This past weekend we had two delightful outings to Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre with a two different groups of riders, and they truly exceeded expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with both groups. Weekends like these make all the effort feel rewarding! The riders were having a great time, the horses were enjoying themselves, and both Coach Emma and I had an amazing experience. Big improvements from last time for many riders, and first time on the field this year for others! Thank you all for a great weekend ☀️

Mapleridge marked our first competition of the season, where we had the chance to hit the xcountry field—yay!

Saturday was a bit damp, but both horses and riders dug out their water wings and performed some splashing dressage tests, followed by an afternoon of show jumping.

Sunday brought a beautiful sunny day, and our riders thoroughly enjoyed jumping and galloping around the xcountry field.

Thank you so much to the Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre team for braving the weather and putting on a fun show!

🌟 Southlands Dressage Show Recap! 🌟

This past weekend at the Southlands Dressage Show was an incredible experience! It was a fantastic opportunity to focus on our dressage skills while performing in front of some truly lovely, kind, and encouraging judges. The constructive feedback we received was invaluable and will definitely help us improve for our next tests.

I’m thrilled to share that my young horse, Chad (Mr. Wick), exceeded all my expectations! I can’t wait to continue this exciting dressage journey with him. 🐴✨

As for my little mare, London Fog, she has officially moved up to 3rd level! Her first few tests were a bit challenging, as tension can really highlight her thoroughbred nature, let’s get quick. However, I’m happy to report that she improved with each passing day, showing her true potential!

I’m also proud of my students, who enjoyed their time at the show and made great strides in their own journeys. Here’s to more growth and success in the future! ❤️

Thank you so much Southlands Riding Club for hosting this show!
Thank you to Erin Silo for all of the lessons and all of your support!
And thank you to The Saddle Doctor for my lovely dressage saddles, making sure my horses and myself are always comfortable!

The MREC Derby was this past weekend, and what a fantastic way to kick off the eventing season!

This show was so popular (we had 16 horses and riders!) that the Unicorn crew decided to stable on site and what an adventure it was. We headed out on Friday, which took a few trailer trips to get everyone there. Riders had dressage lessons, and the horses had a chance to settle in.

Saturday was show day, starting with dressage tests in the morning. After that, everyone got to school over the derby course which is a mix of show jumps and cross-country fences across the two arenas at MREC. Sunday was Derby Day, and we’re happy to report that all our riders had positive, safe rides. A few rails and some time penalties here and there, but for the first show of the season, we couldn’t be prouder of our riders and horses! Shows like this are such a great way to see the progress we’ve made over the winter and figure out what we want to keep working towards.

Of course, a weekend like this doesn’t run smoothly without an incredible team. Huge thanks to our coaches, Emma and Cassidy, for guiding our younger riders and teaching them what it takes to care for your horse at a show. To Rebecca, working away behind the scenes organizing schedules, answering questions and more. A big thank you to our grooms, who came out to learn and help out so they’ll be ready for their first show. To our experienced riders who took the newer competitors under their wings. Lastly to the parents: thank you for the early mornings, filling water buckets, helping with extra chores, celebrating the highs and navigating the lows, but mostly for taking on the very important job of videoing the rides!

We’re so grateful for this amazing Unicorn community and to all the friends who came out to cheer us on, the welcoming BC eventing family, and the support from fellow coaches and new friends we meet at every show. Thank you, Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre and all the staff and volunteers who make weekends like this possible. We appreciate you hosting such a great event!

What a wonderful week our Unicorn riders have had!

We had 2 fun schooling days out at Maple Ridge Equi-Sports Centre on Friday and Saturday! Thank you so much Lee Walraven for setting up the cross country jumps in your arena for us to play over. All of the riders and horses had a blast 🦄

Saturday morning, a group of riders went up to Panorama Ridge Riding Club for some schooling as well! Coach Emma was super happy with how they rode, and this was the first time riding off property for a couple of pairs 😇

Last but not least, Ella and her horse Max spent the week out at Thunderbird Show Park working on their show jumping! They have been working hard and creating a great partnership together, which is so lovely to see. Thank you so much to Jonny Mahon for taking care of these two all week 🤩

A great time had by all! The weather was also beautiful and sunny, for all of us to enjoy these awesome facilities that hold schooling and showing opportunities for riders of all levels! We’re looking forward to the MREC derby coming up!

Back in January our Working Equitation team coached and organized by coach Cassidy entered a virtual competition!

They videoed and rode their dressage test coached by myself. In the afternoon, they performed their Working Equitation obstacles, videoed, and coached by Cassidy. These videos were sent in and judged by a Working Equatation judge, there were many entries and I’m happy to say our riders all did really well!

They have just received their ribbons in the mail, which are very pretty!

Congratulations to you all 🤩

This week I had the opportunity to teach three students a in hand lesson. My three coaches also participated as we felt it was worth them having a refresher course on this topic.

It was a really good experience for the students and their horses. As a coach it was really helpful to see how the horses became calm, cheerful and content within the short time we spent together.

When we are clear with our cues and quick with our release our horses really start to feel confident within their training.
I also believe that if we are all being consistent every time we handle a Unicorn horse this is a big reason our lesson horses (and boarded horses) are for the most part perfect to be around and handle.

Did you know your in hand work can also fix or enhance your riding and training while on the horse?
I feel these lessons are really good reminders for all of us, myself included, as it’s easy to forget to be clear and a hundred percent present all the time when handling horses.

Sorry no pictures, I forgot, but heres an old one of me and Baloo from 2013 ❤️ And one and Reggie 😇

On Wednesday we had our advanced camp orders come out and enjoy a day of riding and learning!

They started the day with a position lesson, using different tools/objects to help strengthen their position, as well as some ba****ck. We also did a braiding practice lesson!

In the afternoon, we had one group of riders go out to jump with coach Emma, and another group went out on the trails with coach Cass!

It was a super fun day for all of us 🤩
