I Love Candy!

Published by • Apr 13th, 2013 • Category: Odds & Ends

by Jenny | Hi, my name is Jenny and this is my very first blog! I am younger than a lot of you but that doesn’t stop me from telling you about my favourite riding school pony, Candy. She is a beautiful chestnut with a white stripe down her nose. Candy is my pony hero because when my first riding school pony, Smurf, got ill…



How I Got Spike

Published by • Mar 24th, 2013 • Category: Odds & Ends

by molly_spike | When I was five, I started riding. I enjoyed every minute of it and never wanted my lesson to end. But on the 22nd of September, 2009, my yard had to close due to financial issues. All the horses were to be sold. All of them got sold to the same stable, which had just opened and was looking for horses… all of them except my beloved Spike…



My First REAL Trail Ride

Published by • Mar 13th, 2013 • Category: Odds & Ends

by Macy | A couple of months ago I went on my first REAL trail ride by myself. I got Jet out of the pen and got out the saddle and bridle. I hooked him up to the cross ties, groomed him and tacked him up. I got out the step stool and hopped on him. I usually don’t ride by myself, but I only was gone for a little bit. (And no, I don’t ride by myself all the time because it’s not very safe.)



Getting Our First Horse

Published by • Mar 3rd, 2013 • Category: Odds & Ends

by Macy | One day in June, my sister and I were getting ready to get our first horse! I was so excited. He was a very old white pony named Jet. My family never had a horse before, but we had many farm animals. My sister took horseback riding lessons for a year at a local stables and I took a few, too.



Bareback Jumping (But in My Case, Falling Off)

Published by • Jan 15th, 2013 • Category: Riding Advice

by molly_spike | Loads of videos on YouTube of bareback jumping have made me really jealous, so I decided to try it on quite a fresh horse called Armani. Yes, I know, kind of silly to jump on a fresh horse…



My Pony

Published by • Jan 3rd, 2013 • Category: Odds & Ends

by molly_spike | I have had lots of lovely requests to write a blog about my pony, Spike. Spike is a 15.2hh grey appaloosa and is a big softie. He is amazing. He is so quiet and has so many manners. All the horses love him, even the stallion who is stabled near to him…

The Journey

by Madelaina | People say that all you really need is a dream, but taking that dream into reality requires more time and dedication than some of us might’ve been prepared for. This was the case with a horse I used to ride. The bond we formed was sort of like a latch on a gate, where at one certain angle everything has the magic of gliding smoothly into place…



Best Birthday Ever

Published by • Apr 11th, 2012 • Category: Showing & Sport

by Avy | The morning sun was gleaming through the windows of my room. I gave a smile to it and stretched. I opened my door and the aroma of syrup and pancakes just bursted into my nose. It was a special day. My birthday…

by HorseWings | It must have been around 7:30 PM when we boarded the wagon. My family had planned this ride to see the amazing Christmas light display, and though we were all cold, we were teeming with excitement…
