Join us at Mission Ridge Stables for our family event, "Trots with Pops". It’s the perfect way to spend quality time, share some laughs, and make unforgettable memories with your family

🌟 Here’s what’s in store:

RIDING EXPERIENCE:
Hands-On Horse Time, Led by PARENTS – We teach Dads (or Moms / Guardians / Other family members) how to safely lead a horse or pony, then we will supervise and provide guidance/support as they guide their child for the remainder of the hour through a fun and safe obstacle course at their own pace.
If the weather permits, we'll go outside for a short trail ride! If the weather is poor then all activities will take place inside

*One parent must be comfortable learning to lead the horse or pony.

Ride time: 1-2pm, or 2-3pm.

Have more than one child? No problem—you have 3 options:
1. Split the 1 hour of riding between them
2. Pay an additional $50 and bring another parent or adult to lead them on a second horse or pony
3. Book a second time slot

All-Inclusive Pricing – $50 admission covers both parents and their children for the riding experience, and includes time for the mini pony experience and spending time on the farm!

***All riders must be 4 years of age or older***

🐴 Time Slots:

🫏 World Donkey Day 2025 🫏

Today help us to honour one of the world’s most hardworking and misunderstood animals: the donkey!! For centuries, donkeys have carried the weight of human progress, quite literally. They have helped transport goods, plow fields, and support livelihoods around the world.

We love our donkeys Mango, Sassy, Willow, Wanda, and young Spanky who bring so much joy and fun to the farm with their huge long-eared personalities.

Despite their loyalty and strength, donkeys are often overlooked, overworked, and underprotected. Many face harsh conditions, limited veterinary care, and social stigma. The word “donkey” is even commonly used as an insult!

Support donkey welfare and appreciate these gentle, intelligent creatures for all they’ve given us.

Such an awesome day with Commonwealth Saddles! We learned SO much during this clinic. It was such great information, hugely valuable to all participants, and extremely affordable.

We highly recommend reaching out to them for a clinic if you’re able to!

🚨 New Barn Rules🚨
Effective immediately, the following rules must be followed:

1️⃣ All treats must be surrendered upon arrival. Hand them over, no questions asked. Mini ponies must not be forgotten. 🍎🥕

2️⃣ If we step on the reins, lead rope, or your foot… oops. That’s just life now. We will no longer watch for your toes. 🤷‍♂️

3️⃣ Trotting is now optional—for us, not you. Sometimes we just feel like walking. 😌 If you’d like to trot, please get off our backs and run for a lap while we chase you with a crop. Maybe you will have better ideas when you get back on.

4️⃣ All lessons must include at least one “spook drill.” We pick when. Keeps you on your toes. 👻

5️⃣ Girth tightening is only allowed after extensive bribery. Cookies are the preferred currency. 💰

6️⃣ If we don’t feel like working, we don’t. We call this “Union Breaks.” 🐴✊

7️⃣ Mane and tail brushing is now a privilege, not a right. We will decide when and if you are worthy. 🎀

8️⃣ Jump heights will be determined ONLY by our mood. Could be 6 inches, could be 6 feet if we’re feeling frisky. We like surprises. 🎢

9️⃣ Carrots are tax-deductible. Give generously. 🥕💰

🔟 If you fall off, you owe us an apology. Clearly, it was your fault.

Signed,
The Lesson Horses 🐎

P.S. No, this is not up for negotiation.

Never underestimate the value of a lesson horse.

The horses that were selected to teach riders based on their brains rather than their conformation or appearance. They may not be the fanciest looking horses, may not be papered, and many are well past their prime, but despite all of that they teach new riders every week.

A beginner lesson horse may never live up to the expectations for jumping, barrel racing, equitation ring, etc that you aspire to… but at some point, they may have been the only horses with a kind enough disposition to teach you what you needed to learn.

Each lesson horse has different strengths and lessons to teach, and all are perceived uniquely by each of their riders from kids to adults. A horse might be called lazy, difficult, or stubborn by one rider, and in the same day be praised for being calm, steady, and dependable by another.

Lesson horses are the unrecognized heros behind many excellent rider’s careers.

Thank a lesson horse, they’re worth their weight in gold! ♥️
