It was an honor to come back to Horseland Parc Équestre again this Victoria long weekend to introduce IMTCA Mountain Trail Obstacles to a new group of enthusiastic equestrians. Every horse and their human had many successes throughout the two days out in this exceptionally beautiful well thought out park. On Saturday we had an introduction of the IMTCA rules then we worked with the horses In-Hand with the obstacles. After lunch the clinic participants tacked up and worked under saddle with the obstacles. On Sunday we continued to work with obstacles In-Hand then had a mock challenge where participants had a chance to get evaluated on a pattern of the obstacles they worked on Saturday and Sunday. After lunch we worked with more obstacles under saddle then ended the day with another mock challenge under saddle. All weekend we witness was smiles, laugher and achievementds. A huge thank you goes to Mary Goodwin in coming with me again this year to help clinic participants achieve their goals.
Thank you Chantale Bastien for believing.❤️

I will be posting a video of the park.

While I was in Quebec, my home town and family farm was hit by a Derecho Storm with tornatic winds. This storm ripped through southern Ontario and caused wide spread electricity outages. We have been without power since Saturday and we have had limited phone service as well. Now that I have been home and our situation is a bit better, and while I have temporary data service, I want to share the news about Horseland Parc Equestre.

I had the privilege to lead a 2 day Introduction to IMTCA Mountain Trail clinic this past weekend at the newest certified IMTCA Canada park, Horseland Parc Équestre. Our host Chantal Bastien, her facility and park are absolutely 💯 outstanding. From the moment Mary and I arrived until we left, we were treated like family. Thank you Chantal for opening your world to IMTCA. Build it and they will come.

Participants of the clinic were excited to learn the Art of Mountain Trail. In the morning of Day 1 we presented them with a powerpoint session that touched on all the key areas of What is Mountain Trail and the IMTCA rules. The rest of the day they learned how to navigate all the obstacles In-Hand. It was wonderful to see the ah ha light bulb moments and to see everyone achieve their obstacle goals.

On Day 2 some participants started the day In-Hand while others started under saddle. More ah ha moments where achieved while navigating the obstacles under saddle. Watching people and their horses gain new confidence using IMTCA Mountain Trail Obstacles thrills me every time. I am very proud of each and everyone that participated in this clinic.

A huge Thank you to Mary Goodwin for being my right had gal throughout the whole clinic weekend. Could not have done it without you.

To my beautiful family, thank you for telling me that "everything is okay" just to keep me calm when I was in Quebec, when it really wasn't.

We are out here at our newest park Horseland Parc Équestre for an Introduction to IMTCA clinic today and tomorrow. Such a beautiful facility and a fantastic group of participants/auditors!

05/12/2022

Good morning all....
Looking to poll the group to gage interest in another virtual show/series.

Is anyone interested in a one, 3 month or more month virtual IMTCA Canada challenge?

What month/months would you want to see a challenge happen (we are toying with July as a single month and July/Aug/Sept as the possible 3 months).

We would love to offer this again as 2021 was such a big success but need enough people to join for it to be worth all of the background work that needs to be put into it.

So post wouldn't get lost we Added the picture of last year's virtual IMTCA Canada Mountain Trail Challenge

Thanks all

Happy Trails
Your IMTCA Canada Team
