Hello to our competitors for the November 3 Meadowlarke South Schooling Show. Following are the rider and horse assignments for each of the divisions. The Starter and Beginner divisions have been split into two flights each due to the number of entries. This has helped accommodate as many horse preferences as possible whilst also ensuring that none of the horses are being overworked during the day.
A few days before the show we will send out some timing approximations to all competitors to help you plan your show day.

UPDATE: A NAME HAS BEEN CHOSEN. It is Kenzi which means My Treasure in Arabic. I think Momma Eve would like that. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions and Especially to Balsam Bakir for the winning name :)
As some of you already know we had a surprise at Meadowlarke North. One of our unhandled rescues Eve, had a foal. She didn't even look fat !! Sadly animals go for slaughter pregnant all the time. Eve and her foal are one of the lucky ones. We now need a name. Eve's foal is a filly and is calm and confident. I look forward to seeing your suggestions :)

Finally getting around to announcing the names of our newest pigs. Please meet Anita and Jenny. They are named after two of the finest activists I know !! Anita started the Save Movement which is now a worldwide organization and has followed that up with The Plant Based Treaty. Encouraging citizens and cities worldwide to adopt policies that are better for the environment, healthier for humans and of course kinder to the animals. Jenny is a force of nature always at the forefront of actions to raise awareness about animal cruelty, from pig farming to fur farming. She has put herself at risk many times trying to expose the animal cruelty hidden behind the shed walls of factory farms. Both of these pigs have settled in well and are doing a great job advocating for their kind. They had been breeding pigs, a horrendous system of moving the mother pigs between gestation crates, while they are pregnant and farrowing crates for birthing and feeding their piglets for the short time they are together. Once their production declined they are sent to slaughter in the USA. A long trip with no food or water. We managed to rescue Anita and Jenny at the sorting facility. They have been part of some barn tours and have done a great job advocating for their kind :)

Hello to our Beginner Division riders. Following are the questions that you need to research for the Command Class. Although you will only be asked one question you need to know all the answers as it is at the judge’s discretion as to which question you will be asked.

Last month we rescued two mother pigs. They had been in the factory farm system in Ontario and used for breeding. Pigs used for breeding are commonly administered PMSG to increase the number of babies they have. PMSG is derived from the blood of pregnant horses, the collection process is unregulated and abuse of the mares is rampant. Because breeding pigs reach maturity, the regular slaughterhouses cannot accommodate their size. These two mama pigs were being shipped for slaughter to the United States, we are not sure exactly where, but it can be as far away as Texas. They have no food or water on the trucks . They had spent their pregnancies and short time as mothers (7 to 20 days depending on the system the farmer uses) in crates so small that they could not turn around. They would have spend 2 to 3 years in these crates before being culled. I had to pick two ladies out of hundreds, it is so sad. Our lucky ladies are enjoying their new home and getting to meet Margaret and Justice. They need names. I look forward to your suggestions !!

Due to the Winter Storm Warning issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada for Friday March 22nd we have decided to cancel all lessons tonight at South and North locations.

Level 2 and above riders please direct your make-up inquiries and bookings by email to the office.

Learn to Ride program riders will be contacted by the office to schedule a makeup date for tonight's lesson

SATURDAY March 23rd - Morning and afternoon lessons - we will advise by 7am if morning lessons (9am to 1pm) are cancelled, and by 11 am if afternoon lessons (2pm to 6pm) are cancelled.

We are monitoring the storm closely as we would like to avoid cancelling lessons if at all possible.

Please do not hesitate to contact the office if you have any questions.

Stay safe and warm everyone.
