Jill and Mary-Clare attended the Equestrian Canada Convention and are shown here with Cara Whitham. Cara was recognized by the Dressage Community for her years of dedication to the sport.
We are so appreciative of Cara for her continued passion and support of coaching and especially for her help to us when the English Rider Learn To Ride 1-10 was being developed. We fondly remember being told to meet Cara for lunch at the 2006 convention where she took us through the draft
page by page and thank her for her wisdom and insight!

The Winter of 2015!
Mid January we all thought we were going to have an easy winter. Then the snow started weekly even twice weekly with the St. Patrick's Day Blizzard hitting hard on top of the other snow!

Wonderful summer weather in Nova Scotia and on a beautiful July 2014 day, riders were out for some fun in the derby fields including a hack to the Osmond's huge hay field across the road! That is the big field with the billboards that you see along the St. Croix as you head to Windsor from Halifax!

What a lot of fun, the Horses At Work gang decorate for the tack room contest at the fair! To honor the judge, Mary Walker, (longtime horsewoman, horse mom, judge, and supporter here in the Maritimes as well as an original member of the Halifax Junior Bengal Lancer Musical Ride) - we decided to "kick it up a notch"! Rachel's mom kindly offered her acting abilities as the English Butler and invited Mary in for a "stirrup cup" if you like. Nice to have a good bit of fun and yes - we won the award for Light Horse. Plans are being laid we hear for next year!
