Welcome to my Blog-website. I have decided to go this route to make my website more interactive, easier to update and a fresh new look.
For 2012 there will be many changes “around the ranch”. I will continue to teach some riding & hoof care lessons, but my focus will be more on Agility training and events. I became a certified trainer in this discipline this summer and am very excited to develop this sport within our province and beyond. There are only 2 qualified instructors in this sport in Canada at this time, besides myself there in one in BC. So, it will thrilling to spread the word and the fun around!
Otherwise I continue to work full-time as an education assistant for language at Carberry High school, a job I thoroughly enjoy, which gives me my summers off to play with the horses!
All our horses are doing well, including our star boarder – Foxie, who has helped many beginner riders this year in her role as prime lesson horse. Zoie became my “pink princess” in the Pink Yonder ride I did this fall, what a blast..and for such a good cause! Spirit is doing fine, still the king of the herd here! Serena “the wild one” continues to develop into a calmer, more trusting horse. Her story is this blog in archives. We will see if she develops into a riding horse some day, still has a ways to go. In the meantime she is in agility training and may shine in that arena some day!
Drop a line, leave a comment, just say hi! Seasons Ranch will be open for horse camping next spring, but likely won’t be offering any cabins next year due to some changing plans. Look forward to playing or riding with many of my friends ..old and new…in the amazing year of 2012 to come!
Oh…and meet our new dog – Tucker – a Norwegian Elkhound male that is 4 months old now.(chewing on a string)
Our dear dog Patsy had to be put down after suffering with bladder cancer that had spread, this last July. She is still missed.

Hi Hilda,
Tucker will be about 21 inches at the shoulder when he is grown. So will be about medium size, not as big as JD was thats for sure!

Hi Barb,
What a nice website you have. I was reading about Serena and her problem going in and out of the barn without hesitation. Did you try clicker training her? Clicker training is a wonderful teaching methode and very powerful, friendly and amazing results. It could be THE solution for Serena to get more confident in and around the barn.
I love the agility with horses too. So much fun to work on ground with a horse and see them getting more confident.
Friendly regards,
Saskia Dockrill, SK
