A new challenge, equestrian style!!

A look at how our industry is being affected.

What a nice surprise this morning!! And no, I’m not talking about the snow! These guys from the Town of Grimsby noticed the giant potholes at the end of driveway, so they stopped and fixed them for us! Thanks again, guys!!

We are SOOOO excited to share some amazing news, especially when there has been so much troubling news lately! Our very own Hannah Zondag has been awarded the Habits of Excellent Horsemanship course from Dressage, Naturally through their Share The Love Campaign! Congratulations Hannah! Can't wait to support you (from a distance ) as you progress through this incredible online course. "Never underestimate the possibility for things to improve in ways you cannot yet imagine." -Karen Rohlf

We will be looking at doing all of these. Any little bit helps. Stay safe!

If the Aisling Ridge horses could speak, I think it would be something like this. I am a lesson horse I am a horse that isn’t as recognized as the top hunter jumpers, the best western pleasure horse, or the 1D barrel horse; I am a lesson horse. I am the backbone of the foundation to do all of those things. I am a lesson horse.... I am not loved by one person. I am loved by several people. I don’t have my person, I have my people. I am a lesson horse. I will teach your child and yourself more than just to ride. I will bring your child out of their shell. I will teach your child about life. I will be yours and their shoulder to cry on. I am a lesson horse. I will bring my family the joy of teaching kids. I will bring my family's business growth. I am so loved by my family. My family allows others to show me love and enjoy me. I am a lesson horse. At the end of your child’s journey on a lesson horse, they will out grow me. They will find one that jumps higher, a horse that is show quality, a horse much faster than me. But, I will never outgrow being a lesson horse. I will be the one that loved your child and helped your child grow into the rider and person they are. I am a lesson horse. At the end of my time as a lesson horse; I will be covered in grey hair. Each grey hair came from each hour I spent as a lesson horse. I will be in a field of green grass, I will be taken care of as I was when I was a lesson horse. I will watch your child from across the pasture love her new horse. But, I will love your child more than any horse can. I will be the backbone of the business, the family, and your child. Don’t forget about me, I am a lesson horse. I am a lesson horse. by Katlyn Hopper
