We're already getting excited here for March Break! We will be hosting a camp, very similar to our summer camp that everyone loves. There will be daily riding, arts & crafts, learning about horse care and communication, and natural horsemanship. Kids should look forward to easter egg hunts and tobogganing!

Sky Haven Equestrian Centre will be hosting Winter Sunday Schoolings. Our barn will be opened twice a month for indoor jump schooling. Schoolings include access to use our heated barn- equipped with heated washtall, tack room and washroom. Keep your horse in shape over the winter and ready to show once the warm weather comes back! $50 per horse or $200 per barn (up to 5 people), up to 3 people riding at a time. Dates: Nov 13, Nov 27, Dec 4, Dec 18, Jan 15, Jan 29, Feb 12, Feb 26, March 12, March 26, April 9, April 30.

Eeeeekkk!! The new show season is almost here (well kinda...). We already have our dates set out: May 29, July 10, and September 11! We are excited to offer a much more organized and polished show series this year with much more planning and some important changes made to timing and management. Stay tuned for more information!

My little sister, Ellice, qualified to compete in the Hunter- Jumper championships!! They are hosted at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. If you want to come out and support buy the tickets soon as she shows the second weekend of November. We are so proud of her and can't wait to watch her and Cal! http://www.royalfair.org/horse-show/featured-competitions/hunter-derby-national-championship

On another note, my mom and I just got certified in BodyTalk. It is an alternative natural healing therapy that can determine any emotional or physical traumas the body needs help with healing. I am going to get certified to treat horses in the near future so that I can use it as a diagnostic and treatment tool. To learn more: https://www.bodytalksystem.com

Additionally, I am going to a course in San Francisco in January to learn how to do William Bengston's healing method. This is extremely exciting because he has undeniably proved that he can cure cancer. To learn more: http://www.bengstonresearch.com 

This year's show season is over for Sky Haven Equestrian Centre. It was a great season with awesome weather, amazing people, and equine partners. We want to thank all of our sponsors and all of the great people that came out to all of our shows, we sure hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we enjoyed having you! We are already planning for next year's shows and would love to hear what you thought about this years, and if you have some suggestions for us. Please feel free to email me at ericaflak@skyhavenstables.ca. 

I would like to take some time to also thank my amazing students and their wonderful families. You guys really pulled together for the show and gave me so many 'proud coach moments'. Every time I get to watch my students in the show ring I am so impressed with their maturity and with how far they have come. The parents are equally amazing as they are so willing to help me and the other students, just like a true barn family. You guys bring me so much happiness and I am so glad to have all of you in my life. 

And finally, and I think everyone will agree with me on this one, thank you to the most amazing barn fairy, Ashley!!! She keeps the barn spotless and keeps the kids and parents laughing. She works tirelessly to make everything perfect so that I can be lazy! She is always impressing me with how far ahead she is of me and how amazingly thoughtful she is. WE LOVE YOU ASHLEY!

Thank you to everyone that came out this year and we can't wait to see everyone next year for more great fun! 

For the affordable price of 400$ a month, your equine partner gets the use of large paddocks with plenty of grass, constant water supply, large shelters, hay (if required), blanket changing, large indoor arena, large outdoor jumping ring, and grass ring, beautiful facilities and picturesque view. 

If you are interested in this offer please contact me, Erica Flak, at my email: ericaflak@skyhavenstables.ca or our Facebook page Sky Haven Equestrian Centre. 

Don't miss out! Limited spaces available! 

That means more time for teaching, riding, competing, and working on the camp and our shows! Even though I'm done University there is still lots of work to be done... In May I will be getting certified to do equine massage and I will be beginning my show season with Nitika (3rd level dressage) and Freckles (PSG and Inter 1 dressage). It will be Nitika's first season back after a season off (I was focusing on Freckles last summer so Nitika didn't get a chance to get out of the barn). 

Make sure if you are planning on coming to camp or attend the horse shows that you are getting all your paper work done and marking the dates in your calendar!! 

Make sure to like and write reviews on our Facebook page! Click the "f" icon on the left hand side of the screen under the gallery. I will be posting pictures on there as well as on my personal page (Erica Flak).

YAY for school being over and for new adventures!!

We picked up a new pony a few months ago, Polly, a 14.1 hh flea bitten grey mare. She has been an absolute peach, working hard for beginners and advanced riders. Come check her out! 

And please, if you are planning on coming to camp, we need to know ASAP! If there isn't enough interest we won't be able to run it. Get those entries in!
