whitchurch- stouffville stable undergoes total transformation tribune july 22 1987 as by denise mcdonald whitchurch its not often youll see a riding stable acquire a new name undergo total renova tion and change its management all in one fell swoop but pat connelly present mana ger of whitchurchstouffvilles new warden ridge equestrian centre is doing just that this barn hasbeen operating for the past nine years as a sort of back yard curiosity said pat in refer ence to the cone 5 operation pre viously known as ashmount farm during that time some bad reputa tions were spread around about it because the farms owner rick foreman is not a horseman therefore continued pat we want to build a better reputation by supplying the best facility and ser vice available in the market today according to the equestrian she came to warden ridge last novem ber as a boarder and was literally nominated manager by other boar ders last january ive been a horse consumgr in the toronto area for the past 10 years and before that bad my own operation in norwood east of peter borough she said i guess you can say im a housewife with nor thing better to do than ride horses pat laughingly refers to herself as one of those kids who could never say cow while growing up and claims to have her roots in so many different disciplines of riding she has no particular nitch horsin around at windridge farm pat connelly manager of whitchurch- stouffvilles warden ridge equestrian centre is pictured with stablemates mirror black horse and windsor lad denise mcdonald when i became manager i sat down with the owner and pointed out all his potential assets she ex plained then i talked it over with my employees and looked at all the pet peeves we experienced as boar ders what wed now like to do is try and correct them as best we can or be as honest and upfront with the clientele as possible although many renovations are still in the planning stages pat has completed reflooring the stalls put new lighting in the barn and re- fenced the entire paddock areas with rails imported from england when planning what i wanted to happen here i looked at all the va rious technology available in the equine industry she said the fencing i chose is caledonian thor oughbred rail which is the safest i could find for horses and most eco nomical in terms of care and maintenance future goals include enlarging the barn to hold 80 horses from its present 27 and putting up a second indoor arena our present one is 70 feet by 160 feet however the new one will be 380 by 90 feet pat added be cause of the cost of steel and general wear and tear it will be built along the lines of a dome or bubble tennis court airlock system not only will it be well lit and not have condensa tion itll be a lot warmer in winter because the air is constantly circu lating since january so much work has been done on the place i wish id taken before and after pictures she continued it was almost scary to keep horses in pat also pointed out the new facil ity will not be restricted to any one riding discipline but be open to all riders from barrel racers to those involved in upperlevel dressage so long as youre a good horse man or woman and take care of your animal youre welcome in our ham nobody is perfect and were de finitely not trying to be the best barn on the block pat claimed wed just like to create a better
