❗️New chapter for CQH in 2025!❗️
We want to start off by thanking all of our clients that have put their trust and investment into our program in the past, present, and future! Because of you all, we have been able to reach our dreams but also create new ones.
As our business grows and develops so does the scope of our mission. Due to the growing number of our own prospects and long term clients, we have decided to change our intake requirements. Starting in 2025 we will be significantly limiting the amount of training horses from the general public. This was a tough decision however the right one as it will allow us to focus on our own prospect investments, client’s long term investments, and most importantly our little family.
That being said, there is a few select spots available for 2025. We will be focusing primarily on folks who would like their barrel horses to compete at a high level and maximize their potential.
We will also be offering a new service in 2025! For those that need some help with a performance horse but don’t necessarily want to send their horse out, we will be offering consultation sessions throughout the week.
For any more info or to book a spot send us a message to see if our program would be the right fit for you!
Thank you, CQH

What a great weekend at the NBHA Canada Finals! Another great show put on by a great production team!

Our highlights for the weekend was seeing 2 of our team having some HUGE success!

Started out with Alexis Weaver who’s been working with us for most of this year, getting a big W in the 2023 NBHA Canada teen slot race with her super consistent open horse “Dash Ta Fortunes” by Dash Ta Fame. Was one salty teen race!

Next was Jocelyn McNichol who’s been in our lesson program for over a year now getting the win in one of the biggest open races Ontario has ever seen with her mare “slick Flirty Flirt” by Slick by Design, setting a new arena record on this pattern!

So proud of them both, they represented us well!

“French Champagne” with a couple hams 💪
We’re big preachers on having your horses physically able to do the task at hand before asking them too.
A lot of hard work goes into those hams, constantly trying to fine tune nutrition, exercise, rest etc.
The one thing that never changes is her daily dose of

Have some big runs coming up with her the end of this year and so glad we have to help us prepare!

So grateful….
No matter how good things may seem to the public, if we’re all honest life is so full of trials, obstacles, stress, anxiety, confusion, and just flat out tough times. (We’ve had some of these ourselves lately)
Folks have heard me say it before but this is why we choose to make two things our priority… number 1, our Faith and relationship with Jesus, number 2 our family.
No matter what this world can throw at us these two things are there at the end of the day.
God has blessed us with a beautiful family to go through the highs and lows with and for that we are grateful.

Thank you to Seafind Photography for showcasing just a little bit of that for us!

We get asked a lot about our feeding program and how we keep our horses feeling they’re athletic best all year round even in our winter climate.
Although good feed and supplements are important it is pointless with out GREAT hay.
I find people will spend endless amounts of money on the latest supplement and feed but then cheap out on hay.
I’m here to tell you this is what makes the difference. We’re fortunate enough to get hay from one of the best around Bill Fotheringham who grows some of the best hay I’ve seen in Ontario, year in and year out.
Good hay ain’t cheap and cheap hay ain’t good…. Pick your poison!
The results we get from feeding good hay far outweighs the money we’d save on cheap stuff.

Well French Champagne did it again for us!
Despite a bad first barrel, her speed sure came through and got us 8th place in the Keystone Slot Race adding another $4000 to her LTE!
Super proud of this 5 yr old as she continues to improve!
