We are &#8216;horse-people&#8217;\u00a0and we know that having a safe, secure and well maintained facility is just one aspect of what a horse and rider require. Another equally important aspect is &#8220;care.&#8221; At\u00a0Walden Ridge we treat the horses under our care the same way we treat our own horses:\u00a0&#8220;as members of our family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As noted above, our philosophy is all about providing an environment of enjoyment, so we welcome all breeds and all levels or rider ability.\u00a0We\u00a0are not a &#8220;riding school&#8221;\u00a0style of barn where there are excessive rules.\u00a0There are rules in place for horse and rider safety,\u00a0proper treatment of the horses, and courtesy amongst patrons. Expectations are placed on each horse owner\/rider to be a good &#8216;barn citizen&#8217; by employing safe riding and handling practices, and conducting themselves appropriately with facility staff and other patrons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box two last\">\n<div class=\"photo_gallery\"><ul>\n<li><span class=\"frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jumpingoxer.jpg \" title=\"Jumping an oxer\"  data-gal=\"prettyPhoto[rt_photo_gallery]\" class=\"imgeffect magnifier\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jumpingoxer-400x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"p_caption\" style=\"max-width:400px\"><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jumpingfence.jpg \" title=\"Jumping a brush fence\"  data-gal=\"prettyPhoto[rt_photo_gallery]\" class=\"imgeffect magnifier\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/jumpingfence-400x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"p_caption\" style=\"max-width:400px\"><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"frame\"><a href=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/horserider.jpg \" title=\"Horse and rider\"  data-gal=\"prettyPhoto[rt_photo_gallery]\" class=\"imgeffect magnifier\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/waldenridge.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/horserider-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><span class=\"p_caption\" style=\"max-width:400px\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walden Ridge Equestrian Center\u00a0is centrally located only minutes from Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph.\u00a0Our farm is\u00a0situated on\u00a0136 acres of beautiful farm land\u00a0away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
