Punkin Patch Farm

We have now purchased several items ( lead rope, reigns..) from Punkin Patch Farm. The quality is second to none, and we had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Kathy while we were there last week. We took the drive from Ottawa, and we're glad we did. She came highly recommended and were glad we listened. Will definitely return.

This place makes me smile, well done good hearted horse care. I wish this experience for everyone.

My girls, 5 and 7, are taking natural horsemanship lessons there. The owner, Kathy Knight, is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain and demonstrate everything, and she is great with kids. Her horses are beautiful, well kept and healthy and she knows them really well. The place is very clean and well kept.

My 7 year old daughter did about 5 natural horsemanship lessons with Kathy at Punkin Patch Farm. She has been riding at a therapeutic riding centre for a few years and this past year had a great introduction to natural horsemanship in BC. My daughter's comfort level and experience with horses increased tremendously. She learned a lot with Kathy's clear and experienced teaching.

The first 3 lessons were groundwork with the minis (my daughter did not ride during those lessons but learned communication and played games). The 4th and 5th lessons she rode Toby.

Also noteworthy are the ponies here are are gentle, responsive, well-trained and well-socialized. Unlike other places we've been where ponies may be easily frightened, her ponies are relaxed. This makes a big difference for my comfort level as a parent trusting that my daughter is in a safe place while delving deeper into her love of horses.
