ABOUT US
The Robinsons
THE FARM & FAMILY
The Robinsons moved to their farm in Linwood in 2001. At that time, they brought with them two horses, Melanie, a Belgian mare, and Ebony, the black miniature horse who still lives there today! The old bank barn was a pig barn that the family converted for horses, and soon added some paddocks, fenced some pastures, a sand ring, and finally a Cover All.
The girls joined the Canadian Pony Club and then a 4H Horse Club as soon as they were old enough. The Robinson farm has been home to the 5H-4H Horse Club, the Horse and Pony Care 4H Club, Mounted Games 4H Club and is currently still home to the Boomer Creek Pony Club.
​
2025 was a transformative year of change, when Michaelah and her life partner Thomas James moved to their own small farm west of Listowel. They brought 6 horses, 3 kittens, and Piper, and the rest is unfolding exactly as it should.

MICHAELAH
Hi! My name is Michaelah. I have been riding since the age of 1 year, and have ridden and continue to ride a variety horses with a range of coaches through lessons, clinics, Pony Club and 4H. I began my showing career in the Western performance ring with my partner Stormy, and currently compete in Show Jumping, Dressage, Eventing and Mounted Games. I rode on the University of Guelph's Intercollegiate Dressage Team as an Upper Training rider during my degree there in Animal Biology. I have my C2 level with the Canadian Pony Club, and have been freelance coaching since the age of twelve. I have always trained my own horses, and find immense value in building two-way trust with them. With a partnership like that, the possibilities are truly endless.
​
I completed my master's degree in 2024 and am currently practicing as a Registered Psychotherapist, virtually and on the farm with the horses. The horses and I continue to explore our riding and liberty partnerships, and we look forward to a life of infinite learning together.
