Parkeridge Stable

Parkeridge is a full service equine boarding facility located less than 10 minutes south of Port Elgin, Ontario along the scenic shores of Lake Huron.

Parkeridge has been boarding horses for many years and is known for exceptional care, knowledgeable staff and a non-competitive atmosphere. Our aim is to create a safe, natural environment where horses happily socialize with paddock mates and thrive in a peaceful setting.

We are sorry to have to do this but I do think it’s in ours and our horses’ best interest to reschedule and I’d prefer to know sooner rather than later so assuming you all might as well.

The footing will be less than ideal if we get the weather they’re calling for which appears to be constant rain starting this afternoon until later on Sunday.

⭐️Our new date will be Sept 21st starting at 9am.

We will move the competition ring indoors if needed on Sept 21st.

A new link will be posted for everyone to register for this new show date - we are aware the new date may not work for everyone.

Have a super weekend everyone and for once I really hope the weather person is right despite the call for a really wet weekend. If they’re way off and it’s sunny and clear I’ll be bummed.

2024- The summer of Dargie!

He’s getting to cruise around leisurely and stress free while attending clinics and even went to his first OEA show at Glenarden Horse Trials last weekend and was a trooper.

Sarah rode him through a quiet dressage test, had a single rail in stadium and trotted much of the cross country course as the goal was to give him a nice quiet ride so had some time faults.

Come school with us! 😊

We have some new XC obstacles, a full jumper course and a competition size (20m x 60m) dressage ring.

$30/horse - outside coaches welcome.

Bonus for riding moms with young kids - we also have a teenager who keeps claiming to be bored who can babysit your kids while you ride.

I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning when I was sent a pic of one of our new cross country fences. Can’t wait for more to arrive!!

No more having to drive hours to school over a good XC course! 🏇

It’s so fun to see the big dude be navigated around a jump course by a lovely, competent rider.

Everything seems to be clicking…took this handsome dude awhile to mature.

Seems I have a type in husbands and horses!! 😎

Just wanted to send out another big thanks to our Parkeridge Stable show sponsors for our Shoreline Schooling Series!!

Please remember to support the people and businesses that support us in this crazy sport.

Pretty excited to be hosting the next Shoreline Schooling Series Show at our farm.

Anyone with teens looking for volunteer hours shoot me a message. It’s ‘fun work’.

This Sunday will be our next show at Parkeridge Stable. Please have all entries in by 8pm Thursday! 😇

⏱️ Show starts promptly at 9am.

Jumper warm ups will be in the morning prior to the show start.

After jumper divisions we will have a quick tear down of the ring and a set up for the hunter divisions in the afternoon.

Walk/Trot divisions will then run with Novelty class following them.

There will then be a very brief warm up in the ring for the afternoon riders. A minute or two each to get over something your coach thinks might be tricky for you. 😉

Warm up fences will be available in the indoor arena for use throughout the day.

Novice & Hunter Divisions will not start before noon for those trying to orchestrate arrival times.

There will not be a formal lunch break during the show.

We will have our BBQ going with lots of options for folks with some sweet treats too!

For those of you with walk/trot riders here’s a sneak peek in case they’d like to practice! 👀😊

Being a horse was hard for him today.

Anyone in our area that would consider renting out their stock trailer? We have a very well mannered horse that simply prefers not to go on a slant or straight load (not looking for trailer tips 😉). She happily walks on and isn’t at all stressed in a stock trailer.

It’s the Big Baby’s birthday! He’s such a ham.

I love a good before & after.

Not gonna lie putting weight… that’s not just flubber…on this TB mare has been trying and creating a feed program that she will buy into hasn’t been easy. She’s picky with a smaller appetite and doesn’t like added oils, flax, etc. I’ve never met a pickier beast. Hoping we can keep the weight on when we work a little harder in the summer months. 🤞🏼

Trying to get the equipment all figured out for a meeting tomorrow but getting sidetracked by pictures of kids and ponies 🥰

And the award for cutest valentine goes to…Mickey ofcourse.

