Lesson Cancellation Update - Lesson WILL RUN SATURDAY

The weather today is much nicer then they were forecasting and there is hardly any wind so we have decided to run classes as usual for Saturday.

Sunday is still calling for below -20c with the wind chill so we are still planning on running the theory lesson tomorrow.  We have a terrific video on how to ride cross country that will get us dreaming of the warmer weather, we'll do some exercises on the balance ball that will improve our balance in the saddle, practice bandaging on each others legs, and much more!  We'll do all of these activities in the heated camp trailer so we'll stay toasty warm. The theory lesson will run from 11am-1pm but we will divide topics into 40min segments so you can come for part or all of the session.

Extreme Cold Weather Alert: Saturday, January 22 - Sunday, January 23rd

Due to the extreme cold weather alert on for this weekend, we have decided to cancel regular classes.  We will offer a 2 hour theory lesson both Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am - 1:00pm.  We will cover a variety of topics such as boots and bandaging, equine first aid, fitness and conditioning, balance and flexibility for riding, and more!  We will run three stations which participants will rotate through so you are welcome to come for part of the session instead of the full two hours if you prefer. 

If you do not wish to participate in the theory lesson, you may schedule a make-up lesson.  Please contact us by email info@raynhamstables.com to let us know if you will be attending.  If you speak with anyone in your lesson, pass along the details!
