This message is from: "Arthur Rivoire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -
It's been a hard winter so far. Not fit out there to train horses, so we're just taking care of them, keeping them healthy, clean, and drinking enough water. That in itself takes 6 + hours a day. Putting a positive spin on the frigid weather . . . It 's a good time to plan for the 13th season of our Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacations, and the two new programs we're offering. * Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacations - 13th Season - The key words are ' beginner' and 'vacation' - We're very serious about starting beginner correctly and safely, but we do have a whole lot of fun doing it. - Our 4-day course is based around the international sport of Combined Driving, and at the end of the four days, our students are driving creditable dressage and cones tests in our Mini CDE (combined driving event). -- Four full days of riding, driving, and learning. -- A wonderful gourmet lunch on the deck of Hill House overlooking the bay -- Theatre tickets to Festival Antigonish professional summer theatre -- A Wine & Cheese Beach Party with Horses - A Mini CDE with awards and certificates. -- Four Days * Nova Scotia Riding Vacations - 13th Season - If you'd prefer to spend all your time on the horse, rather than learning to drive, no problem. We've got the teachers and horses. -- New for 2004 --- * How to Train Your Horse to Drive - We'll show you all the steps from A to Z using one of our well-trained Fjordhorses. Four to Six Days - Includes gourmet lunches, trail rides, & Beach Party with Horses. * Overcoming Your Fear of Horses - Fjordhorses are said to be 'Confidence Builders' . . . 'Non-Threatening' -- However, in order to be safe and have the horse of your dreams, you must be confident, and we believe the only way to be condfident is to know how to Handle yourself when handling your horse. --- Optional Riding Lessons included at no extra charge -- Four to Six Days - Includes gourmet lunches & Beach Party with Horses. -- Also included . . . "A Taste of Driving" - ***** Our new offerings for 2004 will be run during the same time periods as the Beginner Driving Vacations. ----- Students taking the 'Train Your Horse to Drive Course' and the 'Overcoming Fear Course' will be integrated into the Beginner Driving Course. -- In other words, one big, happy, friendly group for social activities . . . morning coffees, gourmet lunches, beach party, theatre.