If I didn’t take a moment to sit and admire the beauty of the lights reflecting off the snow and appreciate the serenity of my gelding breathing deeply and slowly…and welcome the lack of mud at the moment 😉…then my frustration might just get the better of me.

For the record I was a really awesome pen pal!

Kids nowadays will never know what it was like to write and mail your letter and then wait for an eternity to see if you’d even get a response!!

Someone found this in a 1994 Horsepower magazine and was kind enough to share it with me! How fun!

Anything this man takes the time to write I will make the time to read.

Marketing is getting more than a little out of hand…supplement companies are leading folks to believe that their horse needs all sorts of things in order to be ‘well’ when they don’t know the hay quality, iron levels in water they’re drinking, current supplements, etc, etc, etc…ever notice that the only person who says horses need supplements are supplement companies?

Companies can only put in so much of each vitamin and mineral in a supplement. They’re regulated and one is likely as good as another. One company just may not pay as much to market their product.

Become a smart consumer and put your hard earned money where it belongs…in saddle pads! 😉

“As healthy as a horse.” You’re heard this, of course. From all accounts, the term originated in the 19th century. Then (as now), horses were known for their vitality and endurance, as well as their strength. They were symbols of good health. Someone that was, “As healthy as a horse,” was ...

This is going to save us a whole lot of time here on the farm.

I came up with the idea and Jay brought it to fruition.

No more fighting with slow feed hay nets in the winter…or ever 🤩. Now we can just dump a bale right into them.

I’m just about as happy as a hound pup with two tails!

I love a good before & after!!

This year we opted to go with stone dust instead of sand around the feeders. Hoping it was the right choice.

Young ladies I’d suggest dropping big hints that acts of service are your love language. I’m pretty lucky to have this Cinderfella all to myself.

Makes me think that going to the dentist for a check-up isn’t so bad after all!

Super proud of this young lady who stepped up to the Training Level yesterday. ‘Training Level’ sounds like it would be a beginner level…it’s not 😳!

They had their best dressage test to date and a nicely ridden stadium round but they decided they’d rather not both jump a smaller but technical fence on XC so they parted ways!

Still a very successful day if our goal is to better ourselves and our horses every time out.

I think my kids likely get tired of me telling them how lucky we are to live here and do what we do.

It takes practicing the basics over and over again to make the ‘big sticks’ look like a 2’9”. I’m sure over the years Sarah has thought ‘you want me trot into that again🙄’…I know she has because she’s said it out loud. Watch this…this is why!! 🥰

Too hot to much more than a walk during our lessons today so we decided to try riding something else. 🤩

Oh how I wish they all came with this party trick. #selfloader

A lot easier to stay warm on a cold day when you ditch the saddle (and the bridle in her case). #thinkwarmthoughts

We wrapped up 2022 by participating in a clinic with Siobhain O'Connor. Everyone was able to get some great tools to take away and work on as they prepare to achieve their 2023 goals!!

This young lady really impressed me tonight. The jumps weren't huge but what they were was steady and balanced and she didn't ride defensively as she has since I've been fortunate enough to be her coach.

'Catch' the horses with me. Listen for the thunder of hooves at ~20 seconds in.

Horse Show Dads are the best Dads! We have the BEST at our barn. 💙 Thank you for raising the wonderful young ladies that I get to hang out with.

Today was a great day!! 🤩 My daughter's horse had a bout of laminitis in the new year we had multiple late night visits by Dr. Mary Baks, the barn stunk of rotten eggs for weeks (if you know you know 🤢) and reset after reset (sometimes only days apart) with custom shoes and pads to make him comfortable by our fabulous farrier, Scott Noble. At times the coffin bone was visible and I thought many times that we were done...But we pulled shoes, crossed our fingers and toes and we now have a HAPPY HORSE!! No shoes, no pain meds and he's happily moving forward and willing to work 🥰. Today was actually a fabulous day! (Yes he has his martingale on, I planned on lunging him for 3 whole laps)
