| Classical Equitation with Craig Stevens |
| Craig has spent 20 years studying with the French masters at Samur in France, his methods are 18th centure when Equitation was considered an art form. The horses are trained by learning to balance and be in self carriage, and no restraints or force is used. |
Working with Craig, it's the quality of each moment with the horse, not just the movement produced, that is most of interest. As the rider develops the understanding and ability to communicate more clearly, the movements improve-- but rather than learning tricks to mask mistakes, riders learn what they are doing that is producing the mistake and how to ride with such clarity that the movements become fluid, light, and precise. Craig's methods produce, very quickly and without abuse, a calm, willing, responsive horse interested in engaging in a conversation with his rider. Horse owners are in training right along with their mount, learning to maintain a conversation sustainable after the horse leaves. |
| Date: |
Next Clinics are on:
July 11 -13th, September 26 - 28th, November 14 - 16th 2008.

| Facilitator: |
Craig Stevens An international clinician, Craig has been recognized by the Swedish Dressage Foundation, and teaches 6 months of the year in Europe, France and England. Students come from all over the world to ride with this master at his centre in Snohomish, Washington. Craig is endorsed by Philippe Karl, the French classical master, and by natural horsemanship clinician and trainer, Ed Dabney, who is gaining national prominance in the US. Professor Invgar Fredricson, head of Flyinge (the Swedish National Stud) from 1983 to 1998 appreciates his decades of study, and refers to Craig as an American scholar of the horse. Dag Nätterqvist ("Dadde") the Swedish Olympic jumping star as well as a prominent teacher remembered for his years teaching at Strömsholm - the Swedish National Riding School, said " Craig Stevens is the first really good riding teacher to teach dressage in Sweden since the 1950´s. "It's not unusual to hear Craig explain an equine movement in musical terms, or the horse-human relationship in romantic ones. It's a language of touch, he points out, where one animal desires to engage the mind of the other, and the closest metaphors are based in the sensual, tactile language that we use when we're flirting. Craig Stevens and the staff at the Park Lane Equestrian Centre, welcome you to join us in studying the art, science, theory and play of classical equitation. |

Pets for your Health
Do you have a pet? Studies show that pet owners have lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels and lower cholesterol readings than those without pets, regardless of other factors like smoking and diet. If you don't have a pet, maybe you can 'borrow' one by volunteering to walk a neighbor's dog or pet sitting. It may be a good way to see if owning a pet could be good for your health.
A Warning About Cocoa Mulch Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called "Theobromine". It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of caution check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens. Theobromine is the ingredient that found in chocolate... especially dark or baker's chocolate and it is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
We Need Your Bags! There is a serious shortage of plastic bags at the various parks. Need to get rid of that pile of plastic bags from your cupboard? Well we could use 'em! Please bring some plastic bags with you and fill up the bag dispensers when you're out walking your pooch. We thank you!

