LOVE A SCHOOL HORSE PROGRAM

A Note from Susy Niles

"I still remember the first pony I rode. Her name was 'Sweet Pea'.  I rode her in red rubber Welly boots in a tiny red arena once a week. I lived for that day!"

The following is an excerpt from Susy's Christmas 2019 speech:

Our farm is so special and this is our ten year anniversary of being at this location known as Iron Horse Performance. 2019 was also our best year to date in my opinion. I’m not talking only of results and such, but this is the best group of people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. You all make me so proud and I love what IH has become. It’s become my dream - dreams like the Barbados International, dreams like the Royal, dreams like your child following into something they love. Like my childhood dreams.

Thank you for being an important part of it all.

2020 welcomed new horse/pony partnerships to the barn, new riders and so many riders advancing in their lessons.  I want to thank all of our parents, without you these kids would not have this amazing experience. Thank you to all my staff ... they are the very important behind-the-scenes crew. Together, we make everything possible.

 

Now we are faced with unprecedented times and we need good news.  I have some. Our horses are unaware of the pandemic. They are happy and healthy.  What is missing is you. Faced with not being able to host lessons and shows we are reaching out to you, our Iron Horse family for your support.  Our new "Love a School Horse" program will ensure that every school horse is cared for. 100% of your support directly cares for our fabulous schoolies. These challenging times force us to reach out to our IH family and I couldn’t ask for one better than this. 

 

Thank you!

Susy

Obviously you should sponsor me because I am so cute! Everyone loves a little pony and on top of that I have the most beautiful, long forelock you have ever seen. All cuteness aside I am also a super good pony. In 2013 I competed on the Trillium Circuit and finished overall champion in both the small pony division, as well as the C Equitation over fences. In most recent years, I have shown the challenge circuit with multiple wins in the hack division. I am a really cute mover and always try my best.

I hear you are thinking of sponsoring me? Well let me tell you why I am the best option! Back in my days I showed the Short Stirrup division on the Trillium circuit. Even though I'm pretty tiny I still marched around the courses like a pro! I have the smoothest canter and am now the queen of walk trot. I love being in lessons and playing games with the kids in camp. Oh, you should probably note that another thing I love is treats. Any treats. All treats. Sometimes I even get hungry during a ride so watch your knee caps… I've been known to take a taste every once in a while!

Hello there! Do you have any treats for me? A mint? An apple? Anything? Oh well that's okay, maybe you could sponsor me instead. That would be the best treat I could ask for! Although I am a newer addition to the lesson program I’ve been at Iron Horse for many years now. All of my life I've been an excellent show pony. I have shown on both the Trillium and A Circuits with many wins! I even competed at the Royal Winter Fair where I won the Small Pony Stake Class. They had the best treats there. Yum! I'm a super cool guy and if you sponsor me you won’t be disappointed.

Scout

Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure you all know me but just in case my name is Scout! I think I’d be a great pony to sponsor since I’ve been doing this for a long time now. Did you know Susy bought me when I was only 6 months old? I am an original! You should also know that I was the first pony she ever trained, and the first ever entry to the Trillium Circuit over 20 years ago! Although I still love to jump and even do a lead change for my riders now and again, I love to walk trot and teach the youngest riders the ropes.

Rosie.jpeg

Rosie

Hi I’m Rosie. Also sometimes known as Rocket Rosie. I am just a happy spotted pony who loves to go fast. I have great manners on the ground and love being groomed. This is especially good since I love to get muddy! For many years I have taken riders to the challenge series shows and brought home many ribbons. I have even done some Trillium shows too. Not only am I a lesson favourite but I am also a camp favourite. It's my favourite time of year! All year I can’t wait to see all the camp kids arrive and teach them everything I know. I'm an all round great pony and you should definitely sponsor me!

Bijou.jpeg

Bijou

Hi everyone my name is Bijou and I think I’d be a great pony to sponsor! I've done many challenge shows and always brought home good ribbons. I am a cute mover and always make sure to flick my toes! I also love to jump! When being ridden I am always a good girl and try my very best but I also make sure to make my riders work for it. I like to teach them that if they work hard, anything is possible. What some people don’t know about me is that two years ago I had a baby. I was a great mom! Now my foal is growing up and I’m super happy to be jumping again!

Gemini.jpeg

Gemini

Hi, I am Gemini and you should definitely sponsor me! I’m the only appaloosa at Iron Horse who has the most beautiful coat. I am very polite and love being groomed. I could be groomed all day. I have shown the challenge series for years and enjoy taking riders to their first shows. Seeing their smiles always makes me happy! I have a super smooth canter and love to jump. I will jump anything that's in front of me. I love being a lesson pony but I also love being a camp pony. All year I can't wait for the campers to come up and love me. They also bring the best treats!

