Spring round up!
Hey guys! I hope everyone is enjoying whatever season it happens to be today! 2nd spring? 3rd winter? Or Sprinter as I like to call it.
I just wanted to touch base as we start to look towards our 2024 riding season. Bc even though it’s snowing, I know it’s just up ahead!
I’ve got a few dates to throw out to everyone.
Spring Break:
We will be holding some mini camp days over the spring break for folks who are already 2023 students. These will be a few hrs (still tbd) on tues (19) Thurs (21) and weds (27) where we will not be riding but will be spending some time with the horses and learning on a specific topic of that day. Then on sat the 23rd we will be having our very first horsey movie afternoon! (Chez moi!). Likely late afternoon start, byo snacks & drinks and we will all (students of all ages & parents welcome! Just rsvp to me) and sink in to watch a (likely classic) horse movie together! I’m pumped about this! So please let me know who’s coming! We will squish in as many as we can. (And I hope to do more this season)
Students with their own horses;
If you & your horses are ready to start back into work please reach out and let’s get you booked in. The ring is (most days) good to go for light riding and I’m happy to help you work on straightness, responsiveness and suppleness as we bring our horses back into shape for the season. Im ready if your ready!
Intermediate and advanced students;
We will be rolling into our initial riding season starting in April so please let me know what your preferred days & times are. Please note that first choice is given to those students who have been working through the in hand classes. Also, for those that haven’t done any ground work yet this spring there will be one or two (possibly a group day) grooming, tacking, leading safety review days before putting butts in the saddle.
Beginner in hand/lesson prep;
I will once again be running a group for the less experienced/younger kids to review ground safety, grooming ,some ground work and tacking up. This will be likely 1hr held 1x/wk for the month of April so please let me know if your little wants in (& am happy to take day/time suggestions). If not, I will be ready to start then one on one in May (same deal as the bigger kids who didn’t take the group in hand-a few review lessons will be required)
Day of learning!
Lastly I just want to throw it out there that there will be a huge equine expo in Chilliwack the wknd of april 12-14. I am “hoping” to be there for most of the wknd. And would love to see all your faces make the trip down. Sadly, bc I am hoping to stay down for the wknd, I won’t be able to offer rides down for the day but perhaps you guys can set up some car pool days?!? I am happy to help coordinate. There will be so much to see and would be a great experience for any and everyone. It’s called the CanAm expo. Here’s the link for more details.

And that’s all I’ve got for now guys! I am so excited to be getting back into action and seeing all your smiling faces back in the saddle again.
As always pls be patient with me as I do my best to coordinate everyone’s busy schedules; mine, Delilah’s, yours and the horses. The soon I have your preferred days/times, the sooner I can start working my scheduling magic (🤪) and expect a week or two of slight chaos while we juggle in real time. Thanks so much guys!
Welcome to the Can-Am Equine Expo in Chilliwack BC. For the love of horses.
