Hi Everybody from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia --
There's an old saying that "Anticipation is often better than
ealization" -- But not according to what our course with us was . . .
"MUCH BETTER than we ever expected." --- So, in this case, the realization
is even better than the anticipation.
In past years, many people have given Christmas gift certificates to
parents, children, or grandchildren for a Nova Scotia Driving and/or Riding
Vacation at Beaver Dam Farm. Often, they've done a vacation with us, and
had so much fun, they want to share it with their families.
This winter, when the winds are howing and the snow blowing, what could be
nicer than anticipating a vacation in one of the most wondrous places in the
world. A place with crisp, clear summer days -- Lots and lots of space --
Beaches with surprisingly warm water, and few people -- Gourmet
restaurants -- Superb live theatre -- Great golf course -- A 350 acre
farm with driving and riding arenas, miles of trails and wonderful views --
Experienced trainers and instructors -- A staff to Gjest (whoops, I mean
"guest") ratio of close to one to one. --
One of the most memorable and impressive aspects of a Nova Scotia vacation
is meeting Nova Scotians. -- We always encourage our guests to go into
town and into the shops and talk to the people. -- You'll find the
atmosphere warm, friendly, and the people genuinely glad to meet you and
interested in where you're from, and why you came to Nova Scotia. You can
tell them you came to Antigonish to ride and drive horses, and then you'll
really be in for a good conversation-- Everybody says hello. Nobody avoids
eye contact. -- As Arthur and I always say, along with Petula Clark . . .
. "If you're feeling blue, just go DOWNTOWN".
We keep our courses small so that our student/guests will be constantly
supervised and instructred. We want you to learn, have a great time doing
it, and to remain safe. -- You'll be amazed at how much you will learn in
just four days at Beaver Dam Farm. And you'll be even more amazed at how
much fun you have learning.
Beaver Dam Farm is in a small Acadian village ten minutes from the
university town of Antigonish, which is where you'll go for shopping,
restaurants, theatre, and music. -- A beautiful Provincial Beach Park is 5
min. down the road, and visible from the farm. -- The scenery and touring
is delightful in all directions. -- We're 45 min. from the Prince Edward
Island ferry, and 30 min. from the Cape Breton Island causeway. -- The #1
restaurant in Nova Scotia is 10 min. from the farm. -- The golf is
challenging, and there are hiking trails all around us, including on the
farm.
This year we'll welcome to Beaver Dam Farm, as we've done for 20 + years,
international international interns. -- So far, interns have signed on
from England, Germany, Holland, and Connecticut.
Probably, the most important aspect of our program is that we maintain small
groups, and try our darndest to personalize everybody's experience. --
Particularly when dealing with horses, it's necesssary to customize each
lesson according to the wants and wishes, experience and anxieties of each
student/guest. And that's what we do at Beaver Dam Farm. Our
trainers/instructors are experienced riderers and drivers, and besides
that -- They are Nova Scotians meaning they have a genuine interest in
people and a genuine desire to give you the most enjoyable and satisfying
vacation you've ever experienced.
