Show season is just around the corner! We are hoping for an even better year than last and better weather too (please no torrential down pours mother nature). We're very excited to have our amazingly generous and loyal sponsors helping us out this year including Todd Equipment, Victoria Feeds Horse and Hound, Hubble & Son Agcom, and M&J Plumbing, and some new sponsors, Cover Tech, EQcentric Equine Services, and Better Mechanical. We are so thankful for their help in running our 2019 series. 

We've been running this show series for years now and have prided ourselves on running an affordable show series to make it accessible to all riders, especially locally. We know how hard it can be to participate in competitions when the prices can be so high. This year we have realized that we have to increase the show fees in order to keep running our series and we hope you all understand! The prices have been the same since our very first show, so it was time. Exact prices can be found on our updated entry forms. 

See you all Mothers Day Weekend!

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.
