2022 filly by Beau Balou available at a reduced price due to personal difficulties.

Rosie is a sweet young mare expected to finish 16.3 or 17hh. She exudes elegance when she moves.

She is currently living out in a herd of mares, but has also been in a mixed herd. She's a bit of an attention hog and can be pushy with the other horses, but is not mean or rude.

I'm open to any reasonable offer for a quick sale, and I can include some training/backing in her price if desired.

Please contact me with any questions.

Some more bonnets I've been working on recently.
1+2) "Devil"- red bonnet with xl ears to look like horns. Horse size
3) Cotton candy colours with purple ears and a curly, multicoloured forelock. Cob/sm horse
4) Triceratops! I love this one. I intended for it to be small pony/mini, but I don't have a pony to fit model it for me.
5) Teal and grey. Horse size. No ears, but they could be added.
6) Grey and purple/blue. Lg horse/x-full, ears could be added.

Currently in the works: pumpkin, witch, plain with red and white ears (right and left, respectively), Christmas colours.

Free riding opportunity including lessons available to the right candidate in Ancaster.

Due to an injury I'm going to be out of the saddle for at least a few weeks, possibly longer.
I'm looking for a rider who wants to come help me fit up a young green mare that I'm hoping will get out showing SOCTA this year, a broodmare who needs to be brought back in to work, and possibly an opportunity to help restart an OTTB to prep her for sale.

This would be an ideal opportunity for an older pony clubber, college student looking for saddle time etc...

The caveat is that I have no indoor arena, so riding time will be limited by weather and daylight.

Please email with any questions.

I could not be more proud of my horse after this weekend.
I took Violet to the Can-Am All Breeds Equine Expo as the ambassador for the Irish Draught Horse Society of Canada. As many of you know, she's an Irish Draught Sport Horse by Rhyd's Sea Quest and out of my Thoroughbred mare Hope's First Love.

This mare is rising 6, and the Ancaster Fairgrounds were the 3rd and 4th indoor arenas she's ever seen. She had look-y moments, but overall she settled in and behaved herself like this is what she was meant to do. She ate, drank, and laid down -all things that some horses will refuse to do in a new setting.

She delighted the crowds. She was an absolute ham, injecting herself in to any conversation that was happening too close to the turnout pen, and calling people over when she felt ignored. I think she showed a lot of people why we call her "the 1400lb labrador"

She's happy to be back home, but I have a feeling that she's going to start demanding that I find her large audiences to admire her on a regular basis.

To the students I've seen this week:
I seem to have lost the hat in this picture at some point this week. It's very sentimental, so I'd really appreciate it if you would keep an eye out for me.

Thanks!

I need to call out two riders whose horsemanship was the highlights of my day:
laskowski challenged herself today and did something new. They went in to the ring and had a decent trip around the ring in their first course, and for whatever reason, Sonic absolutely shut down in his second trip. We checked him over, schooled through it, and ultimately had a hilarious, unconventional first, with a well-deserved, huge cheering section. But what I'm really proud of is her mindset. She had the right attitude going in, and when something was off, I never wondered whether she'd second guess me if we decided to scratch. Ultimately the problem wasn't physical and we kept plugging away, and it paid off. If she was frustrated with her pony, no one would have known it. She treated him with all of the concern and dignity that anyone deserves when they're having a hard time.

And in my evening lesson, Stacey ultimately made the decision to end our session early, because Hallie was not herself. She wasn't obviously lame, but she was obviously not quite right. It would have been easy to say she just needs to get over it, she just needs to work harder etc. But we took her back to the barn and stretched her out, and found a small but tender spot in the middle of her back. She may have rolled on some frozen mud and bruised it, or maybe she slipped a bit and tweaked something. Maybe it's even thr kind of thing another horse wouldn't be bothered by. But Hallie was bothered, and she's not another horse.

Both ladies made me very proud today. ❤

There are plenty of ways that living outside full time benefits the horses. One of the ways it benefits me is that everyone is tucked in to their blankets with a full, heated trough, the feeders have about 36 hours worth of hay, they'll get their grain a bit early, and hopefully I'll be home on the couch before the snow starts.

01/10/2024

I have openings for a few lessons tomorrow afternoon/evening and Friday daytime and afternoon.
