Equestrians and potters have a strange connection… we we are both happiest when covered in dirt! Our March 22nd show is being sponsored by the lovely Joan Rosenberg and will have some pieces of her work available for a lucky rider! Thank you Joan and we appreciate your skills in making the most amazing pieces out of “bits of dirt”. The riders will do their best to not eat dirt and win one of your amazing pieces 😍🤩🤠

Want to help the MES out? Take notes… 37474 This is the MES Co-op number. Use it when you fuel up and a portion of your purchase goes back to the MES! Way too easy! No skill testing questions required. 😉

Another sponsor announcement, Lani’s Baking Adventure! Not only is her amazing little bakery the cutest hidden gem in Metchosin, but one of the best tasting trail ride destinations in these parts. Tucked away on Herlihy place, this is always worth the trip!

Thank you Lani for your support and amazing baking!

Metchosin Equestrian Society in partnership with Manestream hosted Annika McGivern to learn new sports psychology skills. Big thank you to the District and Chief Dunlop for providing a warm, dry, distraction free place to learn! Very empowering to be one of the many users of this beautiful space.

On the topic of “thank you”… A deeply sincere thank you for Jane Stone and Cedar Vista Stables for our clinic yesterday. This fundraising event has “weathered the storm” and came out to be a huge success for both the MES and Vancouver Island Working Equitation. Thanks to all our riders and supporters who have really stepped up.

Goals were met and we are looking forward to getting some equipment upgrades in the works for our ring. ❤️❤️❤️

Metchosin Equestrian Society would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to PTASC and the District of Metchosin works crew for installing two mounting rocks, one on ether side of Rocky Point Road at the Happy Valley intersection. They look amazing and will certainly help riders navigate the busy intersection.

I would like to especially thank Ron Aubrey for taking the time to meet and chat about the best location and height to accommodate local equestrians.

On behalf of the Metchosin equestrian community. Thank You!! We look forward to using them.

We have had to postpone our clinic that was scheduled for February 2nd. Next Sunday February 9th it is! With the new date there are four openings in the riders groups. Because this event is not at the MES arena, membership with the MES is optional for participants. Please share this information with whomever may be interested in attending. Here’s the chance to ride inside the indoor arena at Cedar Vista with Jane Stone! A little bit about Jane;

Jane started coaching in her teens with Equine Canada certification which she built on over the years to Equestrian Canada Level 3 and NCCP High Performance 1 status. In 2017 Jane was awarded the Diploma of Equitation Science from Equitation Science International.
Coaching and training have been a life-long career for Jane with many local students and travelling throughout BC for clinics teaching Working Equitation, Jumping and Dressage while incorporating modern horse training principles of Equitation Science and Equine Learning Theory.

With the change of date, we were able to get Melanie Houston for a riding demonstration. She will play with the obstacles at the L7 Masters Level during our lunch break. This means one handed flying lead changes, canter pirouetting and some pretty impressive “dressage with obstacles” . Melanie is a Working Equitation Canada Level “B” judge, avid competitor and is one of our local riders that has big goals set for 2026. She has offered to ride the obstacles and explain any of the nuances from a judges and higher level of competition perspective. Including her own ride’s highlights and issues… awesome for the auditors, beginners and novice level riders alike.

Email Anna to get entered into the clinic ASAP at [email protected] . This is a fundraising event with all proceeds going directly to Vancouver Island Working Equitation and Metchosin Equestrian Society. Our amazing clinician and facility hosts are so appreciated and we are grateful for their time and support.

Cheers,

Metchosin Equestrian Society
