Riding camps by day, cooling off in the pool at lunch, getting horses worked in the evening and a bonfire to finish off the night. Loving these days of summer!!

Looking for something fun to do next week?

We have a couple spots still available in our novice jump Camp that starts on Monday July 15- Thursday July 18.

Kids must be comfortable cantering, trotting without stirrups, holding a steady two-point jumping position on the flat and ready to start learning to jump.
Camp activities include riding lessons 2 times a day, bonfires, water games, on site petting zoo, horsemanship skills/theory lessons, and some fun crafts. Camp runs 9am-4Pm but early drop off/late pick up is ok, we just need to know ahead of time. Can bring your own horse, or we have a lovely selection of over 20 lesson horses to pick from. Cost is $400. Contact me at 780-270-1363 or fill out the registration form here and will get back to you right away.

Had a great time at the Hastings Lake Show today. I really enjoyed watching everyone have a fun and successful show and capturing some great moments with my camera. Here is a bit of a sampler from the horses we brought from home today. I will hopefully have most of the picture edited in the next few days.

Are you looking to put some tools in your toolbox to cope with life’s adversities? Would you like to learn to let go of some of the events in your past to move towards a better future?

I took the Equine Assisted Learning Program and was certified in October 2022. Since then I have worked on developing a 12 step program to encourage people to look at their past and some of the unwanted thoughts and behaviours it has caused and move forward into a focused and freer future.
I did a practice run through last summer and am now ready to offer this program publicly. This program involves our animals to help with connection and safely processing emotions.
Below are some testimonials. This is an 8 week program in groups of no more than 6 people. Each session lasts about 90 minutes and a very comprehensive workbook is included. Starting the beginning of May at New Horizon Ranch. Wednesday and Friday evenings available.
Please contact me for more info or to sign up.

“I recently participated in the 12-step program at New Horizon Ranch. The exercises were great fun, and I learned a lot about myself in the process. Iris has taken the concepts of the 12-step program and modified them to include horses as partners and participants in a way that makes the process fun while we learn about ourselves and others. The natural setting at NHR is the perfect place to wind down from our busy lives and to live and learn with our equine friends.”
-CW-

“Iris’ lessons and exercises were creative, well thought out and thought-inspiring. There was time to pose questions and discuss things that were unclear for individuals. I learned a lot about myself and about working with some of the farm animals (e.g., horses) as partners and “equine confidants.” I learned about forgiveness, truly releasing myself from past harm, and options for future choices. Well done overall!”
-LP-

“I took the 12 step program with Iris this past summer. It allowed me to not only learn about what makes the horse(or animal because it was sometimes goats) I was working with tick but myself as well. I was able to release some past trauma that I had been holding onto for many years and it gave me the tools to work on others.
Highly recommend!”

So blessed to have 120 acres at home and another 80 we rent a couple minutes down the road. This is how young horses should get to grow up. With space to run and friends by their sides. Took all our coming 2-year-olds & coming 3-year olds and the open broodmares that wont be bred till mid may down the road. Great trailering practice, they get out of the mud at home, and the first green blades of grass are appearing under the old grass. 🌱
