Digger’s Place: Spring to Summer 2025
Another exciting season of Horsemanship Ship with my Clients and Students! Again, those who can teach and those who thought they seen everything … well,! Learn! Horses are amazing! I love the doubtful and the dropped jaws looks. At DP’s you’re not just going to hop on a horse and go in circles. You’re going to learn the skills of riding and handling. In Order to understand the horse, you must understand diet, health and everything that makes a health horse to ride.
GREEN CERTIFICATE PROGRAM is designed for High School Students and hosted and supported by Alberta Agriculture! This is a” College” level course, which does include High School Credits. As your students are preparing to enter high school level or IN high School. If they have a passion for animals, horses, bees, pasture management, dairy cows and more … This might be a program of interest. Testing is done in conjunction with participating professors. Preparing for testing is done through participating mentors on the subjects, hands on working with the mentors to gain experience and knowledge. Mentors are Volunteers to the students. (All High Schools have the same opportunity). For more information, please contact me: Cell 780 656 0406 and we can point you in the right direction for assistance and help.

My reasons are personal about this...maybe if people's heads weren't buried in the sand of ignorance and they took the time to understand, instead of judging and thinking it won't happen to them because they have the perfect family, life would be a little bit easier for people that do experience this! This hits close to home for me, for family and friends who live under this shadow. The days of 'it' not being talked about or being taboo should be over. In the most difficult moments of life you realize who your true friends are, and the people who really appreciate you. Unfortunately, most social media 'friends' aren't true friends. They will send you a "like" here and there, but in reality, they do not take time to read your status if they see it's lengthy. More than half will stop reading right here, or have already scrolled on to the next post on their page. I decided to post this message in support of all those who continue to battle with their mental illness. (Su***de is at an all-time high). Now, let's see who will have taken the time to read this lengthy post right through to the end. If you have read everything so far, please "like" it so that I can put a thank you on your page. More mental health awareness is urgently needed. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean people aren't suffering. Please, try to spare a little of your time with someone who may just want to talk (about anything). Talking can help us all to cope a little more, keeping things bottled up just makes it worse. Most people will say, "if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, I'll be there to help you" but will they? I believe a select few of my friends will post this, to show their support for those who may be struggling. You just have to copy and paste rather than sharing. I'd like to know who will take a minute out of their day to please write "done" in the comments. Thank you!☺️. And yes this is very important to me and my family.💗
