Excited to kick off our Fall session tonight AND introduce you to someone new… 👀 Help us to welcome Sarah, who will be leading our Friday evening adaptive riding lessons! 👏🏼🤩

Sarah holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Victoria and a diploma in Equine Science from Olds College, with training in both English and Western horsemanship.

Her equestrian background includes working with dressage and reining trainers in Canada and spending a year in Italy working for an American reining trainer. Back home, Sarah started and competed her own Swedish Warmblood mare in dressage for several years. She also founded a successful marketing business serving the equine industry.

After stepping away while raising her family, Sarah returned to the equine world and discovered a passion for therapeutic riding. She loves helping people with physical, developmental, and other challenges experience the confidence, connection, and enjoyment that can come from riding, interacting with, and simply being around horses.

We’re so grateful to have Sarah on the Prairie Sky Team. 🥰

Can’t wait to see all our riders & volunteers tonight with Sarah and Sunday morning with Vernon. Happy Fall, Y’all!🍂🐴🍁❤️

It is with very heavy hearts that we share the passing of Bronson, one of our longtime Prairie Sky riders. Bronson brought an extraordinary amount of love, energy, and joy to everyone who worked with him, and his bright spirit will be deeply missed.

Some of our most treasured memories of Bronson are of his time at the barn, and over the past few years, especially with Star. There was a beautiful trust between the two of them—as Vernon put it, somehow Star always seemed to know exactly what Bronson needed.

For Bronson, the barn was about so much more than riding—it was a place where he could be himself, surrounded by people who believed in him and cheered him on every step of the way. Bronson loved music, Sesame Street, cars, riding, and the little moments in life that made him laugh. We feel so fortunate to have shared some of those moments with him.

Bronson’s legacy reaches far beyond the barn. Through the advocacy of his family, he helped inspire Bronson’s Policy, which will make playgrounds more accessible and inclusive for children and families across the community of Airdrie for years to come.

Even in his passing, Bronson gave an incredible gift to his community through organ donation, helping four other children—a gift with a truly immeasurable impact on those families.

To Bronson’s family: thank you for trusting Prairie Sky, Vernon, our volunteers, and our horses with Bronson’s care. Thank you for sharing him with us, and for filling our sessions with your cheering, energy, laughter, and joy.

We will forever be grateful to have been a small part of Bronson’s story. 🤍

Swipe to learn about Scooter’s impressive first career and why he became our herd’s natural leader—plus don’t miss his superhero reveal at the end! 🤩

From competitive team roping to therapeutic equine partner, Scooter’s steady, confident nature has made him an incredible fit in our programs at PSEAT. 🦄

We’re so grateful to his former owner, Colleen, for thinking of us when Scoots was ready for his next chapter. The best part? When it’s time to fully retire, he’ll return home to her. 🥹🥰

Another special second career at Prairie Sky for a very special horse. 💜
