of the Horse Garden
Mission Statement
To embrace the
majesty of equus; animals who have forged the lives
of many,

hope,
courage and strength within our community.

Come and tour the Garden and see the over 300 horse remembrance plaques.
Recent Plaques:
LYNX
(1987 - 2006):
With a heart of gold, Lynx was one of the finest
Canadian horses to grace both dressage and jumper
worlds. He was owned and exhibited by Patricia
Deptford and was an outstanding show horse and sire,
producing many foals who have also reached the top.
He tragically passed away on January 28, 2006 and
will always be remembered for leading the way.
NIKITA (Ice on Fire):
This splendid horse was a constant companion and
inspiration to his young owner and rider
Victoria Karram of North Vancouver. He helped
her not only reach for her dream, but also to
find her second self.
LEGEND: This
special little Miniature horse was a gentle
soul and partner to Gayle Longstaffe who
rescued him to care for and love him for
over 14 years.
Your support for
"Spirit of the Horse Garden"
is greatly appreciated.
In partnership with the Greater Vancouver Regional
District, the Township of Langley, Horse Council BC
and the Langley Horse Federation, the
"Spirit
of the Horse Garden" has been created.
Nestled in the heart of a pastoral country park, this
beautiful garden has been created to celebrate the horses
and ponies in our lives. Meandering brick walls, granite
benches and a memory lane of bricks leading to the Spirit
Courtyard display inscriptions and personal messages.
Unique in Canada, the Garden is located on the north
side of Campbell Valley Park Equestrian Centre and incorporates
1/3 of an acre leased GVRD land. A quiet haven for horse
lovers to contemplate and celebrate memories of their
faithful friends.
Come visit the Garden and enjoy a picnic in the park,
on the grass, surrounded by nature and many of our joyful
horse companions.

"It
was a great treat to us to be turned out into
the home paddock or the old orchard; the grass
was so cool and soft to our feet, the air so sweet,
and the freedom to do as we like was so pleasant;
to gallop, to lie down, and roll over on our backs,
or to nibble the sweet grass. Then it was a very
good time for talking, as we stood together under
the shade of the large chestnut tree."
ANNA
SEWELL (1820 - 1878) from "Black Beauty"
