From the Editor…

Mother Nature cannot make up her mind, is it summer or not? The high today was 11 degrees celcius. BRRR!! Been chilly, damp and raining the last couple days (good for the fires though). Then they are calling for highs of 29 and 30C again this coming weekend.

Entries have closed for the EQUINE division of the 55+ BC Games taking place at the Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre at the end of August. Let’s hope they get a great SENIOR turnout!

The fall fairs will be coming up soon… does your local fall fair have a horse show or horse event included? It should be listed in our What’s Happening calendar. Horse folks want to know!

It’s looking to be a busy summer season with all kinds of horsey stuff going on every weekend! Take your pick.

I am still looking for someone to take over Saddle Up! Nobody wants to work anymore. I am looking to retire sooner than later… and I would hate to shut it down. Doesn’t anyone want a home-based business? A horse family business? The countdown is on.

See five of Canada’s most eligible farmers embark on an epic journey to find true love. The CTV series began on May 28 and is being filmed in BC.

Farmers on the road to find love in the inaugural season include equestrian Ashleigh, wine producer Charley, livestock and grain farmer Dave, dairy farmer Doug, and berry and agritourism farmer Gurleen. Saddle Up has already contacted “equestrian Ashleigh” (second from the left) and we will have an interview with her once the series has wrapped up!

Does Ashleigh find her horse-mate?

Does she find love?

Saddle Up will have it all here… in a future issue.

More information on Canada’s most eligible farmers and the daters vying for their love is available on TheLede.ca and CTV.ca/ FarmingForLove.
