Chance has gotten his back to school haircut! Now he can see his lesson partners 😁

Our final Evening With Horses is Booked for Friday September 18th at 6:15pm.

Join us for a magical evening enjoying the company of horses. The night will begin with meeting all of the horses inside the barn. After a brief safety demonstration, we will release the horses to our 10 acre back-property. You can enjoy wandering the fields and forest, (conveniently threaded with trails) while the horses graze and interact in their natural environment. We will have a bonfire to gather around, which will surely be visited by our many friendly barn cats, chickens and goats looking for pets and cuddles.

I deserve an award! Here I am working diligently on a new Part-Boarding Program for the farm, and these monsters are trying to distract me. It's barely working 😅

A passion for horses can start really early for some. Little Hooves is a program to teach children how to interact and handle our horses and other animal partners in a safe, engaging way. This program also helps younger children gain valuable skills such as increased focus and anxiety management. Lessons are 45-minutes in length and run monthly. There are up to 4 children per session.

Activities:
- safe handling of horses
- tricks and obstacles with horses
- liberty work and off-lead fun
- games and challenges to enhance communication skills, focus and self-regulation
- safe interactions with our goats, cats, guinea pigs and chickens
- development of self-calming techniques including breathing and somatic exercises
a fun and inclusive way to meet other animal-lovers and make friends

We do not offer riding in this program due to the limited focus of children under the age of 8. Children must be able to follow basic directions for safety of humans and animals.

Cost: $220/ 4 week session

We are now offering Equine Energy Healing Sessions.

Equine energy healing is a holistic practice based on the idea that horses and humans share sensitive biofield energies. When at rest, humans can greatly benefit from the power of the horses' energetic fields. Common results are feelings of relief from stress and anxiety, clarity regarding life situations and healing from trauma.

For our sessions, clients meet and interact with all of our horses and learn a little about each horses' history. They are then invited to choose which horse to work with for their healing session. A massage table is set up outside of the horse's stall, and the client gets comfortable on the table. As the client eases into relaxation, the horse begins whatever healing it feels the human needs. This may including touching the person, but often the horse simply stands over the client, working their magic. During this time Melissa will pass any intuitive message the horses may offer to the client.

Sessions typically last 60-75 minutes. Clients are encouraged to dress for the weather. The session is private, only Melissa will be in attendance so clients can fully relax and engage.

The cost is $145 +HST. Message us today to book your session!

Welcome to Horses is a 4-week introductory course to learn about our amazing horses and programs.
