Rugged Cross Stables

Hi everyone!!
So the time has come. Rugged Cross Stables on highway 3 has closed and the barn is now operating at the new location.
Boarding, lessons, part boarding etc will all be being offered at this new location

Any questions please reach out
Thank you!!!!

With our show season started i want to express how proud I am of all the riders.

As a rider we have to remember that we cannot value our riding based on the colour of the ribbons we walk home with at the end of the day.

Perseverance, hard work, dealing with nerves and working towards our personal goals should be the main focus.

Also, it's wonderful that even though this is an individual sport, watching the riders come together as a team and cheer each other on is such a special moment.

Continue setting goals, work hard but remember this is supposed to be fun!!

So many life lessons horses can teach us.

A beautiful mare who produced so many lovely horses. She had an amazing retirement lifestyle living with her 2 buddies (Savannah and Hannah Mae)

Purdys Fundraising - Easter 2024 Season Start a seasonal Fundraising campaign with Purdys Chocolatier!

Percy just wanting to say hi and welcome to the page

Rugged Cross Stables is doing a November food drive for local food bank (s). We would like to make this a friendly competition with all the barns/stables in Ontario to challenge on who can get the most amount of nonperishable foods, hygiene products (men/women) baby food/diapers.
Winners get bragging rights, but in all honesty the real winners are the food banks and those that require the food.
There are 30 days in November lots of time to help fill the food banks.

Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you for the many gifts and well wishes I received over the holidays. I have been spoiled beyond belief.
Also a huge thank you to the barn elves that offered to do chores Christmas day and Boxing day so I could have time off to spend with my family.
I'm very blessed
Denise
