Peter Gisborn

On Saturday, October 24, 2020, 4 Foxwood show team riders were invited to ride at BlackBerry Equestrian in a clinic with hunter/jumper coach, Peter Gisborn.

Starting on the flat, riders learned the importance of getting their horses to move forward and off their leg; creating contact with the "bit at the cheek" with hands raised; in order to create a rhythmical and balanced ride. 

The importance of great basics and a strong foundation of flatwork was stressed by Peter Gisborn in order to create perfect jumping rounds.

Di Langmuir

To prepare our show team riders for the 2020 season, we welcomed Di Langmuir - a certified coach specialist with over 35 years experience in Canada and Internationally in hunter, jumper and equitation disciplines.  

As a judge and steward for Equestrian Canada, Di believes in preparing riders for the show ring and shares the sentiments, “train with correctness to form good habits so you can be a star at competitions”.

Day one of our two day clinic in January, focused on transitions as well as helpful show ring tips on how to make the best impression when entering the show ring.  We jumped into day 2 with gymnastics and then worked on  effective equitation to get into the corners, using transitions for control.

  • Foxwood is a positive & supportive environment...

    Foxwood is a positive and supportive environment for riders at every level and Robyn creates an environment which is inclusive and feels like a family. She ensures that the riders accomplishments are recognized and she is always arranging opportunities for the riders to continue to develop along with their pony/horse. As a parent of 2 Foxwood show team riders, I appreciate the instruction, along with the encouragement and patience given by coaches, Robyn and Janet to build confidence, in both my riders and our ponies.

    Robyn is exceptionally in tune with the health and care needs of our ponies and ensures that they receive the best nutrition and care that they deserve. We are happy to be a part of the Foxwood Family

  • I would highly recommend foxwood farms. we have now found a forever home for our horses and a forever coach for our girls...

    This is our third barn after my girls starting riding about 10 years ago. Robyn's Show Team is a very talented wonderful group of girls. They all support each other and truly care for their horses. Robyn's coaching has been thoughtful and very supportive . She takes into consideration the horse and the rider.

    My girls have learned a lot and their abilities as riders has flourished. We are looking forward to the show season and being with the team this summer. Pastures are beautiful , cross country course and trails are there to enjoy.

    I am grateful to be part of the Foxwood family!

  • Since returning to spring lessons, it has been a joy to to witness the lightness in my daughter's face, and the bounce in her step, return...

    I wish to personally thank Foxwood Farm owner, Robyn Freer, and her entire Foxwood team for all they have done to make a return to the barn possible during this time of COVID-19 pandemic. With strong attention and adherence to best practice protocols, Foxwood Farm has successfully transitioned to this 'new normal.'

    Our daughter so enjoys the opportunity to ride her beloved favourites, George and Gracie, and finds the wait for next week's lesson something to look forward to and keep her going. I too find myself contented by the infection prevention and control measures Foxwood has put in place, and so appreciate all their efforts and energy to make this a success for everyone.

    With much appreciation!

  • Above all, the spirit of camaraderie and level of sportsmanship amongst these riders is what I love the most about Foxwood...

    Robyn is a positive and enthusiastic coach and role model, who engages riders of all levels with her passion for the sport.  Her commitment to both horse and rider is evident, by setting achievable goals with her students for the season and always finds something positive and constructive in each training session.  Robyn loves what she does and it shows.

    This is a gift that they will treasure forever.
