I worked in agriculture for almost 30 years, advocating for almost every sector. I love agriculture, my family, my horses and teaching therapeutic riding

It's spring time in the Ottawa Valley. Even the pussy willows are covered with ice.

Not palm trees or the ocean, but it's still a pretty nice winter view at my little farm.

When your best friend is a horse and horses aren't allowed at graduation, your barn family arranges a grad photo shoot.

I don't always tweet, but when I do, it is a photo of the special bond between a kid and a pony.

@moneywisecom Except they aren't in Canada. Title is a tad deceiving.

When the best school horse on the farm has a birthday, we celebrate. #

The Easter egg hunt with the Easter pony begins. #therapeuticriding #kidsandponies

@globeandmail Given that the bombings continue, I assume this is badly written. How can supposed professional writers screw up like this? I am assuming it meant "peace talks to stop the Russian military operation continue".

@TomSteveWHTBLY @alannakochsk @CamWahoos @TedMenzies @BlairRutter @thebender7 @orsak_paul @hugewalleye @abfarmer1962 @5jfs7 Wow, I just saw this. Those were the days. Our very well prepared little delegation, armed with the real facts, were a minority in numbers but we made our mark for sure.

No conflict, just a cute pony protesting her new pink toque.

#therapeuticriding Good for the rider and also good for the instructor. #my happy place

[Patty Townsend @Patty_Townsend]

Some call it retired. I call it doing what makes me happy. #therapeuticriding #kidsandponies

@CBCNews We ysfd been considering this for a while, but have not taken the plunge. We love our RV and exploring but still feel that we need the roots of home. Who know though? It may happen.

@realagriculture @CFAFCA The day of the last shipments was so amazing. I brought a whole bunch of sharpies so thar donors and others who worked so hard could write messages to western producers on the white bale wrap. It was a day of hope and pride.

@realagriculture @CFAFCA I was part of the original Hay West in 2002. Willard and Wyatt McWilliams, two farmers from Navan Ontario, coordinated the collection and transport of over 100,000 Tonnes of hay from Ontario to Alberta and Saskatchewan. These men overcame so many challenges to get this done
