I am "almost 50" this year and boy does time fly!!  I started riding again 3 years ago in a mid-life crisis....  and have enjoyed it since.  However, my nerves of steel from my youth is gone a little and enjoy a plodd thru the trails now.  My beautiful Reg. Quarter  horse mare Emmy has seen me through many of lifes difficulties from moving to a new town and marriage to losing my best friend last year to cancer.  I hope to ride until I can't anymore and then after keeping her for a beautiful lawn ornament! 


What is your favorite activity in the Silver Spur Riding Club and how could we improve it?

Trail riding and if I had a trailer I would be out and about more often.

Tell us about your Equine friend...

Emmy is a Registered Quarter horse mare going to be 7 yrs old in May/  She brought my comfort and reassurance, while after a bad fall from another horse, and she patiently works to regain my confidence.  Her sire is Dynamic Impressions and he has passed down many gorgeous qualities including a sweet temperment.  She lives with me on my 2.5 acre hobby farm and on our farm we have 2 bed and breakfast cottages which she recieves many admirers daily feeding her carrots and apples. I hope she and I can grow old together.

I have one horse named Diamond - had him since Oct 2011.:) Diamond is 11 years old and goes thru pretty much along terrain --  great trail horse. He does a flat walk and a smooth canter. He is 16 hh and an alpha and likes to be at front of line.   He is a sweetheart and enjoys the rides -- but likes his food afterwards!!!

I am a mature lady who loves to trail ride with friends, on my Morgan, Jack.


What is your favorite activity in the Silver Spur Riding Club and how could we improve it?

Trail Rides.  The only thing I can think of to improve the club is to have a list of members who are willing to trailer those who don't have trailers for a nominal fee, so that we can enjoy more of the activities.

Tell us about your Equine friend...

Jack is my 16 year old Mogan who is my best friend.  I brought him over from Ontario last year, when I moved to Vancouver Island,  so that we could enjoy the rest of our lives together.  Jack has been with me since he was 7 years of age.  I love this little guy.

About Me

I currently have a 30 year old horse My Baby Moon who I've owned for 22 years - he is pretty much a pasture ornament, but a lovely ornament he is!   Barb Smith has been kindly allowing me to ride Portia.  We have been exploring the trails in and around the Englishman River and Nanoose Bay.  I'm just getting back into riding and looking for a new horse to explore more trails.  My background is a little dressage, a little horsepacking (in the Rockies with Stan Walchuk) and lots of trail riding.  I was also the DC for Nanaimo Pony Club for about 5 years back a number of years.


What is your favorite activity in the Silver Spur Riding Club and how could we improve it?

I would like trail riding, camping, natural horsemanship (when I get my own horse) and some dressage.  I was out for the Chili Chilly Ride and that was lots of fun - the people were really nice and the food was wonderful!

Tell us about your Equine friend...

My Baby Moon (retired) is my barn buddy now.  I'm looking for a new horse to explore with.

About Me

Hello:  I have two standardbred, and play with them on the ground and in

the saddle using Parelli natural horsemanship techniques.  It

has really progressed our relationships, and I have found them

very versatile once their fear is gone and trust is established.

They are braver smarter and more in partnership with me.

Hope to see you on the trails sometime.   Sue.


What is your favorite activity in the Silver Spur Riding Club and how could we improve it?

I haven't participated in anything in the last year.

Frisco and Dreamer are standardbreds, both at level 2 natural horsemanship.
