Gilbert Equine Services

I've been wanting to write something for awhile and I've been too afraid to just be honest. If you've chatted with me in the last year, you'll know that life has been pretty stressful. This job is tough, it takes a lot and it doesn't leave a lot in the gas tank most days. No matter how hard I try to leave my work bag at the door when I get home, I end up carrying it everywhere. My home life is being affected and I have so many animals who rely on me for more than just food/shelter, I want to enjoy them again. Not to mention my partner Catherine who deserves the best version of me.It's slowly breaking me and I can't hide the cracks anymore, my mental health has bottomed out. So bear with me as I try to get myself right again, there will be missed emails, calls, texts and messages across all platforms. I need to take things a day at a time which means I may have same day cancellations and scheduling delays. I love what I do, I love the horses and people I meet, this is just a necessity so I can get back on track. Hug an animal today, no excuses

Sorry to anyone still waiting to book an appointment, I will get to scheduling over the next two days. Unfortunately I'm trying to deal with my mental health so I can ensure I'm around for longer than just this year's work. Talk soon and looking forward to seeing everyones Herd, new and old

Hey Everyone,
This is a message for anyone's horse who is east of Toronto-Ottawa. Over the next few days I'll be grouping contacts according to their areas and begin reaching out. I'm aiming to have two dates at the end of Oct and two dates in November that will each be a minimum of 3 days each so should be able to reach everyone. If you haven't already reached out to me and are worried I'll miss you please don't hesitate to shoot me a text or email please. Looking forward to seeing everyone and their horses shortly

With current trends pertaining to the coronavirus updating and changing so quickly - we have made the decision to suspend all services until April at which point we will re-evaluate. Mark will still be available to take messages and plan appointments for future dates as well as support existing clientele where possible. Please everybody stay safe and practice social distancing, we will still be here once it's all over ready to resume. Mark will be reaching out to any clients who still have appointments and rescheduling moving forward. Thank you for your understanding.
