Linda’s passion for horses provides a great environment for students to develop skills on and off the horse, and feel a real sense of accomplishment through their experiences. In addition, the…
“My daughter loved her riding lessons with Emerge Equine. The kids connect with the horses and grow at their own pace with encouragement from Linda. It’s lovely to watch their confidence grow. Looking forward to another summer of riding lessons.” ~ Sherry Bishop, Langdon AB Programs for kids aged 5+ are available. Check it out!
“Emerge Equine has become like a home to me. Every welcoming face I see on the drive in, to the drive out is a friend, regardless if it’s one of the horses I’ve seen for months or someone I’ve only just met that day. I knew other riding programs just weren’t for me, they didn’t…
“I guess I really want people with kids struggling with anxiety and confidence (on the spectrum or not) to know how beneficial your program is. I really went in not knowing what to expect and it has exceeded not only my expectations but also our psychologist, occupational therapists and pediatricians expectations. It really has been…
When sixteen-year-old Dee (not her real name) started coming to Emerge Equine, her mom was looking for a program that would help with Dee’s confidence and anxiety. Dee experiences life through the filter of ASD, developmental coordination disorder and Social Anxiety Performance-Based disorder.

When a special girl and the right horse connect, a unique bond forms. Small and athletic, not super confident, a pre-teen girl joined in the riding lesson. Nichole listened and learned. The horse went along and more or less did what she asked. It was fun, but Nichole was unsure and wasn’t learning things like…
With glorious colour, a powerful and athletic conformation, and energy to back it all up, Kitty is an incredible horse. She stands on high alert, likes to move and prance around. She flirts and interacts with geldings in the next pen at every chance she gets. As a two-year-old, she was chosen as an all-round…
Frustrated, Aidan held on as his horse bolted from the roping box. Once again, he had no chance of having his loop land in the right place to catch the roping dummy. A novice roper and a horse not trained in the game of roping makes for poor results.
