WELCOME TO HORSEMANSHIP FARM

Our farm focuses on equestrian skills with a strong emphasis on horse management, care and selection, training and preparation and most importantly safely.

We will strive to do our best while you gain confidence and learn a great sport and responsible horsemanship.
We are proud members of our provincial equestrian federation the OEF and follow all the guide lines laid out by our equestrian bodies, meeting all the standards required.
We are also long standing members of the Horse Facilities council ensuring that riding establishments abide by safety and ethics in sport.
The Horsemans's Prayer
author unknown
Dearest God in Heaven,
Give me the strength to guide my horse, make my hands soft and my head clear.
Let my horse understand me and I him.
My heart you have blessed with a special love of these animals- let me never lose sight of it.
My soul you have gifted with a deep need for them, let that need never lessen.
Always let my breath catch as the sun gleams on an elegant head.
Always may my throat tighten at the sound of a gentle nicker.
Let the scent of fresh hay and a new bag of grain always be sweet to me.
Let the warm touch of a soft nose on my hand always bring a smile.
I adore the joy of a warm day on the farm.
The grace and splendor of a running horse, the thunder of it's hooves,
makes my eyes burn and my heart soar, let it always be so.
Dearest God,
Grant me patience, for horses are harnessed wind and wind can be flighty.
Let me not frighten or harm then, instead show me ways to understand them.
When I pass from this world, send my soul to no Heaven without them,
for this love you have given me graces my existence
and I shall cherish it, and praise You
