As the handsome face of February, Zip shows off his fiercest side eye – a look that his paddock mate Riley knows all too well. But, have no fear – although some friendships take time and effort, these two have become the best of pals!

Happy #InternationalThankYouDay!

Here at TROtt, we're especially big on thank you’s as we recognize and appreciate that our organization would not be what it is without our incredible riders, volunteers, donors, or horses.

From our herd to yours – THANK YOU!!!

Happy New Year! With 2023 in full swing, it’s

Happy New Year!

With 2023 in full swing, it’s time to open your new calendars to our January feature – Belle!

Before coming to TROtt, Belle competed in eventing competitions. Eventing has competitors compete in dressage, cross-country and show jumping.

Last weekend, we had the honour to host @equestrian_can's @clivee.milkins!

We learned so much and are thankful for his time sharing his expertise!

Huge thank you to everyone that donated to help us

Huge thank you to everyone that donated to help us build a shelter in paddock #7 for Giving Tuesday!

It's thanks to your generosity we raised over $4,400!!

We are still a bit short of the $6,000 needed to build the shelter. If you are able, we'd greatly appreciate any donation you can make to help us build this shelter.

Paddock #7 is where horses first go when arriving at TROtt to quarantine, where they go to recover from an injury or illness, or where they can get fresh air while their usual paddock is being cleaned.

Time to flip your TROtt calendar for the last time

Time to flip your TROtt calendar for the last time in 2022!

If you'd like one for 2023, they are now on sale at the barn for $20.

All money raised from the sale of our calendars goes towards caring for our horses and keeping the costs of our lessons low for our riders.

The day is not done yet! There’s still time to donate to TROtt this #GivingTuesday as we raise funds to build a shelter that our horses can comfortably enjoy during their time away from the rest of the herd in paddock 7. All of our horses have been, or will be quarantined in this paddock at some point – and a shelter would offer them a place to seek solace from harsh weather.

Please consider making a donation of any size to help us reach our goal of $6,000. All donations of $20 or more will receive a charitable tax receipt. Your contribution can be made through our Canada Helps at the link in our bio. Any amount goes a long way!

It’s finally here! Join the world’s largest generosity movement with a donation to TROtt this #GivingTuesday. All donations will go towards building a new shelter for the paddock in front of the barn.

When we take in new horses, or when a horse in our herd is sick or injured, they are placed in this paddock for a quarantine period away from the other horses. We want to be sure that their time in this paddock is as comfortable as possible, and with a shelter we will be able to provide them a place to seek out shade or cover from sun/rain.

The important programs we run would not be possible without our four-legged friends – so this Giving Tuesday, we hope you’ll help us show them ALL the love! If you are willing and able, please make a donation through our Canada Helps form at the link in our bio!
