Welcome to the new on-line Ottawa Horse & Riding Directory: Endorsed by IAN MILLAR

Elaine Kenney’s new, comprehensive, on-line Ottawa Horse & Riding Directory will give a tremendous economic boost to the local horse industry, an industry that has grown by leaps and bounds. Elaine Kenney has been a proponent of the local horse industry with two editions of her book Elaine Kenney’s Guide to Riding in the Ottawa and Surrounding Area.

This new initiative has been a long time in coming and I believe that the local horse industry is ready! The Ottawa Horse & Riding Directory creates a modern, on-line extension to her book that includes not only the stables but the entire Ottawa horse industry. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

For equestrians of all ages and levels of expertise, it will make it easier to identify Ottawa horse stables, horse breeders, boarding facilities, riding instructors, coaches and trainers. In addition it will have categories for all the businesses that provide services and products to the Ottawa horse industry such as builders, vets, farriers, photographers, tack and apparel to name a few.

It will raise the profile of our dynamic Ottawa and surrounding area horse industry and offer valuable exposure to those who provide equine services and products of all kinds. Ottawa has already been described as a "Canadian Equine Hotspot" by Joanne Laucious of the Ottawa Citizen.

Thanks, Elaine, for taking on this initiative, an initiative that will showcase our vibrant, local horse industry to the local market, the rest of the country and the world.
