July 2016

Finnigan become an equine celebrity, as one of our beloved instructors, Deena Eddy introduced SooToday’s Jasmyn Rowley to horseback riding. This being her first time, she was apprehensive and intimidated by his sheer size, but Finnigan's gentle-giant demeanour put her mind at ease. Jasmyn was able to groom, saddle up, and enjoy a leisurely walk around our indoor arena.
