Tonight Glenord's Christopher Robin crossed over Rainbow Bridge. He was surrounded by loved ones and went very peacefully. He is now reunited with Maggie, and is running free of all pain and can happily eat grass again! We all love him very much and we are saddened by his loss. He is irreplaceable. We will be hosting a celebration of life cookout on Saturday, November 5th at the barn, potluck style, for all of us to reminisce of his wonderful life.

Thank you to all who donated to Bevin's Air Vest Fund! Together we raised $875 of our $900 goal! She only had to pay $25 to get the vest that she wanted. Thank you so much for your generosity this Christmas!
Happy Holidays and please consider our second in command, Bevin McGeehan Nicholson, when you donate! We are all working towards getting Bevin an air vest this holiday season!

Here at Ann-Louise Horse Training we have the best barn family! The next featured family are the Peppers, specifically Jeannine and her daughter, Josie. Her husband, Jason, was a huge help measuring and cutting mats during our Barn Clean-Up Party! Jeannine has been riding with us for a few years, riding Robin, Oribt, and now Maddy. Her daughter Josie recently joined ALHT during the pandemic, when Sprout shut down for COVID. Since then, Josie fell in love with Saffy, and is half leasing her. Jeannine is always willing to lend a hand or an ear, and Josie provides the comic relief! We love our barn family, and that includes the Peppers!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all who came out to help us clean up and fix our stalls! It will be so much easier to clean, and the horses will be happier with cleaner stalls! It really does take a village, and we have the best barn family! Thank you again!

Come one, come all! To our barn make-over day! We will be stripping stalls, power washing walls, and installing blue stone and stall mats.

When? Saturday, Sept 11!

Our barn family would not be complete without two of our biggest supporters, Cindy Cowen and her daughter Madison. You will usually find Madison helping Ann-Louise with training young horses, exercising boarders horses, feeding horses on Monday evenings, or working with her own horse, Declan. Cindy and Madison have been with us a long time, since 2015 to be exact! They have become a real asset to the barn, and Madison has come a very long way due to her hard work and passion. The sky is the limit for her and Declan!
