Information: Valyah's life started as a race horse. She is bred with famous breeding in her pedigree including Northern Dancer. She raced for a couple years, proving herself to be an athletic and talented horse. She retired from racing and later became a brood mare. She produced a couple of beautiful foals at a race farm. In winter of 2011 her owners decided they didn't want to use Valyah in their breeding program anymore and it was time to find this special girl a new home. Lindsey took ownership in March of 2011.
Valyah spent her first couple months owned by Lindsey at a client's farm. There she met friendly geldings Bill and Jack, as well as the little pony gelding Spencer. Valyah got to meet a whole lot of other farm animals including a donkey, chickens, goats, dogs, and rabbits! She was a bit nervous at first but settled in quickly.
Once Lindsey opened the new facility on Feasby Rd in Uxbridge, Valyah moved to the home facility and made new friends with the horses there. She started in some natural horsemanship training - we learned she was very responsive and learned quickly.
Valyah really exceled at ground games and liberty play - she was even used in the 2011 Summer Camp by LFEquestrian. She has now moved home to Lindsey’s new farm in Pontypool.
Valyah is available for ground lessons – please contact us if you are interested.
