Nov 23, 2025 AGM with Guest Speaker Cynthia Neale-Ishoy

A lovely afternoon sharing lunch with our Glanbrook CADORA members, with the room provided by Ancaster Fairgrounds.

We reviewed our club activities this year, celebrated successes, and thanked the army of volunteers who made it happen!   We reminisced about friends and the early days of Glanbrook CADORA (thanks so much to those who preserved and brought our historical documents!)

We enjoyed a fantastic talk by Cindy Ishoy, a lifetime Glanbrook CADORA member, who generously shared her wisdom and.... 

announced that she would provide a clinic for us in 2026! 

Thank you, Cindy!

Past Clinics and Events

    Apr 5, 2025      Jill Stedman Clinic

Members attended a Jill Stedman clinic at PenBar Farm in Lynden. Despite the dreary weather, the riders learned from coach Jill how to enhance their horse's performance and boost their dressage scores. Thanks to Kristy Barber for sharing your beautiful facility!

It turns out you can ride a perfect leg yield, canter loop, or shoulder-in—just need to balance, engage, and stop holding. Who knew!!

Thanks to all participants for supporting the clinic and Jill for being an excellent coach.

**NOTE - Jill was the winner of the Glanbrook CADORA 2025 Coach of the Year Award!

Awards were presented and everyone’s success was celebrated followed by a tasty lunch and a chance to socialize (without hanging onto a horse).

Thanks to all our volunteers for making the shows run smoothly.
