Parkeridge Stable

Parkeridge Stable Parkeridge is a full service equine boarding facility located less than 10 minutes south of Port Elgin, Ontario along the scenic shores of Lake Huron.

Parkeridge has been boarding horses for many years and is known for exceptional care, knowledgeable staff and a non-competitive atmosphere. Our aim is to create a safe, natural environment where horses happily socialize with paddock mates and thrive in a peaceful setting.

We are almost there…horses are almost out full time on pasture, annual vet visits are wrapped up and there’s still hay leftover in the barn.

I wish enjoyed spring as much as everyone rooting around in their gardens and laying around like a teen who’s only worried about the UV rating each day but spring is probably my least favorite season and I blame horse husbandry for that!

Spring brings fences that need repair, paddock scraping, moving horses around to get them with new buddies who they’ll be with for summer because some can’t do grass and others can, medical visits to boost everything before the bugs arrive, longer farrier visits to put shoes on those competing or those who’s feet we gave a break over the winter and allowed to be barefoot, worries about sugars in grass and weaning onto pasture which takes FOREVER it feels AND it seems like all of these things have to happen in a very short window. I’m super fortunate to have amazing help for these tasks but it’s still so time consuming.

But…then I look out and see horses who I think really do appreciate everything that’s done for them even though they can’t verbalize it. At least that’s what I tell myself to get through January to June…anyone else?

Winter paddock scraping is done! 😊

Many have asked if we are happy with the stone dust we put down. I am actually really upset we didn’t do it sooner.

We do a LOT of property maintenance at our facility and would bring in a great many loads of sand each fall only to scrape it away with the mixed in manure each spring.

Our horses are never standing in mud so they don’t experience some of the typical things you’d expect when they do. 😉

We get asked often so we are going to trial offering private PONY RIDES! 🎠

We don’t actually have any small ponies here so we can accommodate teens and adults too on our horses. We think everyone should get to experience what it feels like to ride a horse.

Contact us if you’d like more info. These are by appointment only. Not drop in. 🤗

The 2026 show schedule is now available. Mark your calendars.

Today’s lessons were particularly rewarding for me as a coach. When this little gelding came I’m not sure doing a full lesson bridleless would have been in his future and now we are jumping without it.

Maybe this summer we will try a full course? 🤔

Hi everyone!

Let’s beat the winter blahs and get together to chat about warmer weather and… horses!!

We are working at lining up a couple (few🤞) short speaker presentations which are not related to our show series so riders and horse enthusiasts of all disciplines are encouraged to attend.

We will be doing a quick 2025 season wrap-up and awards presentation for competitors that attended our 2025 shows.

We hope you can make it.

Please RSVP - it is not a huge space so we do need to know how many folks to expect.

Please reach out to Tanya or I to reserve your spot.

Can’t wait to see you. 😊

I think the best barn dogs need some credit for sticking by our side while we do chores. This dog would lay by the gate for an hour waiting for me to come back out of a run-in.

She has the option to leave anytime she chooses and to go into a heated garage through a dog door or to sit in the side by side but instead would rather lay in the snow waiting and watching.

There are just some things you can’t teach an animal…natural instincts are amazing.

I think that days like we have had are character building…might mean that they decide this lifestyle isn’t for them…that’s ok too. Either way they’re formative days.

Stay warm, put on an extra pair of socks, lift with your knees and don’t forget to bring your hose into a heated area before you leave the barn today.

TSN turning point - “Hey kids go out and get the stalls ready so we can start bringing in horses”…and they actually can be trusted to do it and do it well…seriously why didn’t I have children sooner?
