New Website is LIVE!

Our website has been a little out of date for a while. Considerable effort has gone into completely redesigning the look of the site and into updating the content. We hope to stay on top of things going forward. There's still a lot to add (and some Google "stock photos" to remove from the Gallery section) but we're getting there. Please let us know what you think, good or bad!

New fees and pricing in effect.

The horses keep demanding raises. Just kidding! But prices for everything involved in operating and maintaining Equine Meadows continue to climb and our fees need to reflect those increases. Please see the "Programs" tab for the new fees.

2021 COVID-19 Updates

October 2021 Covid-19 Update

Government of Newfoundland & Labrador: Vaccine Passport Requirements
As of Friday, October 22, 2021, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador requires that all recreational facilities (including Equine Meadows Horseback Riding Facility) allow admittance only to individuals who can prove they are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Equine Meadows has modified its operating policies and procedures in the following ways to ensure adherence to this government requirement:

  • Beginning Friday, October 22, 2021, all participants in the lesson program 19 years of age and older will need to verify their double vaccination record.
    If you cannot provide this proof, you will be denied entrance.
    Please submit your vaccination record by email to angelatulkoconnell@gmail.com

  • Children 18 years of age or younger are not required to provide vaccine passports at this time.

  • Only registered students are permitted in any buildings at this time.
    Parents, friends, significant others, or visitors of any kind are NOT permitted to enter any of the buildings.
    Spectators are welcome to watch during outside lessons only, as long as social distancing can be achieved.

  • Please thoroughly read all information so you know and understand the new procedures we have had to implement.

Exemptions

Certain activities are exempt from proof of vaccination requirements.
These include:
Sport and Recreational Activities for Children and Youth

Individuals ages 12 to 18 years are not required to provide proof of vaccination in the following settings:
  • Arenas
  • Indoor gyms and fitness facilities, yoga studios, and dance studios
  • Indoor sports or recreational activities
  • Indoor group music, art, dance, and drama activities
Individuals ages 12 to 18 years are required to provide proof of vaccination in all other settings where proof of vaccination is required.

We understand that this could be a trying time for all of us, and we appreciate your continued patience as we work through these new government requirements.
However - we will not tolerate any rudeness or abuse directed towards staff as they fulfill their required duties.

Please note: There will be no refunds or extensions of memberships if you choose to not provide a vaccination passport in time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding in these matters.

Equine Meadows - Updated 2021 Schedule due to the Covid19 Pandemic

Regretfully, again this year we will not be running our annual Summer Camps in 2021. Due to provincial Covid19 health restrictions and social distancing guidelines, it is not feasible to offer our popular, week-long Summer Camps with 24 students and still maintain adequate physical distancing.

UPDATE May 1st, 2021: Similar to last year we have decided to run group lessons in its place. Due to provincial Covid19 health restrictions and social distancing guidelines we feel it is in our best interest to run low ratio group lessons to ensure we can safely operate, while still providing the opportunity for children to learn about horses. All lessons for these programs will be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday – Friday.

Registration for both these summer programs will open on Monday May 17th and continue until the program fills.

To register, please email angelatulkoconnell@gmail.com

Emails will be answered on a first-come, first-serve basis. (Please note that early messages received before May 17th will not be given priority!)

We will be offering the following programs for Summer 2021:

Introduction to Riding Summer Program for students aged 7 - 12

Ages: 7 - 12

Cost: $400.00

Dates: This program will start June 28 until September 5, 2021

This program will consist of one (1) hour-long lesson per week for 10 weeks (10 lessons total), with all lessons scheduled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday to Friday. This program will follow the P’tit Trot Introduction to Riding Levels Bronze, Silver and Gold. The student-to-instructor ratio will be 2:1. This program is a fantastic introduction to horses for riders who are in their first years of riding. Additional information about this program can be found at www.ptittrot.ca

Tiny Trot Summer Program for students aged 3 - 6

Ages: 3 - 6

Cost: $200.00

Dates: This program will start June 28 until August 29, 2021

This program is a great way to introduce your young child to horses and ponies. All lessons are 30 minutes long with a 10 minute in barn topic and a 20 minute ride on one of our school horses. This program is only offered during the 9 weeks of the summer session, with all lessons scheduled between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm Monday to Friday. All tiny trot lessons are 1 student to 1 instructor, which means space is very limited and this program tends to fill very fast. (All lessons at this level are ridden on a lead/ lunge line.)

PLEASE NOTE:

Both these programs are only being offered as an alternative to our usual Summer Camps, students participating in the Introduction to Riding and Tiny Trot Summer 2021 programs should not expect to be placed on the priority list for returning students when registration opens for the regular Fall program of lessons. While this program is similar in most ways to our regular lesson programs (pricing, time, student : instructor ratio), it is only being offered this summer due to the temporary capacity that is made available by the cancellation of our regular Summer Camps. It is important that any students registering for the Summer 2021 Introduction to Riding Program recognize that they will not qualify for the priority registration for returning students in the Fall. Students registered in this temporary program can apply for any fall program unfilled spaces that may be available after the priority registration period ends on August 30th, 2021.
