Farm update: Equine Arena & paddock This past weekend we got a major and much needed upgrade to our outdoor riding arena and back paddock! This will be a huge game changer in the types of programs we can provide to the public. It will make running camps, trail rides and horse riding lessons so much easier and more enjoyable. ... We are absolutely thrilled! It looks like a whole new world behind the barn. We went from a muddy bumpy paddock to a smooth sandy paradise. Quite the transformation! A BIG thank you to our generous donor who made it all happen! credit: Joanna Kreuzer #restoration #horsesasteachers #horsesofinstagram #ashfieldfarm #farmlife #equine #equineprograms #ottawa #getoutside #transformation #outdoorridingarena

The Ashfield Farm House is heated by an outdoor wood furnace in the winter. One of our ongoing chores at the farm is to prepare firewood to keep the place nice and toasty warm. So if you hear a chain saw running and people passing wood to each other you will know it’s furnace prepping time! Let the wood cutting commence - saw, split, stack repeat! ... #ashfieldfarm #farmlife #woodstove #winterprep #getoutside #wood #team #togetherisbetter #autumn #unity #ottawa #farmchores

It's been busy here at Ashfield the past couple of weeks as we prepare for the cold winter months ahead. We have been busy chopping wood for our fire places and furnace, closing the pool, and preparing all of the animals for the winter season. Bring on the cold!... #wintertime #farmlife #beprepared #ashfieldfarm #farmhouse #firewood #staywarm #unity #stewardship #together #ashfieldfarm

We have had two successful riding lessons with the grow leadership crew! They learned how to safely mount a horse, good equitation and how to direct and steer a horse using five cues. #ashfieldfarm #horsesofinstagram #horselessons #grow #leadership #teamwork #farmlife #workhard #equitation #horses #progress
