Today was Summer Solstice Series Big Kid Finale. Brenna's been showing a variety of horses/ponies over the years with them, and it's always been the best place to bring our newbies and test them out. The support and comradery with the crew there is unrivalled. This summer she regularly took Beauty out to show, Jane has done a few in-hand divisions (plus a walk trot poles on the leadline today!), Sisco's come to play (for many years), and even Percy took a trip in the ring this summer. There aren't many shows that will let you play in the ring for the ba****ck Hack Diva Challenge, but today Brenna went all out. Fancy long jacket, tutu and unicorn horn for Beauty to complete the ensemble...and with the outfit and excellent riding skills, she took home the prize too. It's always sad to see the end of the season come, but so nice to be able to celebrate everyone's success over the summer. Well done Big Kids!

After a long season of showing and some crazy weather...our Summer Solstice Series Finale was today. We're proud of EVERYONE, not just our riders; we've seen them compete along side us all summer and shared in the fun and struggles together. I keep saying how rare it is to find a group that competes with such sportsmanship towards each other...but we're so glad we've been able to share it with these riders and families. Well done Summer Solstice 2025!

Week 5 of camp is complete. We had the pleasure of meeting new friends, and then the sadness of saying goodbye to familiar faces as the summer gets closer to being over. We went from hot chocolate one morning to freezies at the end of the week, but smiles all week long. The kids always leave with their hands, hearts, and minds full of memories ❤️

Channeling our inner artists for the mini-show today. Throughout the week, campers ride a few different horses and get to pick who they want to show for our mini-show Friday afternoon. They coloir in a card with their pick for their albums to be handed back before they leave camp. Today, we get to enjoy the creativity of this masterpiece ❤️ I'm sure if sisco had access to these colours, she would probably try it!

Its almost 9pm and we're not even done chores yet. We'll be at least another 40 minutes. This week, with everything we have on our plates, this is how it's been. We do our best to make sure first and foremost that the animals are cared for, secondly that our clients are looked after, and somewhere way down the list....our family is looked after. So on occasion, if our ability to juggle absolutely everything and please everyone isn't met to the same standard we strive for every other time....we apologize? If you need something, please ask. We are always willing to work with someone. But if we falter once in a while, run a little behind, forget a revised schedule; we appreciate the same courtesy we extend to everyone else ❤️

We teach our riders that being brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid....but to try it anyways. Brenna lived that this weekend; she took Bryan to the highest ranking show she's ever been to. She had a team of wonderful people behind her, she had a moment of courage and she took the great big one-eyed horse into the ring for a show she was so nervous about doing. And she was BRILLIANT. Bryan was the goodest boy, he very much cleared the jumps, and Brenna had that big smile we always want to see. So do it. Do the things you're not sure you can. Be brave. Trust your support network and coaches and barnmates. Trust your horse. And most importantly...trust your self. You got this Brenna.
Also note, the the last photo you can see me hiding by the tree. Brenna didn't know I was coming (I was supposed to be working an event but a wonderful friend covered for me), so I waited until she was in the ring, snuck out of my car and hid while she rode. She didn't see me until the end when Bryan (who only has one eye!) spotted me and gave me away. Here I was trying to be sneaky. But I couldn't stand to miss seeing her in this show...and I am so grateful for those that moved mountains so that I could be there to watch

Yesterday was too hot for a traditional lesson, so we rode in shorts and broke out the water games! We used wet sponges to practice balance and steering and then worked hard to shoot the water guns through the hula hoop! Our horses stayed cooler, our riders had fun, we learned good things and fun memories were made ❤️

Week 4 of camp ended on Friday. It's always lovely to see familiar faces, check in after the winter and see how much they've grown. Hearing the stories from previous sessions, seeing how much they remember and how much of an impact it left. We don't make a fuss out here, we sort of just keep our heads down, do our jobs, support the kids...but it absolutely makes our hearts happy to hear how much they've been looking forward to coming back. It is a privilege to see new faces and be able to share all these new experiences with them. We have the best families, really we do!

This week at camp I was gifted a croc charm and $1000 of 'paper money'. I promise to wear my crocs proudly and spend my fortune wisely. The horses think apples, carrots, mints and timbits are the smartest choices. I wonder if Tim Hortons accepts thousand dollar bills?

Touchstone Farm, a home with heart

Touchstone Farm is home to a variety of animals. We have full sized horses, ponies and some miniature horses. Most of these equines are rescues or were at risk before coming home with us, we've promised them a soft landing and safe home for the rest of their days. The few that were not at-risk were purchased with the intention of becoming well loved family members for the rest of their lives. We also have pygmy goats, miniature sheep, two mini pigs, a variety of ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and our dogs. It's a full house!

Our promise here at the farm is to care for and treat every single animal like a family member, because they are. We take our responsibility to our animals very seriously. We never overbook them, we only take on a few events each week (if that) to make sure they get as much enjoyment from doing the parties as the guests do! Any proceeds from the farm go right back into the care and upkeep of the animals. Both my husband and I have careers outside Touchstone Farm, we can't expect them to pay our bills, but we are happy to go to work for them. We will NEVER put profits above their health and happiness.

We can promise that we'll have the same animals each year, plus some new ones of course. We value them like family, and have made a commitment to each and every one of them. Once the season ends, they come home, get spoiled and enjoy the rest until the next season.
