They are never just RIDING SCHOOL PONIES❤️🐴

One day you may move onto bigger, fancier horses, but never forget the school horse who made you, as without them, you wouldn’t be able to ride anything at all.

The patient soul that tolerated your bouncing while you figured out how to sit the trot.

The kind mare that didn’t walk off when you stumbled up the mounting block, trying to get your foot in the stirrup.

The sweet gelding that picked up the trot even though your body was telling him to do the exact opposite.

The saintly angel that never spooked, which was a dam good thing because your balance was precarious at best.

Too often we forget where we came from. We move on to the next chapter in our lives and say, “Oh my gosh, I’m learning so much! I’m going so far! I could never do this kind of thing on that old school horse!”

But infact you could, you were just not ready to do all these things back then.

But that school horse gave you the confidence to move forward. That school horse took care of you in all respects and allowed you to take the time you needed to find your way. You couldn’t have become the rider you are today without that riding school horse, always remember to love them unconditionally for our riding school horses are what help start your dream, make dreams come true and get you ready for those bigger dreams 🐴

Happy Canada Day!! 🇨🇦

Rain date for our SPS Trilogy will be Sunday July 28th.
Mark Your Calendars 🐴🏆

We appreciate everyone's support with our call to postpone our show due to the crazy weather. Safety of our riders and horses is so important.

We hope most can make our new date. We fully understand that like us, everyone's summers are packed. So know that we can't find a date that everyone can make. We will post more info in the coming days as we can refund entry fees to those who can't make the new date.
Happy horse showing!!

When given lemons we make lemonade!

We made the very tough call last night to postpone our Trilogy show that was scheduled for today due to the crazy weather... it became unsafe to ask horses and riders to perform.

So when you have everything set to go and the most amazing team of volunteers and parents .... we run a "mock" trilogy show for our own show team! Of course we had to pivot and bring the jumps into the indoor but they all trooped around in the mud for their dressage tests. Great learning and so much fun! We finished with a great pizza lunch!
Definitely not quality photos but so much fun!

We will be posting our rain date shortly and we hope most will be able to join us when we try this again!!

The Trilogy at Seven Pines Stables has been POSTPONED for tomorrow (june 23) due to the weather. With the crazy amounts of rain and the very nasty forecast for tomorrow, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the show. The safety of horses and riders and all involved is first and foremost. Emails were sent out to all competitors earlier this evening. We will be in touch as soon as a new date is set. Thank you

06/23/2024

IMPORTANT: We are going to POSTPONE tomorrow's Trilogy show at Seven Pines Stables --- Due to the weather -- the crazy rain today, and the severe thunderstorms that are now scheduled to roll through the majority of tomorrow, we feel that for the safety of our riders and their horses we are going to make the difficult decision to postpone tomorrow's show. We will be in touch once we set another date.
An email will be sent tonight. Please share with anyone you know that is showing as we don't want people coming to find no show running. Thank you for your understanding

Reminder to all riders showing at the Trilogy show this Sunday at Seven Pines Stables. Your office fees need to be paid for your entry to be considered complete.

We apologize for the computer glitch and know it is an inconvenience but appreciate that you follow the directions in the email you would have received from Compete Easy and pay the office fee.

We hope this will all be done so we may post ride times on Thursday.

Looking forward to hosting everyone for the first Trilogy Show of the season!

Just a friendly reminder that due to a computer glitch the office fee was not added to most entries for Sundays show at Seven Pines Stables. Each rider would have received an invoice where it can be paid by clicking through (very easy).

Entries are not considered complete until the office fee has been paid through Compete Easy.
Many of the riders have made this payment but there are still quite a few outstanding. We know it is a bit of an inconvenience but if you could please get the office fees paid to finalize your entry so that we can post ride times on Thursday.

We look forward to a great show on Sunday.
