It was a thrill to spend time at the Halifax Lancers today. Although the weather outside was cold and rainy - the riders radiated warmth through their shared love of horses. It brought me back to my Pony Club days. Thanks to Willow, Jessica, Nana Jan and Cunningham for letting me spend time with you.

Took my daughter to a summer workshop. The staff were all lovely and she loved the Learned to Groom workshop. Getting to see the barn, learn about the horse and of course getting to interact and groom one. Such a wonderful experience!
