Our Lesson Program
The bond between horse and rider starts long before you get into the saddle. We want everyone to enjoy horses as much as we do, that’s why our lesson program is devoted to building horsemanship, a practice that includes confidence, problem solving and communication skills.
Students can choose between english or western riding and we supply the appropriate tack. Our lessons are an equal blend of riding time and time spent caring for and learning about your horse, such as: grooming, tack, horse health, and horse behaviour.
We offer private or semi-private lessons, limited group lessons are available upon request.

Meet our four-legged staff:
Eddie
Anglo Arabian
Eddie is a 13 year old black Anglo Arabian horse. He’s a pretty multicultural guy, he is: 1/2 Arabian, 1/4 Quarter Horse, and 1/4 Thoroughbred. He’s about the friendliest fellow you could ever meet! He’s quiet, sure footed and happy to get to know everyone. He loves trail rides and resting his nose on his stall bars, if you walk through the barn you’ll probably get a glimpse of his little black muzzle. Also, Eddie is a twin! There’s was a 1 in 10,000 chance of his mom having twin babies, which makes Eddie a 1 in 10,000 baby! He’s our little miracle!
Bob
Anglo Arabian
Bob is a 13 year old Anglo Arabian, he’s mostly Arabian but he has a small part of Thoroughbred in him too. Bob’s full name is KHS Born to be Bad ++++//, and he’s spent a lot of time in the show ring doing a variety of disciplines. He’s competed at the regional and national levels, which is were the marks at the end of his name come from, they tell us that he’s a champion! Actually, he’s been a champion more than a few times. Despite his professionalism in the show ring, Bob is a pretty quirky guy, he loves sweets, like candy, and he can even drink out of a cup.
Judy
Norwegian Fjord
Judy is an 18 year old Norwegian Fjord. Fjord’s are a small, but nimble, breed of draught horse. Draught horses are stocky and are bred to do work, like pulling carts or farm equipment. This makes Judy a very sturdy horse and she’s very foot-smart too, meaning that she maintains her balance really well, especially on rough terrain. She’s an adventurous soul and loves trail riding and going over obstacles. Sometimes, she can be a little bit stubborn, so be ready to ride!
Jim
Norwegian Fjord
Jim is Judy’s other half, they’re a bonded pair and came to our farm together in the summer of 2019. Jim is 15 years old and a little bit smaller than Judy, but he too is a purebred Norwegian Fjord. Along with Judy, Jim loves to ride over obstacles and along trails and they both have a long employment history as lesson horses. He’s very quiet and friendly, and he’s a pretty stylish fellow because he likes sporting a mohawk.
Sean
Half Arabian Half Saddlebred
Sean is a 12 year old retired Hunter Pleasure show horse, he’s been through the training program at Tomanek Farms and now works happily as a member of our lesson program. He’s very playful and smooth to ride, but he can be crafty at times and will certainly keep you on your toes as a rider. He also loves to make friends, so if you’re out in the pasture he’s bound to come over and check you out!
