care and appreciation for caregivers to children with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). These amazing caregivers were well deserving of this relaxing and fun day. We put them through a few EAL exercises that highlighted teamwork and non-verbal communication skills. 🙊

There were lots of good laughs and it was such a rewarding experience 🌻

A great evening of communication and trust between this group. Learning when to take the leadrope (literally) and when to sit back and trust your partner was a key element. I‘d say they absolutely nailed it 🌟🐎

Looking for a fun and unique date night?! 🤔
Send us a message to book a fantastic experience! 🐎🐎

Had an absolute blast with these two couples! Whether you’re married or just started dating, there is always more your can learn about eachother and yourself! We put these couples through exercises that were based on trust and communication and ended the session with a fun competition of boys vs girls.
