Wow what a lovely spring day! First trip hauling in the new trailer was a huge success. Took the ponies down to hoofbeat hill for a little time in the indoor and everyone was super! Then a couple lessons in the sunshine to round out the night 😁

Snow storm ponies ❄️ ⛄️ ❤️ don’t worry - they have plenty of hay and clean, heated water. They also have adequate shelter that they choose not to use. 🙄

Happy gotcha week to two of the herd members! Waffles 2 year anniversary with us was Monday while Rory has been a member for one year as of Friday! So proud of these additions and all that they have accomplished in their time here so far! Can’t wait to see what they do in 2025.
Fun fact: Waffles and Rory are the two youngest horses in our herd!

After taking some time to process, we are ready to share that Amira has been put to rest.
She was purchased last year for Scotia in November 2023 and was a real delight to have in our pasture. She continued to teach valuable lessons of patience and kindness and of course how to correctly give a treat to all the kiddos she got to meet. She became a gentle favorite to plenty of riders that she met here and has touched a much wider audience in her nearly 3 decades of life.
She will be missed, she will be remembered and she has been buried on the farm to remain in the lush grass which she loved. We also have a photo plaque which was made in her honour which students will be able to see and enjoy her face hanging in our barn for years to come.
Thank you for your service to our community old sweet girl. 💐 👼

As we approach the end of the year here is a quick look into a proud moment for each of our lesson horses this year!
Rory - has been coming leaps and bounds with her training, so many firsts this year for her, but specifically she went for training under groundworks.
Cobalt - cobalt got two photo mentions for both walking Morgan to the aisle on her wedding day, and taking to the beach for a lovely adventure late summer.
Jellybean - came quite far in settling down this season, she made some successful moves in both the English and western competition rings.
Kevin - a new addition but a big and hearty one, Kevin is learning how to be a lesson horse and not spook at everything he sees including those spooky small ponies.
Moxie - the little red mare despite being off for several months due to soreness made some nice runs this season in several different gymkhana rings.
Georgia - has been an angel of an addition to the team, she takes everything in stride and is a real confidence booster, a highlight of her year was going to her first show and pulling a ribbon in the jump rounds!
Karma - another newbie on our team, she took some time off this fall for an injury but also took two students around their first fun show patterns and continues to be a barn favorite.
Amira - lastly but not least miss Amira is being highlighted for taking her last kiddo on a riding lesson before being completely retired out of all mounted programs.
Can’t wait to see what the little unicorns get up to in 2025.

Another successful hay day! 630 bales loaded into the loft this morning smoothly and quickly with 10 volunteers on hand. Huge thank you to everyone who helped out. It takes a village to run a farm and we have a pretty good one here at Scotia 😁

After 11 months with this mare I felt it was time to give her another recognition post. Though she is not part of the program she tries her heart out at everything she does. From the first interactions in late January to wearing a saddle, carrying a rider and long lining this summer she’s come so far and we are so proud of her progress.
When Rory arrived you could not catch her, lead her, brush her, pick her feet, any of the basics. She’s now a solid citizen and preparing for her career as a riding horse in the future.

The faces of determination! Day 2 of our fall variety fun show was western themed! Another great judge, great turn out, great weather, great kids and parents, and fantastic horses. I’m pooped but my heart is so full. I couldn’t be more proud of our team and community.
