Company Description

In business for more than 25 years, Westar farms has been teaching students about riding horses, and enjoying a partnership with horses.
Jeff McKessock, co-owner and former nationally ranked competitor, is the head-coach and trainer as well as manager of operations.
Bridget McKessock, co-owner, also a competitive coach and competitor, is in charge or administration and event management.
Stephanie Wark is a coach/instructor and professional rider for the farm.
Our dedicated and experienced barn staff provide professional and personal care to the horses in training as well as our group of 15+ school horses.

Nationally certified instructors and coaches teach beginners from 7 years up in one-on-one fully supervised lessons, learning how to work safely around the horses and ponies, grooming and tacking as well as riding. Riders move into groups and may continue in the recreational stream or become competitive. All riders are taught based on the same, sound principles. We provide lots of extra-curricular activities to compliment the lesson program, with horsemanship education, fun days and social events.

Those who want to, can compete in our in-barn FUN shows, community skills development shows, regional Bronze circuit, provincial Trillium circuit or national 'A' circuit.
Our students compete in Jumper, Hunter, Equitation and Dressage.

Westar Farms is also a top notch horse show facility with two sand show rings and warm-up plus grass Grand Prix Ring and warm-up. Shows from development level to Trillium are held almost bi-weekly from May to October.

Full day summer camps run through July and August, providing fun and education for children from 7 to 14 yrs. Two daily riding sessions as well as horsemanship activities nurture the love of horses and ponies.

Join the Westar family and live you love of horses.