Does Your Pet Need the Needle? by Dr. Moira Drosdovech, Pawsitive Veterinary Care
"Almost without exception there is no immunologic requirement for annual revaccination. Immunity to viruses persists for years or for the life on the animal. The practice of annual (pet) vaccinations lacks scientific validity or verification. The practice of annual vaccination in our opinion should be considered of questionable efficacy unless it is used as a mechanism to provide an annual physical examination."-- Professors Tom Phillips and Ron Schultz, "Canine and Feline Vaccines," Kirk's Current Veterinarian Therapy XI. What else needs to be said about vaccinations in pets? The above statement sums it up in an unambiguous manner and has been quoted very often in the last 8-10 years since it was printed. Many veterinarians in the last decade have begun questioning whether over-vaccination, while not yet validated scientifically, may be causing a good deal of unnecessary chronic illness in our pets. What is a pet guardian to do? My position is that....[Read More ]
Treat your animals to Reflexology
 Pawspoint Reflexology To the Rescue By Yvette Eastman - Director of Touchpoint Institute of Reflexology and Kinesthetics
Animals are excellent candidates for Reflexology. They benefit from Reflexology as much as people do and perhaps even more than petting! They walk and live in the same stressful settings as we do, breathe the same air, drink the same water and lead noisy, angry, deprived lives.
For the love of humans, they have given up much of their freedom, and most of their instincts.
It is time for us to give them something very special. When you first work on an animal, you need to relax them with and ... [... Read More ]
What is a Power Animal? By Dawn Dancing Otter.
There are many metaphors in which one will find the unfolding of authentic self. Traditionally, the power animal has been integrated in indigenous cultures as a method of discovering the personality, strengths, karma, and life purpose of a person. I like also to think of power animal as our sixth sense, providing us with tools of intuition, health, boundaries, energy, and instincts. We all have a power animal, though most of us are unaware of it.... [ Read More]
Here today...extinct tomorrow from David Suzuki
Canada is known throughout the world for its wildlife. Even our coins feature iconic Canadian animals such as the beaver, caribou, loon, and polar bear. It's sad to think that some of these very same animals are at risk of extinction. In May of this year, the federal government’s Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) announced that more than 500 Canadian species are now at risk of extinction. Dangers such as climate change and habitat destruction are putting our animals at risk. Each species plays a role in nature. When wildlife goes extinct, it harms the Earth’s ability to provide the natural services we depend on.
On Canada’s west coast, bears eat nitrogen-rich salmon and their scat helps fertilize trees. And pollinators such as bees and butterflies help control pests while helping crops grow. Mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians are all important parts of a healthy ecosystem. It’s clear we need to protect Canada’s species, especially the ones at risk of extinction. After all, what happens to them affects us all... [To read more......]

Hyder went missing from the belgo/black mountain area, Kelowna on the morning of January 6th. He is a large breed, light blonde/sandy coloured male dog. Hyder is getting over an injury and has a shaved patch with an incision on one side. He has a tattoo in his ear and was wearing his collar when he disappeared. Hyder is greatly missed by his human companions and his buddy Barkley. If you know where Hyder is, PLEASE call.....
Thank you for posting our notice. Hyder was found yesterday! A tearful reunion after a week of being locked in someone’s yard in a neighbouring subdivision. He is thin and has an injured foot, but is very happy to be home. |
SPCA Go to the SPCA kennels and give them the same details as you have given to the police and ask to see every dog/Cat in the pound - a description may not be sufficient to identify a dog/cat. Visit at least twice a week and take a photograph of the animal with you.
Description - Ask the police for the name and address of the dog warden. Take him a description of your missing dog/cat, and if possible a photograph.
Neighbourhood Watch -Search your neighborhood thoroughly. Call your loudly and listen for a reply. They may be trapped somewhere and be unable to get to you. A distressed Pet may hide for days or even travel long distances (Cats often hide and have been known to hide in car boots and be taken from the area inadvertently).
Advertisements - Advertise in your local paper. Watch the 'Found' advertisements. Pin up a notice on your own front gate, in shop windows, on trees near bus stations, and perhaps the local radio station will be prepared to broadcast a description of your missing dog.
Ask others... Ask your milkman, postman, paper boy or dustman to look out for your dog. Show them a good photograph. Lost dogs are sometimes taken home by the finder after registering a description at the police station. After one month, the dog becomes the property of the finder.
Ask local schools to ask the children to look out for the animal. Contact the refuse department in case the animal has been killed on the road.
Local Vet -Contact your local veterinary practices - an injured animal is usually taken to a veterinary surgeon for treatment to avoid unnecessary suffering, but remember it is not always possible to give extensive treatment or to nurse the animal afterwards unless the owner is traced to authorize the treatment and the cost.
REMEMBER: Identification - Your Pet should always wear a collar properly secured (so that it cannot be slipped in emergencies) together with an identity disc.
Even the most careful, devoted owner and most devoted, well trained dog may become separated.
