What is EAPD?

Webmaster — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:36:04 +0000

Accomplishments in equine personal development amidst the beauty and serenity of nature is what this video is intended to impart.
On the near horizon, new EAPD programs with the local schools designed and in place for helping “at risk youth” are coming on line at Riversong in January. Discussions are also underway for designing sustainable EAPD programs with prison systems here in Canada and abroad. The LEAD program (leadership through equine assisted discovery) Chris designed last year for the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, coordinated and facilitated by Ruth Heney one of our top certified trainers, has been a great success. Now other institutions are inquiring as to how we can develop EAPD programs for their curriculums. American TV producers are working with Chris to host a nationally broadcast EAPD themed TV show in the United States.

Favorite Dog Breeds of Horse Owners

Webmaster — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:46:06 +0000

It is a rare horse barn indeed that doesn’t have a least one “barn dog”. Over the years certain breeds have come to be particularly associated with horses. Hunting and herding dogs have a long tradition of being coupled with horses in a working relationship, as well as vermin catching terrier types.

A few breeds stand out when we think horses and dogs. It’s not so much breed that matters, as temperament. Most barns get a certain amount of visitor traffic, so the barn dog should be non-aggressive, especially around children. But traditionally the barn dog is a useful canine, earning his keep in such capacities as herding, hunting or controlling vermin populations.

However, there are many other breeds that are just considered to be the “most common breeds” and they’ve made their way into our barns and our hearts as well. For this reason, we’ve included some informational, nutritional and educational videos for those horse lovers who are also dog lovers!

These videos are available to members only.