Holiday.jpeg

Holiday

Hi everyone! My name is Holiday. Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that Susy also saved me from an auction. I have no idea how I ended up there but I am so grateful that Iron Horse is now my home and has been for many years. I love treats and am always looking for where they may be. Be careful because I might nibble your hand, or your pocket while searching. I have shown the challenge series for years and brought home many ribbons. I have the best lead changes and never miss one. Im pretty awesome. You should definitely sponsor me!

Jackson

Hi my name is Jackson! I am a barn favourite and here are a few reasons why I think you should sponsor me! I'm a very wise guy as I have been doing this “pony” thing for a long time now. All of my riders say I have a super comfy canter. I love to jump and have brought home multiple championship ribbons over the years. Nothing phases me! I am a pretty simple guy and always aim to please. I just want to make my riders happy! Did I mention I have a beautiful white coat? You probably didn’t even know that since I love to be muddy!

Drew.jpeg

Drew

Hi I’m Drew. Once upon a time I was the school horse master. I loved being brushed and always stood perfectly still in the crossties. I also loved teaching my kids all about riding. I have the smoothest trot and the comfiest canter. All the parents loved me! I am happily living the retired life now. All I do is eat, sleep, poop and repeat. It's great! I do miss being ridden sometimes but still love being groomed and seeing everyone smile. If you sponsor me, we can smile together!

cardigan.jpeg

Cardigan

Hi all my name is Cardigan! I joined the Iron Horse family when I was only 4 years old! Did you know I was originally purchased by the Stronach family to be a fancy pony for the famous Nikki Walker? They said I was a “little too green” at the time so that's when I came into the Iron Horse program. With a little more training I became an unstoppable hunter pony. I've had many championships from the large pony division to short stirrup on both the Trillium and A circuit. One of my favourite things to do is give kisses to my riders. That's if you have a treat of course. Oh, and one final thing… yes I am a pony...not a cow!

flare.jpeg

Flare

Hi my name is Flare! Although I am one of the best lesson ponies around town (I am told that a lot) I actually started my life as a driving pony and I didn't know anything about cantering or jumping. Fun fact, I still remember how to drive! I am so glad I learned how to jump though because it is so much fun. Once I learned my mom said I proved to be a winner! In my younger years I brought home lots of champion ribbons in the large pony division and continued bringing home champion ribbons in the short stirrup division. I still love to jump and enjoy teaching my little riders all about showing. I'd love it if you were to sponsor me!

Cheerio.jpeg

Cheerio

Hi my name is Cheerio and let me tell you why you should sponsor me! Did you know that I am the youngest school horse? I know it's hard to believe since I am so well behaved but I promise it's true! I have competed in the Challenge Series where I always got good ribbons. Not to brag but I often won the flat classes. I am a super cute mover and I think my golden coat is the real show stopper! It shines in the sun in the summertime! My personality is as equally golden as my coat. My favorite thing to do is cuddle and I love when my riders give me big hugs. If you sponsor me I'll be sure to give you lots of cuddles!

Candy

Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure you all know me but my name is Candy! You probably know me by my famous red ears. They are pretty awesome. I'll let you in on a little secret… although most people think I’m lazy, I absolutely love to jump. I could jump all day long. Besides jumping, I also love going on hacks around the farm and especially to the creek. Camp is also one of my favourite times as I love all the camp kids. Every week they paint me and I love seeing their faces light up. I also love the treats I get from being the camp unicorn!

Surgar.jpeg

Sugar

Hi I’m Sugar! I’m probably the sweetest and most easy going horse around. Just having people around me makes me happy. Oh and treats of course. I have the smoothest canter. I am the queen of “first canters” and love teaching kids all about it. Jumping is fun too and everyone always says I’m an overachiever. I mean… I just don't want to touch the jump! What a lot of people don’t know about me is that I have some western training too! I can neck rein and halt if you just lean back. I just love being brushed and having attention. I think you should definitely sponsor me since I'm such a sweet and easy going girl.

Hi I’m Daisy. In my younger days I was a school horse master. I have the best manners and love being brushed. I always stood perfectly still in the crossties so you could get every spot. I also loved teaching my kids all about riding. Even though I could be stubborn at times I always taught my riders to never give up. I am happily living the retired life now. I have to say It's pretty great getting to eat, sleep, poop and repeat every day! I do miss being ridden sometimes but still love being groomed and fed treats. I’d be really happy if you sponsored me!

