Wel­come to Trend­set­ting Stables,

where your horse is as pre­cious to us as he (or she) is to you. We have been con­sumers of the board­ing indus­try for many years and strive to pro­vide the qual­ity of care and ser­vice that we wanted to get for our­selves. We cater to the out­door boarder, but are in the process of mak­ing plans to accom­mo­date lim­ited indoor board as well. Although we have done a ton of work this sum­mer, our new ven­ture is still a work-in-progress, there are still a few things required to turn it into horse heaven. Next year we can work on some aes­thetic components!

Con­tact Lara Ulan through this web­site, or by phone at (780) 998‑4877. Trend­set­ting Sta­bles is located at 53440 RR 214 — it is approx­i­mately 10 min­utes east of Sher­wood Park, just north of hiway 16. For exact direc­tions please con­tact us to arrange a visit.

It is start­ing to feel like sum­mer — the grass is grow­ing and we are impa­tiently wait­ing for the begin­ning of June so we can turn the horses out on the big pas­tures. We are plan­ning to have a group of mares on grass behind the house, and a group of geld­ings on grass out in the front, and that leaves us room for a mares pen and geld­ings pen that restricts feed for the chub­bies. With this dis­tri­b­u­tion of horses we should be able to rotate pas­tures and keep every­one nib­bling on green stuff most of the sum­mer. If the pas­tures are not able to grow at the same pace they are being eaten we will sup­ple­ment with hay as well.

We are look­ing at our show sched­ule for the sum­mer — look­ing for­ward to going to shows at Killer­ney, Amber­lea, White­mud, here, and maybe a few other loca­tions as well. We are also inter­ested in doing a train­ing day at the Beau­mont cross coun­try course at least once this sea­son. We have posted our show dates on the “shows” sec­tion of this web­site — take a look and plan to join us for a fun day of showing!

The les­son pro­gram is get­ting very full — if you have been pon­der­ing join­ing us for lessons please let me know — I am think­ing I need to open up some new times to accom­mo­date everyone.
