LATEST SHADOW RIDGE NEWS

Please note all our prices have increased to accommodate the upcoming HST starting in July.

SUMMER CAMPS

Camps went well and all had a good time. Next year we may be limiting registrations so you should reserve your space soon to avoid disappointment, especially if you want to be with the same friends. Next years price will be $1100 as we have now added the HST. Not bad for the concentrated attention you get in such small groups.


LESSONS

Lessons are filling up fast for the fall. We are looking for students for our jumping classes on Friday. You must be riding twice a week to be in this group.


HORSE TALK

Ella has been broken under saddle a few weeks ago and Melanie and Meaghan are working with her. She has been such good girl, it's hard to believe she is only just 3 years old. Where does the time go. Melanie is planning on sending her to Rideauwood to finish her training next year (if not sooner).


MOUNTED GAMES

We are now doing our Mounted Games Program on Saturday afternoons. It is a lot of fun and is very good for balance and coordination. These practices with Terry Vieweg (Level I Mounted Games coach) are open to riders of all ages. We have already bought or acquired lots of the equipment needed. Terry is hoping to put together a competitive team for the Spring. The cost is $37/practice but you must call to reserve a spot and, if needed, a pony (you can bring your own pony). Check our Mounted Games webpage for dates, details and pictures.



FITNESS TAX CREDIT

The Government of Canada's Fitness Tax Credit (FTC) will allow parents to claim a max.
of $500/year for eligible fees paid for each child under 16 yrs of age.
Max. amount of eligible fitness tax credit program allowance is $500/ child.
The parent/taxpayer's tax bracket will determine the actual amount of the tax credit.
Shadow Ridge's March Break & Summer Camps, in addition to our weekly lesson program and mounted games program all qualify for this fitness tax credit. In accordance with the FTC stated requirements, we offer: (1) Ongoing (2) Supervised program(s) (3) Suitable for children in which substantially all of the activities undertaken include a (4) significant amount of physical activity that contributes to cardio-respiratory endurance, plus (5) one or more prescribed physical activities; Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, Flexibility, Balance.

An FTC eligible program must: Run at least 8 weeks, 1 session/week. (lessons and mounted games) Run 5 consecutive days ( camps ) So please don't forget to ask me for those tax receipts!!! If you would like a receipt please ask for it by January before I switch over to the new year files.
