In light of today’s Covid press conference and the new guidelines detailed, Rainbow Riders will be suspending this remaining week of our winter semester. You will receive a credit for the missed lesson to go toward your next semester. Our next semester is scheduled to begin the week of Feb 22. While we hope we can run program at this point, it is dependent solely on Government directives so please keep your eyes open for updates. We want to do our part to keep our Rainbow community and the community at large safe and Covid-free! For further information email [email protected]

Thank you @emilygeorge06 for your kind words and the amazing photo of our hardworking program horse, Stetson. We simply could not run our #therapeuticriding program without our many dedicated volunteers. Everyone you meet at Rainbow Riders is extremely passionate about what we do. And why not...we are the luckiest people who get to bring the joy of horses to so many #equinephotographer #rainbowridersnl #volunteersrock #volunteersarepriceless #belgianclydesdale #horsesofinstagram #therapyhorse #therapyhorsesofinstagram #specialneeds #barnlife

On Friday evening, we held a congratulatory pizza party here at the barn to celebrate our competitive riders of 2020. Nathan, Julia, Keely, Theresa, and Seamus competed nationally in Equestrian Canada Équestre para-dressage video competition series. This was a first for all of our competitors and we are so proud of their hard work and dedication in preparing for this opportunity. They received great scores and feedback from the judges, and even brought home some ribbons as a cherry on top! Thanks to Equestrian Canada for providing this opportunity for our riders. We are looking forward to participating again in 2021! #horse #horsesofinstagram #dressage #paradressage #rainbowriders #equestrian #equestriancanada

Stetson hopes you enjoy your weekend as much as he enjoyed this Stetson-sized carrot! #rainbowridersnl #weekend #therapyhorse #cantra #stjohns #nl

Meet Rainbow’s newest addition, Figaro or Figgy for short named for her resemblance to Pinocchio’s sidekick. She’s a busy little thing, fearless but also cuddly. Olaf isn’t sure yet what to make of her but he’s coming around! Lol #barncat #barncatsofinstagram #newkitteninthebarn #rainbowridersnl
