It's another #TidBitTuesday! Did you know there are around 400 different breeds of horses in the world? Some breeds used for special disciplines like racing and pulling carts.

Our herd includes Haflingers, Norwegian Fjords, Quarter Horses, Saddlebreds, Clydesdale crosses, and more.

This week's TibBit Tuesday is that people used to think horses were colorblind. As we later learned, they are able to see yellows and greens better than other colours.

Our much loved Feature Friday's are changing to be a Feature of the Month. The feature will be made at the end of the month to highlight the work of our volunteers and the successes of our riders for that month. If there is a volunteer or rider you wish to nominate please send us a DM with some info about why you want to nominate them.

Remembering all the brave men and women that sacrificed so much for those they would never meet or know. Thank you to all those who have served and those serving. We are forever grateful!

Did you know horses have the biggest eyes of any other land mammal? Since their eyes are on the side of their head they can’t see directly in front of their face or behind them. #TidBitTuesday

2020 is almost over and it's time to get your new TROtt calendar.

As we coordinate the sale of 2021 Calendars featuring the TROtt herd, we are taking pre orders to ensure that anyone who would like one, can receive one.

Calendars will be $20 each. We ask that you please provide payment in exact cash or cheque at time of pick up. We expect the calendars to arrive sometime mid November. There will be two pick up options:

1. If you are coming to the barn for a lesson or to volunteer, once the calendars arrive, you will be notified that you can pick them up from the sign-in area of the barn, leaving payment in the drop box in the office door.
2.If you currently aren't coming to TROtt for lessons, there will be two weekends made available to pick them up. Which weekends you can pick up your calendars will be announced once our calendars arrive.

If you are interested but neither pick up option works for you, please let us know and we will work out an alternate solution.

If you are interested in a calendar, please send us a DM with how many you'd like as well as what email you can be reached at.

In past years, our calendars have helped us raise funds to buy new horses and items for our program, but this year funds will be going towards our operating expenses, to help us ensure we're able to welcome everyone back when it's safe to do so.
