It felt like yesterday that we were writing that the doors would be opening soon .. and today, I’m writing about the end of the season #2!!
2018 surpassed every expectation we had of this journey and we are really excited for the future. We have met faces from all of the world (which is still insane to us!), from all walks of life and watched so many dreams of riding a horse come true. While we try not to take this lifestyle for granted, both Shawn and I know we do at times .. we have some pretty awesome horses that make this happen day in and day out and when you beautiful visitors tell us we are so lucky – we know! 😉
We spend an incredible amount of time behind the scenes ensuring that our animals are cared for, educated and ready for all kinds of riders from beginner to experienced. Some days are long and exhausting, but the good ones outweigh those crazy ones! Our horses continue to be kind and patient and they deserve the biggest applause of all. We know every single day that they get saddled that they are going to give it their best. We are pretty excited to be integrating the up and comers throughout the next few seasons – so it won’t just look like Teddy + Major do all the grunt work around here haha.
A few shout outs to those who have made this year a pretty outstanding:
Westlock Veterinary Center – Cali Lewis, Sven, and everyone who makes each of our visits a good one. Thank you for putting the care of our animals #1. The professionalism and love of what you do is exceptional.
Barr-North Veterinary Services – Dr. Cera … thank you for keeping our horses happy with every adjustment we bring them in for.
Sizzlin Stitches & Custom Advertising – For our lawn chairs, hats and jackets that we get to advertise with – we can’t thank you enough for your hard work!
Laurie McKay, Wilma Kowaluk-Ladouceur + Ed – THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts – our horses wouldn’t be as fat as they are without you guys lol ❤ .. They love pretending to be wild out there!
To our friends and family – our biggest supporters of all. Cheering us on from the sidelines and helping us exercise our horses during visits!
To all of you, who like, share and book rides/birthday parties with us. It wouldn’t be this awesome with out you. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your adventure and we can’t wait to see more new faces and hopefully ones we’ve seen before come back!!!
