youth reporter in action elsewhere!


Parkwoods Stables, Rockwood, ranked #1 in the 2017 hoofbeats Mystery Shop!

Here's a link to the video we made.

In this show, hoofbeats makes the important announcement about the best final score of our “mystery shop” visits/tours, of the past season.

Parkwood Stable is a private equestrian facility, an hour West of Toronto, that is dedicated to raising Hanoverian and Warmblood horses. They offer first class boarding, training and coaching, in well maintained, well designed stables, areas, rings and fields. Owned and operated by the Parkinson family, on a picturesque 100 acre farm. The stallion Fabregas is handled with expertise, and offers a successful breeding program. There are also young horses, brood mares and riding horses for sale. “Parkwoods hosts events that welcome the general public, and you should consider attending one!” said hoofbeats producer, Kim Logue.

You can get involved with our all interest, all access, all age horse show!  We launched this new Education and Information Program, especially to invite more youth participants... For the Mystery shops, a detailed, custom “walk-about-worksheet,” is used — that incorporates the requirements and recommendations of The National Farm Animal Care Council’s Equine Code, standards of the federal and provincial sport offices (Equestrian Canada and Ontario Equestrian), as well as CANTRA, Canadian Pony Club, OMFRA, and Equine Guelph; Hoofbeats producers keep an eye open, as well, to the usual law and insurance aspects of each unique facility, in collecting the research, and in calculating the results. In the past 12 months, hoofbeats has investigated aproximately 50 horse facilities in Southern Ontario, and also broadcast many of the interviews.
