What a fantastic day we had on Saturday! It started with this amazing sunrise, then I had the pleasure of working with our riders in our dressage arena.
After lunch the Working Equatation obstacles got set up and the fun began.
Some of our riders will be sending in their dressage and working Eq videos to enter into a virtual show with Western Ontario working equitation and their winter virtual series! We’re excited to see how they all do🤩
We also had the most amazing sunset to end the day 🌅

Last Wednesday we had a corporate event for the design and animation team of the Netflix show, Univorn Academy. They are currently working on the second season and wanted to spend the day with our Unicorns to observe them and learn more about horses so they can better portray them in the show🦄

Thank you to all our volunteers who did a fabulous job as demo riders and helping with making the rest of their time at Unicorn such a success!

We had a fantastic time last weekend!
It was a really nice way to start the holiday season. Myself and Coach Emma really enjoyed coaching everyone over our sparkly jumps (thanks to coach Cassidy for decorating). We had 29 riders sign up this Christmas theme jumper clinic. I hope you all had as much fun riding as we did working with you.
We also had a fun get together Saturday afternoon , sharing some appetizers and hot chocolate . Spending time sharing stories and catching up 🎄🎅🏻

Our last horse show of the season was at Maple Ridge Horse Trials!
Seven unicorn riders participated in this show under the watchful eye of coach Emma.
It was one of those horse shows where we had some riders make up their own course, forgetting a jump or jumping the wrong one, but still a fun time! We had 3 riders that it was there first horse trials, congratulations to them 🌟
I couldn’t stay away so I went out Sunday with mum and dad to watch the xcountry which was lots of fun🤩
Thank you Coach Emma for coaching and Sam for driving!
Huge thanks to MREC for hosting and all the hard work you put in through the year to hold these wonderful horse shows🦄

Super fun day of cross country schooling on Sunday at Southlands Riding Club ! Thank you again for having us!

Fun news 🤩🤩
Joanne competed with Prancer and Claire as navigator at the BC 55+ games arena driving trials. The venue was the Salmon Arm fairgrounds on good grass field. The first day was a dressage test, then a cones course and a marathon corse to finish. The second day the order was reversed so they finished with dressage. Prancer was excellent they were using a new cart lent to them by Larry Brinkler so there were some harness adjustments to do and that made Pony much happier. Their first dressage test was a bit tense but the second test was amazing all the mistakes were Jo’s (her words not mine) and Prancer performed brilliantly .They concentrated on being clear in cones and marathon as the ground was a bit slippery (drizzle and freshly mowed). They only had one ball down in the four rounds and Claire did her job by twice saving Joanne from going off course. They won the marathon the first day and finished second overall in the training division. What a super fun trip and they all thoroughly enjoyed the competition along with meeting lot’s amazing people along the way.

Congratulations to Joanne and Claire, what a wonderful achievement and so deserved. Joanne and claire have trained Prancer themselves to drive,which I think makes it all that much more special. Mum and daughter enjoy horses together. Let’s not forget Jonathan for driving the truck and trailer and the ever supportive husband and dad.

Nine Unicorn riders had a fun weekend at Campbell Valley Equestrian Society two phase this weekend!
Saturday was dressage day for the riders and we had some lovely tests.

Sunday was cross country day, everyone rode brilliantly 🌟
You were all a pleasure to work with and I really enjoyed watching you all ride your xcountry courses.
Everyone was an amazing 🤩.
Thanks CVES for hosting these great schooling shows! They are so fun and so helpful for our horses and riders!

Jo and Claire also were out and about! They went to Delta Riding Club and participated in some flat classes. Given all the pretty ribbons and big smiles I’m guessing they had a great time. Congratulations ladies!
Thank you delta riding club for having our riders and holding a fun show for them!

Island 22 Horse Trials was a fun filled horse show for the Unicorn team 🤩
Thank you so much to Spenst and her amazing group of volunteers who put so much time and energy organizing this event! Your hard work and determination to running a great show is so appreciated.
Our riders enjoyed every moment of this horse show, all the riding phases, but the cross country is especially fun! The swimming, the bbq , playing volleyball, food trucks and milkshakes just make for a really enjoyable weekend.
We had time to catch up with fellow riders and our hearts go out to a close friend❤️
Enjoy our pictures and videos (in comments) from the weekend!

Hi everyone
Im super excited to share this post with you. It looks like so much fun and brings back so many fun memories for me and my pony I had called Hobby. Congratulations to Jo and Claire for developing Prancer into this brilliant driving pony.

Joanne, Claire and Prancer went to 100 mile House this weekend to compete at a Combined Driving Event at Training level. Think 3 day eventing but in a cart or carriage. The facility was fabulously beautiful and impeccably prepared for the event. We drove a practice dressage test on the Friday and we were very happy with our scores (mainly 6.5) and the 8/10 for presentation considering this was Prancer’s first driven dressage test. On Saturday we did the competitive dressage followed by a cones course. Prancer was worried and very spicy so dressage was less relaxed and in cones he had a moment of serious worry, stopped, backed up and lept in the air. Claire was very quick to get out and grab his head and help him remember how to go forward so we could complete cones. A full stop in cones means elimination so on Sunday we got to do Marathon just for fun. Prancer was delighted to do 5 km in 25 1/2 minutes (5 seconds over optimum) and he made the obstacles feel really easy, swinging around trees and posts going through our gates. The other competitors came in all size and shapes from tiny Very Small Equines (minis) to a flashy pair of Friesens. Joni Peters (used to be on Canada’s 3 day event team) was there with a lovely horse and she was great to watch. There was a lovely pair of matched palomino horses doing the Intermediate course and they made really difficult obstacles look easy. A giant thanks to Claire for being my navigator, Jonathan for being support crew and Tammie and everyone at the barn for allowing Prancer to practice his driving.

That’s a wrap on Summer camp at Unicorn! We had so many great memories from the fun packed 4 weeks we did. Our campers did a lot of learning, improved so much in their riding in a short time, but most of all had a blast 🤩 It was so nice to see many returning campers, as always, and we hope to see you all again at future camps!

Our Unicorn horses were of course, fabulous. And so were our awesome team of coaches and volunteers. We can’t thank you all enough for all of your help and support this summer!
And also a huge thanks to our wonderful neighbour, Howard, for letting the kids come to play with his herd of goats and feed the chickens🐓🐐 Always a big hit!

We take so many photos, but here are some highlights!

The Riders also got to have a lovely ride around the neighbourhood to cool out at the end.
Looking forward to coming back soon 🌟
