Whistling Pines Equi-Centre Where learning is relaxed, supportive, and full of laughs.

We’re a small, fun-loving, family-oriented horse farm offering boarding and English/Western riding lessons with an Equestrian Canada Rregistered coach with 20+ years of experience.

This past year at Whistling Pines was full of muddy boots, early mornings, late-night checks, big smiles, and lots of horse hugs.

We welcomed new horses into the barn family and said heartfelt goodbyes to some very special ones who will always hold a place in our hearts. Each of them left hoofprints on us in their own way.

To our riders — you make the arena a place of courage and laughter.
To the families — thank you for the endless driving, cheering, and support.
To our boarders — thank you for trusting me with the care of your horses; it truly means the world.
To my family — thank you for all the help and love behind the scenes.
And to our amazing vet team — your knowledge, compassion, and care keep our herd feeling their best, and we are so grateful.

Here’s to more whinnies, more growth, and more moments that remind us why we love this life so much. Happy New Year from Whistling Pines. 🐎✨

Merry Christmas from our barn family 🎄
Grateful for the horses who humour us, the riders who keep showing up in all weather, and a barn full of memories made this year. Wouldn’t trade it for anything 🐴❤️

Miss Sue has settled in beautifully over the past two months. As many of you know, we purchased her from a Mennonite farm where she was beginning to slow down as a buggy horse. She’s definitely learning to love the slower-paced life here.

While she works as a lesson horse now, she’s also enjoying some new amenities she never knew she needed — like insisting on a big gulp from her automatic water bowl before leaving her stall after breakfast, happily watching (and listening to) the backhoe at work, and of course, thoroughly appreciating her new massage sessions.

Safe to say, Miss Sue is settling into retirement-with-benefits quite nicely. 💆‍♀️🐴

What a fantastic Christmas Fun Day we had! 🎄✨
We kicked things off with Christmas team challenges around the riding ring—collecting letters for Santa, delivering gifts, singing songs, and playing all sorts of festive games.

Then we took a break for an absolute feast prepared by Linda Larocque Williams, Addison Williams and Jaxen Mousseau. Honestly, after that meal, half of us considered calling it a day and rolling home. ❤️

Recharged (and maybe a little too full), we headed out to decorate the barn for Christmas—because nothing says “holiday spirit" like a barn full of Christmas decor your horses want to eat.

After a few chores, we dressed up the horses in their Christmas outfits. Some loved it… some tolerated it… all looked adorable.

Of course Jackson provided us with plenty of help and entertainment in and out of the barn, and my Dad was happy to jump in wherever needed — or simply enjoy watching the fun unfold.

We wrapped things up with cookie decorating, where the sprinkles-to-cookie ratio definitely got away from us.

An absolutely hilarious, festive, and memorable day from start to finish! 🎁🐴✨

Some of our riders braved the cold this weekend for a snowy ride, and they absolutely crushed it. With the colder weather, we're slowing things down a bit, we took the chance to really focus on skills—these girls worked hard and I couldn’t be more proud of the progress they made. And of course, we did it all ba****ck, because nothing keeps you warmer than sitting on a very cooperative, slightly-toasty horse. ❄️🐴❤️
