June Update
THANK YOU So much to those that have donated in April and May. We really apprciate it! We wouldn't have been able to keep all the school horses without your help.
We are not out of the woods yet. Although we are allowed to start up with some services, we can not return to normal operations. which means it will still be very difficult to keep the horse thourghout the summer, and the winter even harder as our high/busy season looks to be shrinking more and more.
Continute to help by signing up for some Private Lessons! Or Donate if you prefer.
Note: due to social distancing rules still in place; beginner lessons where you need close 1 on 1 help is not yet possible.
If you have outstanding lessons with us, and have not received our email. please let us know.
DRAW:
We will hold a draw soon for those that have donated so far and will contact the winner(s).
Draws:
1. Pack of 4 private lessons
2. 1 private lesson
3. 1 Coaching at a show (assuming we have some)
May Update
Thank you so much to all those able to help out in April! we basically covered the food for all of our schoolies.
It doesn't appear we will be able to starup again in May... fingers crossed we can in June (current "plan" suggest we should be able to do something by then).
May is the month for blacksmith and vaccinations! If you are able to help cover costs for food and some of the vet expenses, we hope to increase our sponsorship a little this month!
Thank you again! And we hope to see many of you soon!
Open Letter to our CEC Family
Dear CEC'ers,
We hope all of you are staying healthy and safe during these uncertain times. Everyone has found themselves in a new and unprecedented situation, some still able to work and others left worrying over their finances.
We have now reached a point where lessons have been shut down for an extended period of time, and the end is not yet in sight. Many of you have that favourite school horse that you love and are missing terribly. We understand that bond, not only do we love all of the horses in our care, but we grew up dreaming about our own schoolie friends. These school horses still require expensive daily care, some needing medications regardless of them working or not.
At this time, the government directives do not help us with operating costs, and the income generated through lessons by the schoolies is no longer available to cover their care. We would appreciate any help or support that could be provided. Perhaps though sponsoring your favorite equine partner with donations to help with feed and care or continuing part-boarding even though you are unable to ride.
We continue to care for our horses and miss seeing all of you here riding, as much as you must miss being here. We are doing our best to keep all of the school horses here at CEC but are unable to predict what the future will bring and thinking about how we can get the farm and horses through this.
We hope you and your families stay safe and healthy and we see you back in the saddle again soon.
Warmest Wishes,
Marc and Andrea
