Not every rider dreams of entering the show ring—and that’s more than okay! 🩷🐴

For this pair, the goal has always been to feel confident and comfortable riding around their fields and out on the trails. Today was a HUGE step toward checking that goal off the list as they ventured outside the field for the very first time and made their way down to the water! 🌿💦

And then there’s Willow! 🥰

Willow spent some time with us here at the barn, but quickly made it clear that the lesson horse life just wasn’t for her. And you know what? That’s okay too! Not every horse is meant for every job.

Now, in her forever home with Melanie, Willow is a completely different horse. Watching them find their groove together and seeing Willow thrive in a situation that suits her is exactly what we love about this sport. ❤️

Sometimes success isn’t a ribbon—sometimes it’s simply feeling confident enough to ride somewhere you couldn’t before. And those milestones deserve to be celebrated just as much! 🐴✨

🐴✨ BIG NEWS! ✨🐴

Okay guys… this post has A LOT of exciting things packed into it! 👀

🍂 SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER TRAIL DATES ARE LIVE! 🍂
And they’re booking FAST!

To all of our awesome clients who have been asking about fall trail rides — now is your time to grab your spot! Cooler air, beautiful fall colours and horses… does it get any better?! 🍁🐎

💃 LADIES DAY IS BACK! 💃
It has been WAY too long, but we finally have a Ladies Day on the books for September! Get the girls together and come enjoy a beautiful fall day in the saddle. I have a feeling this one is going to be a beauty! 🧡

🌊🐴 AND NOW FOR THE BIG ONE…
For the first time EVER, we are opening our annual Swimming with the Horses event to the PUBLIC! 🎉

BUT… there’s a twist!

This year, we’ll be swimming at our NEW LOCATION! 🎉
Yes, it’s still very much under construction 😂 — but we couldn’t wait another year to share this special event with you! Robin Hood Lake Off-Grid Adventures also has cabin rentals available through their website for anyone looking to make a weekend of it!

📩 A QUICK NOTE FROM ME:
Thank you SO much for everyone’s patience with my slower-than-normal response times lately. I’m still figuring out how to juggle everything, and baby currently thinks the best place to take a nap is on me. 😂❤️

For the fastest response, text or email is currently the best way to get ahold of us!

So… what are you waiting for?!

👉 BOOK through our website
👉 THEN SHARE
👉 THEN SHARE AGAIN 😂

And yes, I specifically said it in that order because you KNOW these events are going to sell out! 👀🐴

We can’t wait to see you all this fall! 🍂❤️

There are always highs and lows when teaching—frustrating moments for both rider and coach as we work toward mastering a new skill. But tonight was a BIG high! 🙌

Every rider showed up and rode at the top of their abilities, and a few brand-new skills were conquered along the way! 👏🐴

Cheers to the riders who listen to feedback, keep showing up, put in the effort, and are truly coachable. You guys make my job all the more fun! ❤️

And can we peep our two matchy-matchy ponies and riders?! 🥰🐴✨

Coach Reid doesn’t take his eyes off his students—even for a quick selfie! 😂🐴

We wrapped up last night with our final clinic of the season: Cross Country! 🌿🏇 All of our riders did an amazing job, and the horses absolutely LOVED it! ❤️

For what was supposed to be a quiet summer, we sure kept busy! We surpassed last year’s trail riding targets, increased our lesson numbers, and officially launched our training division! 🎉

We’re so excited to head into our fall season—hopefully with an offer on our farm 🤞🏼🏡—and with some Ladies’ Days coming your way very soon! 👀✨

Keep your eyes peeled… there’s lots more to come! 🐴💫

I had never worked with Standardbreds before… well, that changed a month ago when we welcomed three of them into training!

Pictured here are Sharky and Casper after a huge milestone night—their first rides off the lunge, confidently walking and trotting under saddle! 🎉

It’s been such a fun and rewarding learning experience, and I’m excited to bring my students along for the journey as these horses continue to progress. Watching them gain confidence with every ride has been incredibly rewarding.

These handsome guys will be ready to head home to their family before long, and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! ❤️🐴

Coach Reid kicked off Jumper Night with a very serious pre-clinic briefing. 👶☝️

He made sure everyone understood the rules:
❌ No knocking rails.
❌ No excuses.
✅ Lots of treats… for the coach, obviously.

After his stern lecture, the riders went out and absolutely delivered! Jumper Night was a huge success, and every single rider should be proud. The riding was fantastic from ALL of our ladies! 🎉🐴

Now Coach Reid says it’s time to start preparing for our Cross Country Night in August! Be sure to sign up online before spots fill up… he’s already working on his next lecture. 😉

Everyone talks about the first time squeezing back into jeans postpartum… but what about the not-so-stretchy breeches?! 😂🐴

Breeches are on, Dad is on baby duty, and it’s shaping up to be my first ride since last August! ❤️

Stay tuned… Walter photo overload is coming! 🐴✨

ISO fence posts, 6-8ft lengths can still have the bark on

Chevy, Sharky and Casper would like to let you all know that our July trail rides are all open for booking on our website!

Happy trails 🐴 🌲 ☀️
