Our Featured Adult Rider of the Month is Jennifer Read

Jennifer has been a Lancer for the last two and a half years, joining our adult membership just 8 months after moving to Halifax. She grew up riding and taking lessons on her own horse that was given to her at the age of 13. When he passed away in 2013 Jennifer took a break from riding but was encouraged to return by her husband when they moved to Halifax. For Jennifer, Lancers was a warm and friendly place to start riding again. “Being part of Lancers has made my life happier and healthier and made Halifax feel like home. I can walk to the barn from our house and this in addition to my time at Lancers has made me feel more like a part of the city and gives me the space I need to re-center myself especially when I’ve had a hard week. Both of my children are on the waitlist to join Lancers and I can't wait for them to be a part of this community too.”

Picking just one Lancer horse is hard for Jennifer but she singles out GQ, Sadie, Rainy, Oliver and Candy and mentions how much she misses two of our retired school horses, Zero and Rockette.

Jennifer is a wonderful addition to Lancers, she is always willing and excited to try different horses in her lessons and we appreciate all her help with our Open Houses. We are so glad to have played a role in Jennifer becoming a Haligonian!
