Finally had a chance to get the pony out and do some competing on the trail course/horse park we worked so hard on to develop.
In 2018 a trail committee of mostly 4 dedicated volunteers set out to develop and design an outdoor trail course worthy of international recognition. It took us 3 years, thousands of hours of labor, volunteer work, we donated time, equipment, we sacrificed family and personal time to see it to fruition. It was completed in 2020. I broke my back completing this course, it was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak, requiring extensive back surgery in 2021 that resulted in paralysis. I overcame the surgery & the paralysis. So to be able to ride the course I toiled over on a home grown filly I raised myself was one of the highlights of the summer for me.
The RM and the construction company that helped with the course are recognized on the trestle bridge. The trail committee that committed the hours, labor, secured the contracts for those 3 years etc, were Colleen Kellett, Jeffrey Beck Laura Martin and Lorraine Beaudette.
