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!

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!

We are all very proud of you congratulations!!

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!

We had a great morning of schooling cross country at Southlands Riding Club yesterday!
A big thank you to Megan Holm and the Southlands team for setting up the field for us and giving us so many jumps to play over 😁
Unicorn riders had a great time and we are looking forward to coming back!
The Riders also got to have a lovely ride around the neighbourhood to cool out at the end.
Looking forward to coming back soon 🌟

Sunday was such a fun day! We had a jump day with all our freshly painted jumps!
I enjoyed working with you all, and wow you all did so well🤩

This year we had three horse and rider pairs attend the 2024 BC Games held in Maple ridge. The games are held in a different region of BC every two years. Riders can compete in the games more than once but must go as a different disapline as the games they attended prior. The games offers Dressage, Show jump, Eventing, Vaulting and Para dressage.

To qualify for eventing, riders had to submit there top scores from the 2023 Horse Trials and this years MREC derby’s at the EV 85 level.
Riders were then put into teams/ zones based on where they live. So Ella and Kailey represented Zone 4 and Emily Zone 5.

For Eventing each phase is scored individual with the top three scores receiving a medal and at the end top overall are calculated as well as top overall zone which combines scores across all disaplines.

Dressage ran as usually, then eventers got to ride a fun derby course on the field which had a mix of xc fences, show jump, water, a bank and a ditch with closest to optimum time being the goal. Show jump was held on the Grand Prix grass field with riding again as close as possible to the optimum time.

Strider and Ella went as jumpers. To qualify they had to complete 2 show jump shows.
The competition was judged on how your rounds went and your equitation & scores were combined from there. Medals were given out each day & on Sunday the top 5 riders had a ride off where they were judged on equitation over fences & the flat.

Our riders placed:

Emily & Baloo -
🥈in Eventing Stadium

Ella & Strider -
🥉in Mini Prix
🥉in Ride Off
🥇Zone 4 Overall

Kailey & Mary -
🥈in Eventing Derby
🥇in Eventing Stadium
🥇 in Overall Eventing
🥇Zone 4 Overall

“Overall we had a great time at the 2024 Games! We made lots of fun memories and met lots of new friends!
The 2026 BC games are held in Kelowna we hope to see you there!”

Ella and Strider , Kailey and Mary and Emily and Baloo .

We also had our Unicorn working equitation riders (Ava, Chris, Janet and Chantal) participating in a 2 day clinic at pacific country stables. All 4 of the horses were very well behaved and stabled happily overnight in their new digs. Horses and riders seemed to enjoy going for walks and got to explore the property. In the clinic they all learned about working on our rhythm and suppleness while maintaining the obstacles geometry and even got to learn a new obstacle. Clinician Diane Bolen was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all the horses and riders and everyone had a lot of fun learning even in the 30 degree heat!

Thank you Pacific Country Stables for hosting and to Diane Bolen for all your knowledge!

Unicorn riders out and about last weekend. Lots of fun stuff to share with everyone!

We had some of our riders go out to Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre to participate in Rally, this is a really fun event that BCLM Pony Club hosts. Each team has a captain, Nathan was captain for his team and Claire and Kailey were riders. Claire won the Koa courage and perseverance award! Claire had worked hard to qualify to ride at Rally, and unfortunately, her horse Quince had a sore foot and Claire was unable to participate in the riding, but rally is a team sport and Claire stayed up beat and positive and supported her team in other ways and clearly this was recognized by others!
Congratulations to our Unicorn riders and their team!
And thank you MREC and BCLM pony club for hosting and organizing these events!

Unicorn Stables had an amazing 3 days of learning with Jody Hartstone. We started the clinic with Jody sharing information on how to handle the horses on the ground and how important our in hand work is for them. At Unicorn we have many people handling our horses on a daily basis, from multiple riders , staff , coaches , vets and farriers. When we all use the same pressure release queues, horses become calmer because life is clearer for them which in-turn keeps us all safer when handling them and we know it also transfers to the riding . So I was so happy to see 35 or more unicorn riders and staff attending the lecture! 🤩

I can’t say enough good things about Jody, her extensive knowledge of ESI and her ability to watch horses move and pin point their problems is amazing. All the horses showed good improvements, I was especially excited about getting more suppleness in my collected trot.

Also while Jodi was with us ,she received the exciting news that her voice had been heard and nose bands on horses are now optional in dressage competitions in New Zealand!! 🌟

At Unicorn we don’t ever use tight nose bands, so I wondered why do we even have them on our horses at all? The conclusion I came to was because that’s the norm and that’s how I was used to looking at the horses. So in support of hopefully having the same ruling apply in Canada one day, we have taken all the nose bands off our unicorn horses in the hopes to normalize the way our horses look with no nose band on.

Our coaches at unicorn are looking forward to sharing what they learnt in up and coming lessons.

Thank you so much Jody for everything 🦄

Reggie’s first trail ride

I thought I would share with you how good Reggie was the other day. This was his first ride out with the horses and he was fantastic! I should also mention that my young green thoroughbred Pekoe was also amazing. I’m looking forward to lots of fun adventures this summer with Reggie and pekoe 💕 Thank you to Reggie’s fabulous trainer, Colton Unite Canine Training

On Sunday I went to Southlands for a dressage show with London, and Autumn came along also with Uno. London rocked her first test of the year, I couldn’t be happier. Our second test had some bobbles but I can now say she’s a third level dressage horse! Autumn was also very happy with her performance and Uno’s behaviour. Both horses were a joy to be around and work with 😇 Thanks also to Sam for helping us both out and calling my tests! Big thank you to Erin for all of her wonderful coaching and helping reach this achievement ⭐️