Hmmm, why should you sponsor me? Here are some reasons why I think I’d be a great horse to sponsor… one; I’m beautiful! I have the prettiest brown and white coat with the kindest eyes. Two; I'm super sweet and make friends with everyone I meet. I could hangout with you all day long! Three; I'm a great lesson pony! I am very comfortable and easy to ride. Did you know I even have lead changes? Super cool, I know! I have also been to many challenge series shows and brought home many ribbons. I always try my best and am a very good girl.

Slurpppp… oh hello there! My name is Turbo! Sorry, I was just eating my soup! I should probably start by saying how much I love to jump!  What a lot of people don’t know about me is that for many years I was a great jumper horse on the Trillium circuit! I could go very fast, make tight turns, and was super careful not to touch any jumps. Going to all the shows was super fun and I brought home lots of ribbons! Although I am a little older and slower now I still love to jump and will try and show you my speed if you let me. I just have so much fun teaching my riders about jumping! I'd be jumping for joy if you sponsored me!

Token.jpeg

Token

Hi everyone, my name is Token! Along with my best buddy Scout I am also an Iron Horse original! What a lot of people don’t know about me is that Susy saved me. You see, as a young horse I somehow ended up in an action. It was awful, but thankfully that’s when she saw a twinkle in me and decided to take me home. I was so grateful and was sure to show everyone the amazing horse I am. Since she brought me home I have always been perfect. I spent many years competing and had lots of fun. Now I enjoy taking care of my little riders and seeing the smiles on their faces. You should definitely sponsor me because hey, they don’t call me “Token Favourite” for nothing!

Ben.jpeg

Ben

Hi my name is Benjamin, but you can just call me Ben! What a lot of people don't know about me is that for most of my life I was an excellent dressage horse! Then when I met my mom I learnt how to jump and boy is that fun too! We moved to Iron horse together in 2015 and competed on the Trillium Circuit together. Sometimes the flowers were scary but when I was brave I always got good ribbons! In 2016 my mom had to go to university so I joined the lesson program. I am so happy that now it's my turn to teach all my riders all about riding. I love being in the ring, but I also love hacking around. I'm pretty much cool with everything, especially if you sponsored me!

Franny

Hi everyone, Franny here! You should definitely sponsor me because I am such a good girl. I am super sweet and friendly and could cuddle with you all day long. I'm a pretty tall girl too. I like to think I’m the tallest horse in the lesson program. Don’t let that scare you though, I truly am a gentle giant. Like all my friends I enjoy the little kids, but what I really enjoy is teaching adults how to ride. I love taking the parents for their first trot, or first canter, or first walk around the barn. That's my favourite!

Chester

Hi my name is Chester! I'm a super handsome guy and get compliments on my looks all the time! Although I just joined the lesson program in the fall along with my friend Taz, I’ve had quite the career! What many people don’t know about me is that I used to live in Germany and jumped 1.40m in my early years. I was then imported to Canada by my mom and my showing career continued here. We competed in many big classes and had tons of fun! Eventually my mom's life changed and she donated me to Iron Horse. I continued competing and won many classes with my riders. I am happy I now get to continue teaching people everything I know. I love making people smile. I have a great personality and you should definitely sponsor me.

Percy.jpeg

Percy

Hi there everyone! My name is Percy! I started my life off as a racehorse and have a pretty cool tattoo under my lip to prove it! It was cool and all but definitely not the life for me! I prefer to go at a slower pace. A much slower pace. Since coming off the race track I have enjoyed life as a lesson horse. Jumping is fun, and I’m pretty darn good at it but my favourite thing to do is hack. I could walk around the property all day. My favourite lessons are the days in the summer where we all get to hack down to the creek. I'm a super brave boy. Nothing scares me so I always lead the way. If you choose to sponsor me I will be sure to show you my hacking expertise!

Taz

Hmmm, why should you sponsor me? Well let me tell you! I am a super cool guy. Although I just joined the lesson program in the fall along with my friend Chester, I have been teaching riders all I know for many years now. What's special about me is that I am a three ring horse! This means I can do jumper, hunter, or equitation classes. I am super good at it too! I have had many wins on both the Trillium and A circuit and even competed down in the United States too! I'm pretty simple and although I love riding I also love being fed treats. I will eat anything!

Brewster

Let me tell you why I think you should sponsor me! I’m a great jumping horse! I love it so much I sometimes get carried away. It’s okay though, sometimes my riders need a challenge now and again. Outside of the arena I love good grooming. All the different brushes are great but my favourite is a curry comb! I'm always itchy and the curry gives the best scratches. I would highly recommend it!
