Nov/2001

LOOKING TOWARD THE SHOW SEASON AHEAD!

Excella began re-establishing a training program a couple of years ago.  However, Lisa suffered another health set back and underwent back surgery in November 2000.  After a year in physio Lisa began riding again.  

November 2001 has been a busy month at Excella, Sandy and her new assistant trainer - Shawna started our 2002 show string in training.  However progress is slow as we are currently in need of a farm worker. Applications can be submited from the sidebar on our website. 

Shawna joins our staff as an experienced instructor and is currently designing a horsemanship program with Lisa. Shawna re-started our lesson program with a number of students already enrolled.  

We are currently accepting a limited number of work exchange students for our apprentice program.  This is an extended program that offer instruction on grooming, show management, assistant training, breeding/teasing and farm management.

Now that we have established a foundation herd, we anticipating using outside stallions more and more in our breeding program.  Last season Sandy went to Colorado State to become certified as a breeding tech and gain more experience shipping and utilizing fresh cooled and frozen semen.  

Our stallion Dexter has come into his own with all the training and conditioning.  He is a little on the small size, but a horse of exceptional temperament, beauty and quality.  Out crossed with taller mares, we expect some great foals.  Look for him in the show ring next year or make an appointment to visit us.  

Check back with us often, there's always something new, a number of very exciting services are in the works ! The finished product is expected to offer consumers an exceptional multi-media marketing, communication, business and resource package unlike anything currently available.  Not only will it be a good value, but all proceeds will go to the Canadian Arabian Horse  Foundation.  This project has become so much larger than originally anticipated and will be long term, sign up for our newsletter and we'll let you know the minute it is released.
