RCMP Constable Don Poirier visited our Horse Camp and rode our American Saddlebred  named Symphony.  Kids at the camp were given official RCMP helper badges and got an upclose look at one of Canada's most iconic symbols of Courage, Confidence and Character.

Feeling helpless about all of the violence and despair you hear about happening right now in Winnipeg on the 10:00 news?  Well we did and felt God calling us to action.  Last year we took our kids to visit Keith and his volunteer staff at Inner City Youth Alive.  Wanting to make a positive impact in the lives of inner city youth before they become part of the evening negative news we followed God's calling on our hearts and invited Keith and the youth of ICYA to come horseback riding through our trails of Narnia. We all had a really great time, some laughs and for the time they were here a real sense of peace.  Here are a few pictures from that late afternoon in Otterburne.

Tristan takes the time and displays great patience while brushing down his horse Spirit after the trail ride.

Dylan who arrived a quiet boy had so much to say and so much to ask during his trail ride. 

Kane shared with us the recent loss of his dog and to Dan's delight his love for the Philadelphia Flyers.  Here Kane treats his horse Oakley to some well deserved sweet feed.

Cowboy Keith admittatdley not a horse or dog person seemed to have changed his toon near the end.  He's gone country!

Inner City Youth Alive is a non-profit ministry that works with youth in the north end and core area of Winnipeg.  Make a difference and make a change by giving yours to ICYA.  Please visit their website at www.icya.ca

This is a new section we recently created.  It is here you will soon find out about what's new along our Trails of Narnia.  Come explore with us by going "Further in and Further up!"

Currently we are constructing an incredible 20 foot diameter Beaver Lodge that is 14 feet high, complete with a fireplace, windows, doors, a loft and a secret tunnel system that you can take to readily escape from Morgram and the White Witches secret police!

The construction method we are using is called earthbag.  Check back soon for photos...
