Hello from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia - For any of you who are looking for Vacation Spots for this year, we have a few places open for our Nova Scotia Beginner Driving Vacations. And for those who aren't familiar with our program, here is a very brief description: We're looking forward to our 8th Season teaching beginners how to harness and drive safely. It's a 4-Day course, Monday - Thursday. Our course is an Introduction to Combined Driving. We teach people a little dressage, how to drive cones and obstacles, and how to drive cross-country. At the end of the course, on Thursdays, we hold a MINI CDE. Afterwards, at lunch, we announce winners and award prizes. Everyone has a lot of fun, and really gets into the spirit of competition, albeit, low-key and relaxed competition. Driving is in the morning. Then we break for a gourmet lunch on the deck overlooking the bay. Afternoons, we trailride. Wednesday afternoon is our Beach Party with Horses, where we take two horses, hampers of wine & cheese and head to our secret beach. Then we lounge about enjoying the wine and cheese while two of the guests ride on their own up and down the deserted beach. When they've had enough, and are ready for a glass of wine, two other guests take their place. --- As is everything else in our program, this is a nice, relaxing party. The cost is $500 U.S. per person for four days. Our season is from June 26 - Aug. 31. The "Charming Cottage" on the farm is fully booked for this season, but we can recommend accomodations in the area. -- We are hoping to build another cottage for next season. Many weeks are filled, but we have some openings during the following weeks: June 26 - June 29, July 3 - July 3, July 17 - July 20, Aug. 21 - Aug. 24 & Aug. 28 - Aug. 31. Please visit our webite for more information, and please call or email. We're happy to do all we can to see you have a wonderful stay in Nova Scotia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FJORDHORSES FOR SALE FROM BEAVER DAM FARM: QUINTESA ( Konggard x Mira - imported Norwegian mare).
