It is a sad day here at Equine Meadows, today is Kearstin Williams last day coaching with our stable & this evening she will move onto the next chapter of her life.

Kearstin has been a coach, a summer camp councillor, a volunteer, a friend to many, and a graduate student of Equine Meadows.

Kearstin has had many dreams come true over the past few years, including the purchase of her two horses (Zeus & Darby), building her own stable at her home, completion of her Equine Canada rider level 4, as well as helping numerous students complete their personal riding goals.

I would like to thank Kearstin for her hard work and dedication and I wish her all the luck in the world as she moves forward. We’ll miss you girlie 💕

UPDATE May 1st, 2021

Equine Meadows - Summer 2021 Schedule due to the Covid19 Pandemic

Regretfully, Equine Meadows will not be running our popular Summer Camps again this year. Similar to last year we have decided to run group lessons in its place. Due to provincial Covid19 health restrictions and social distancing guidelines we feel it is in our best interest to run low ratio group lessons to ensure we can safely operate while still providing the opportunity for children to learn about horses. All lessons for these programs will be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday – Friday.

Registration for both these summer programs will open on Monday May 17th and run until the program fills.
To register please email [email protected]
Emails will be answered on a first-come, first-served basis.
(Please note: early email messages received before May 17th will not be given priority!)

- Tiny Trot Summer Program for students aged 3 - 6
Ages: 3 - 6

Dates: This program will start June 28 until August 29, 2021
This program is a great way to introduce your young child to horses and ponies. All lessons are 30 minutes long with a 10 minute in barn topic and a 20 minute ride on one of our school horses. This program is only offered during the 9 weeks of the summer session, with all lessons scheduled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday to Friday. All tiny trot lessons are 1 student to 1 instructor, which means space is very limited and this program tends to fill very fast. (All lessons at this level are ridden on a lead/ lunge line.)

PLEASE NOTE: Both these programs are only being offered as an alternative to our usual Summer Camps, students participating in the Introduction to Riding and Tiny Trot Summer 2021 programs should not expect to be placed on the priority list for returning students when registration opens for the regular Fall program of lessons. While this program is similar in most ways to our regular lesson programs (pricing, time, student : instructor ratio), it is only being offered this summer due to the temporary capacity that is made available by the cancellation of our regular Summer Camps. It is important that any students registering for the Summer 2021 Introduction to Riding Program recognize that they will not qualify for the priority registration for returning students in the Fall. Students registered in this temporary program can apply for any fall program unfilled spaces that may be available after the priority registration period ends on August 30th, 2021

Due to Covid19 our popular Summer Camps are cancelled for 2020. In their place we will be offering a special, low student:instructor ratio program for this summer only. Please see the website (http://equinemeadows.ca) and follow the "Programs" tab for more info.
