Ropin' Day!

We're all set to Rock n' Roll for our Ropin' Day Saturday, March 6th from 10:30am-1:00pm. No experience necessary, there will be no riding involved. Participants need to be prepared to wear old clothes and get dirty! Leather riding gloves or cotton glove/glove-liners will be best for avoiding blisters. We've got plenty of ropes for everyone to get some instruction and hands-on practice. Once we've mastered roping stationary objects, we can move on to moving objects and then try our skills at roping calves out of chute from on (pretend) horseback!

There is an observation deck for observers (please bring your own chairs). The farm is located at 8386 Observatory Drive, Granton. Also at the farm are some baby sheep, donkeys and a bunch of horses including J-lo's baby "Shorty"!!

Bring your friends and family, please confirm with us if you plan to attend. See you there!

What's with all the white stuff??!!?

A friend of mine has a farm in Virginia, where they have seen record snowfall this past week. Here are some of the pictures she took of her horses when they were first turned out in the snow!

March Break Training Sessions

Just a heads up that we will be offering a series of Training Sessions for students the week of March Break (March 15-19). The Training Session Package offers one private lesson each day for one hour. What a great opportunity to ride five days in a row, with individual instruction! Most students notice a dramatic increase in their learning curve and horses progress when riding consectuively, even for two lessons in a row. Get a taste of what it would be like to own your own horse and ride over the break OR bring your own horse and let's get him/her in shape for spring! Special rates for regular (weekly or bi-weekly) students only five lessons throughout the week booked at your convenience (a value of $225) for $200. Spaces are limited so call ahead!
Regular lessons will continue the week of March Break and if you can't make it out every day, we still have space for a few extra lessons.

2010 Pricing effective March 1st

Our new pricelist is up and will be effective March 1st. Please make yourself familiar with the new pricing as well as new time committment. Lesson fees are increasing slightly for 2010, and will include HST as well as GST. Fees will be collected for regular weekly or bi-weekly students during the first week of the month for the remainder of the month to ensure lesson times are reserved and to ease our paperwork load! Please note that the 5 lesson bundle price we previously offerred, is no longer available for 2010 but you can look forward to some other breaks in prices for regular group students. Please also note that our 24 hour cancellation fee will continue to be in effect. We do appreciate your notice well ahead of time, which makes scheduling a make-up lesson much easier. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation during this transition.

It's C-C-C-C-COLD outside!
