Just a reminder, we still have a few spots available for our Learn To Fall clinic next Saturday. IF you find yourself nervous on a horse, worried about how hard the ground is, this is the clinic for you! Get confidence in falling, on how to land and not hurt yourself. We have professional stunt trainers from Steel and Steed to help you feel safe and successful. https://www.heroncrestables.com/events https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1VdiDGOY0KBcN3lSaagusFTfqgEvxhxqMgHHB_AJny7A/edit

To maintain an attached, supple balance of your seat …
Imagine your stirrups are like a trampoline. You cannot brace into a trampoline, but if you keep your ankles, knees and hips soft and able to bend, you can maintain your balance on the trampoline.

So I am pulling the plug on the Royal trip. I just could not get enough to fill the bus and pay for the bus. I will be sending out refunds but it will take a minute so don't get too impatient. I can give you the Royal ticket if you can find your own way down there.

Final push but I can't see it happening. I need to fill the bus. I need to pay the bus company so I can't wait for folks to think about it. I on't have 12 people signed up I need more than that to pay the bus. So you all have till the end of today to opt in and sign up to go to the Royal the cheapest and easiest way possible. Here is the form with prices and details.

To all my adoring fans I just published my next book. It should be available in a few days on Amazon. Here is the cover. It is called "Remembering a Special Horse". If you or someone you know is going through the loss of a horse, they might like this book. I will post the link to purchase as soon as it is available.

Some people think I am full of BS. Well here we have proof. Filled the little Fiat with bull. Fit this big fella in and his stand. Loads of room left over.
For those who have never been on this bus trip. We go every year. The price includes the bus down and back same day (yes it is a very long day) entry into the Royal and the evening performance tickets. Dressage is on the menu I see for Tuesday the 5th. Yes it is a Tuesday, take the day off work and the next day too if you are smart. But hey you don't have to drive and you don't have to park! For those who have never been the the Royal Winter Fair, consider this your gateway drug. There is so much to see and do, you will not be bored, maybe just tired. There is a Superdog type show, shopping food, goats, cows, etc. and the horse shows! St. Lawrence and Ottawa Valley Pony Club is the Sponsor of this event.

Small Barn, Big Heart
Here at our humble farm we strive to teach both rider and horse a better way forward. Trying to seek the positive and ignore the negative. We train our horses with Clicker training which is a positive reinforcement training tool with a science background. It is the only training tool that can say it is backed by science.
It makes our horses happy and willing to express what is bothering them and more willing to work and trust their trainers because they know they will be heard.
Our riders get to ride well schooled horses in private lessons, and very quickly get to learn loads of fancy techniques. Our goal is to create independent riders who can deal with problems and not have to mask them or ride in fear.
Our barn is often very quiet and it allows for borders to be able to have quiet bonding with their horse. There is no rush here. We slow things down, we let you and the horse relax.
We also believe in horsemanship, the art of taking care of your horse. LEarning first aid, and safety and care. We have the Appleton Pony club, a branch of the Canadian Pony Club, that meet out of our barn, that anyone can join.
