That's a wrap on horse camp - what a fun week we've had! Riding, grooming, leading, bathing, trail obstacles, showmanship, horse theory, crafts, games, and so much more! We had a wonderful group of kids with us to learn about everything horse related!

I'd like to thank all of the campers that joined us this week - it was so nice getting to know all of you and we hope to see you again!

❤️ The OA Team

What a weekend! Our traveling team ventured to Sterling Creek Stables on Saturday to introduce our riders to competition in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere! They had the chance to put what they've been learning in to practice in the show pen and also got to try some new events! Goals were met, fun was had, and all of our riders returned home with a collection of ribbons to celebrate their success!

A special congratulations to two of our riders, who were recognized for their performance in the James Simpson Ranch Challenge for their divisions:

Youth Champion: Molly Groundwater & Kolt

Senior Reserve Champion: Nadia Arsenault & SmokeM Pardner (Axle)

On behalf of all of us that traveled down, we'd like to thank Cindy Jim McCloskey and her team for welcoming us to their facility and putting on a wonderful event!

We had a great weekend of learning, laughter and horses at our annual Helen Smith Clinic in Napan last week! This year we saw more of our riders taking a greater interest in the ranch and reining part of our Saturday night mock show! Helen did a walk through of the ranch pattern with a focus on how to plan and execute each maneuver while riding through. We had a great mix of old and new faces. As always, this event was one of the highlights of our summer!

We are SO excited to be bringing Danique Henderson back to Oldfield Acres in September 2026!

This is a groundwork clinic, because all of the important things with horses begin on the ground. Working with Danique has shaped who I've become as a horse person, and she is always a favorite to have at the barn.

If you'd like to register for this clinic, please message me or the Oldfield Acres page directly to reserve a spot!

We've had a lot of interest in our upcoming Helen Smith clinic so are planning to bring her back in March!

Helen Smith is a Western Competition Coach Specialist, Master Coach Developer, and judge. She specializes in reining and general performance horses. Showing herself since age three, Helen has won numerous high points, buckles, APHA ROM’s, and NRHA Bronzes and money earned. The majority of horses Helen has shown were raised and trained by her. Her students have successfully shown across multiple divisions, earning many high points and provincial championship awards in events ranging from Showmanship to Trail to Horsemanship to Hunter Under Saddle.
Helen believes in building a slow and steady foundation for both horses and riders, and loves working with all riders no matter their goals from recreational to competitive. Her goal is to have people become better horsemen/horsewomen, and understand the reasoning behind why training exercises and methods are used and how to apply them in different situations.

Dates: March 21-22, 2026
Location: Oldfield Acres (Miramichi, NB)
Cost: $250 (Non-refundable deposit of $125 to reserve your spot)
