Very belated congrats to our sylvie on the acquisition of her Rory last fall! Big thank you to Kirsty Luft • (again) for connecting this little (see actually very big) boy to us. Rory’s cavalier attitude towards life saw him attend his first show 2 weeks after descending into Manitoba, and every showing after, he has continued to grow and learn with Sylvie’s guidance. We’re looking forward to seeing the development between this pairing!

Marcy Schweizer Memorial Derby Show ….new team members, new venue for 2 team members….lots of learning done, much fun had! Great success was found in the environment created by Northfield Farms with such a welcoming group. So many smiles and memories!

In case anyone wants to know how Beach Party went this year, I bring you the Edify team….and naps (over 30 degree weather, increased with the humidex, and exceptionally long show days contributing to this required downtime)…

Also, Nicole’s never say die sunglasses.

Fun was had, Hibiscus was recommended & the ponies were all good. Onto the next one.

Happy retirement day to my OG first school pony Rummy.

Off to live the hard life with my bestie Megan, being the boss of 2 smol boi ponies.

Rummy came to me by way of word of mouth, a mission to buy schoolies for someone else…and a collision of events in life that landed me working as an independent operator.

A comical character with a sense of humour; most of those who learned to listen to him, all learned to ride well, and came to love him for his quirky sense of teachings (see casual saunters away if not tied, dragging you to grass if not paying attention…holding his tack when you try to put it on…).

For the past 6 years he’s been a wonderful companion to many of the ladies he befriended (namely Cienna the town bike…), and a safe boy to take out and about for a hack. His charm not less than his smile (we can thank Dickie for this trick…), his retirement has been more than earned.

Thank you for everything little man, you’re the first legs of my program, and carried so many children safely into success’s path. Enjoy your retirement!

Gemini 🪽2001 -2025🪽

Gemini was the second school pony acquired for my program, amidst the throws of covid, by the way of Kelly when I realized I was in need of another horse. I could have never realized how truly important this boy would be over the years he lived within my care.

Stoic, kind, with the ability tolerate absolute non-sense with the best of them; he immediately became a barn favourite, often on regular leases, with little girls fighting over who would get to ride him.

Taking his job as babysitter seriously, this spanned both human and in paddock, where he was known to be the boss of “The Bay Boys” (a series of substantially younger tb’s), but also was gentle yet firm with weeners/yearlings alike.

The kindest eye, and a regal frame, he was usually pulling ribbons for kids kids in droves at the grassroots/pc levels, in which he was rewarded with 50lb bags of carrots and as many pats and cuddles as he could tolerate.

In his last few working years, his job fell exclusively to light loads, as arthritis was setting in….again, he was patient and kind, and oh so safe that let small children were always well tended to in his care.

At one point when Wilf learned I had him, he had told me Gemini was one of the only horses he’d let his grandkids in the pasture with…because he’d just sit there with them, his head down for pats.

I will be forever indebted to this beautiful boy. He was responsible for teaching so many children/ja’s over the years, fostering their love of horses. His kindness towards young horses was only matched by the kindness of his eye.

Thank you to the good vet Glenn for coming at a moment’s notice when Gemi let me know it was time, and to Wayne for his specialty skills in soil movement.

May the grass be green, the fields lush, and pain be a distant memory.

In every lifetime, I hope to have horses like him cross my path.

First sanctioned show in the books for the squad. Young horse team at Beach Party this year - with none of the horses in attendance being in more than 2 schooling shows prior to this longer format show.
eq with Luft U Longtime, a warhorse of a ottb in his second career - with Texas Mickey, a young ottb in his second career - and - on (Avery’s) Jackie Be Nimble yet another ottb also her second career (last race was September 2024!) …you could say we have a thing for ottbs around here. All of these riders and horses did amazingly, and have big promise in their careers ahead in the show ring.

*Peep the last vid of Henri (Luft U Longtime) realizing where be is*
