I can honestly say that this year has been a wild ride! Because we picked up and moved our already established business from Fenelon falls to here, we had to move fast to get things in order and horse ready. We took an old unused and overgrown property and turned it into a functioning facility in a matter of weeks. And over this past year we have improved immensely!!!

We still have a long way to go, but in one year we have done a lot of work and I couldn’t be prouder of my family and the friends who encouraged and supported us through this process.

Our riding ring was overgrown with weeds taller than me. We pulled them out, found an entire shed buried underneath and got it functional. We dumped 93 tons of sand down and it’s a beautiful place to ride now. We took an overgrown unused ring and with the help of Jake our awesome neighbor, we made it beautiful. We have sweat, bled and cried.
We have built 10 stalls in an open shell of a barn and continue to improve on things every week.

We have cleaned up fencing, laid new gravel in the driveway, cleaned the loft of the barn up, learned how to cut our own hay and square bale it, put in a new sign, created paddocks and we still have more work to do! (This is all on top of daily operations and ongoing maintenance with nothing but our little friends and family group helping us)

Thank you to everyone who has helped and continues to support our growth. We look forward to another very productive year!
We couldn’t do many of the repairs or improvements without the help of good neighbors and friends!

We are so proud of the progress and dedication over this past year.

Beau is sooo happy to have found his new permanent retirement home! Thank you so much to his new Mum for giving him a wonderful opportunity to live his life in a pasture with some herd mates. We’re gonna miss you Beau but so happy for you! Buddy, you’re going to love it! 💕
Congratulations 🎉

To those who sent their young to war- Thank You
To those who trained the brave men and women to defend those who couldn’t defend themselves- Thank You
To those who made the ultimate sacrifice- Thank You
To those who rode valiantly into battle on the brave horses who carried their riders with poise and determination- Thank you.
To the horses: as you always have and will continue to be our faithful partners, till the end of time- thank you.

As we remember: on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, we sit in silence. We honour those who fought, we lost, and those who came home different. We honour your service and sacrifice.

Thank you.

It is with a heavy heart and a deep love that we laid our big beautiful Norman to rest tonight.
Norman was a shining light here at Hope Ranch. At the old age of 30, Norman has had the best retirement life with us. He taught a lot of kids how to ride. He brought our children and family joy for the past 4 yrs. He was very loved and an icon at the ranch.
“Stormin Norman” was a great boy. He will be greatly missed and forever loved. We laid him to rest and will dedicate his favourite tree to him in the coming weeks.

Please feel free to comment with your pics of Norm if you have any. 💕

We will forever love you Norman. Rest easy my ol boy.

This morning’s sunrise was so stunning.

We have a few horses available right now, to the right home.

Samson: a stunning all black draft gelding with every ounce of sweetness. This big guy is as gentle as they come! Trail boss and quiet! Healthy, sound and in excellent condition. 20 yrs old been there, done that kinda guy. Well broke to drive and ride. Loads of time has gone into this guy! He totes around kids and green rider and is very forgiving. Never gives more than he is asked.

Diamond: 20 yr old all white draft mare who needs her person! She is a very strong and healthy mare well broke to drive green to ride, but getting there. She really likes having a friend to work with. Sn**ch her up and train her your way. Excellent health, very sturdy and sound.

Beau: 24 yr old retired pasture puff. Beau is looking for a nice field to keep another horse company. He is sweet but shy. He is an excellent companion for another retired horse and can be a good babysitter to a youngin. He is looking for someone to adopt him and let him live his retirement in peace. The ideal situation for Beau is a private farm who can offer him a quiet field with a friend

PM for more details or to discuss any of these beautiful horses further.

as you know, we love to celebrate 🎉
Here’s a great reason to! Our Benny Boy is 25 today! Happy Birthday ol fella! Ben has been a great addition to our lesson program, helping kiddos gain confidence and knowledge. Sometimes he’s stubborn and refuses to move, but he always makes sure to take care of the kiddos. He has taught many beginners how to balance in their seat, he loves chasing cows, is the smoothest lope you’ll ever sit and just a great all rounder! Nik Cafovski loves him to bits!

let’s hope he continues to remain happy and healthy, enjoying his job!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNY! 🎉💓🥰

please welcome our newest additions, from a local farm that is downsizing

Our new Mini Max! He’s just the sweetest little hug.

Alex’s new Donkey (who he loves to bits!) Penelope (formerly Fiona)

And two male goats who needed a home:
After being headbutted in the butt, I aptly named these two Beavis and Butthead. 😂🤣

The perfect end to a great weekend. Beautiful weather, family visits, great Neighbors, wonderful rides, new additions…. More photos to come!

Breakfast time at Hope Ranch

The Hope Ranch crew set out for a long ride into Omemee today! We stopped in to Texas Burger Omemee Inc. and had a great visit with Andrew! Thanks for the hospitality ❤️😂

WANNA RIDE?? We have 2 spaces left for memberships! This is an all access program that allows you to come ride at your leisure. Like leasing a horse, without the strict schedule. We have 17 available horses to enjoy, all in varied experience levels. Must have horse experience and be a member of OE. Message for more details!

NEW SAND IN THE ARENA! We are so thankful for our wonderful Neighbour Jacob Corneil💕 you are a godsend to us and a great friend. #awesomeneighbors #ranchfamily #arena #newfreshlook

Well we have an issue that I didn’t think we would have to deal with but we’re currently building tiny squirrel ladders to get them out of the water trough. We had 5 drowned squirrels in a matter of a week! Today I caught one in time! Poor bugger! I dried him by the fire and when he quit shaking I put him in our big willow tree out front and am now building a little ladder to sit in the trough. Adds more work for us too cause every time one drowns, we dump and sanitize the trough so 5x this week we have had to do this. Little guy is gonna make it I hope.

Banjo’s final day at Hope Ranch

Banjo found his forever home today! We are SO PROUD OF YOU BANJO! You have come so far, overcome so much and today you are off on your new forever journey being loved on by a wonderful family! We love you Banjo! Congratulations 🥳

On this foggy day, the air was warm and the ground cold, some of the boys were feeling frisky! It was nice to see them running and playing like this! They ran around the field for about 15 mins and this was the tail end of their fun! Let’s keep in mind that every one of them that was playing in this little group is pushing 20+ yrs old! They must have all been feeling good! Sure don’t act like they are senior citizens!
