New Leaf Farms

What a dream...

Ferd and Miss Sugar made it through their surgeries very well today. Ferd has retreated to solitude to process my betrayal and the loss of his manliness. Sugar is safely installed in our house for her recovery. Her little purple onesie to protect her incision is just too cute!! Fortunately our house cats are very patient about their guest.

We welcome your children ages 8+ to join us for a fun, inclusive week of horse camp. Located in Limehouse ON, our farm is a paradise for children who love animals. Our gentle horses, goats, chickens and cats will provide days of fun and learning.

We take on a holistic approach, letting kids do what they like best, playing! They will finish each day sweaty, dirty and full of stories. Our indoor arena keeps us out of the sun and rain. We ride and do groundwork with the horses, learning about their communication, care and handling. Children will learn how to be safe around horses and gain skills whether they're practiced horse-people or brand new to the equine world. We take a horse-first approach at New Leaf Farms, so our treatment of the horses is ethical and kind. All camps are facilitated by Melissa, who ensures everyone is included and having fun.

Activities include:
- equine assisted development
- horse behaviour and training
- horsemanship skill building
- horse handling and safety
- animal stewardship
- riding lessons and mounted activities
- crafts and games
- horse grooming and decorating
- only 6-8 participants per week
- lots of one-to-one coaching and development
- horse show on last day of camp for parents

Campers must bring their own lunches and snacks and dress appropriately for the weather. No special equipment is needed for this camp (helmets are available to borrow).

Camp hours are 9am-4pm. Cost is $465 +HST per week.

Join us for a magical evening enjoying the company of horses. The night will begin with meeting all of the horses inside the barn. After a brief safety demonstration, we will release the horses to our 10 acre back-property. You can enjoy wandering the fields and forest, (conveniently threaded with trails) while the horses graze and interact in their natural environment. We will have a bonfire to gather around, which will surely be visited by our many friendly barn cats, chickens and goats looking for pets and cuddles.
