Barn & Horse Guidelines
We're glad to have you near the horses — a few things keep everyone, including them, safe and calm.
Visiting the Horses
Visits must be arranged in advance — please text 705-761-3525 before visiting. Guests may observe horses from outside the fencing only.
Fencing & Safety
All paddock fencing is electric and delivers a strong shock — do not touch. Gates are not electrified. Guests are not permitted to enter paddocks, stalls, or the arena at any time.
Interaction with Horses
Do not feed horses unless approved. Horses may approach out of curiosity — please remain calm and don't reach over fencing.
Calm Environment
Horses are sensitive to movement and sound. Please avoid running, shouting, and sudden movements (including umbrellas or fast gestures).
Barn & Arena Areas
Access is by prior permission only. Please approach quietly, and avoid walking close to the arena during lessons.
Children
Children must be closely supervised at all times when near horses or paddocks.
Walking Trail
A walking trail is available for safe viewing of the paddocks. Please remain on marked paths where possible.
Our Approach
We value calm, respectful interaction with horses. Even quiet observation can be meaningful.
