Rider Picture Day

We've had such interest in this event that we have had to close registration.  Please keep an eye out for another opportunity coming this summer!

Please join us on Wednesday June 21st for a complimentary, professional photo shoot with your favourite horse! Here’s how to register:

1. Complete the registration form.
2. We’ll send you a confirmation email within a couple days of registering.
3. We’ll send you an email reminder a few days before photo day.

We’re looking forward to a great day together! Questions? See FAQs below and feel free to contact melissa.horvath@tead.on.ca any time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long is the photo shoot? We estimate about 20-minutes per rider for photos. You are more than welcome to stick around and enjoy the fresh air afterwards.

When is my time slot? You will indicate all the times between 2pm-7pm that would work for you. We will create a schedule and send you an email with your exact time.

Can I bring my family? Of course! This is the perfect opportunity to get some great photos of your family together celebrating your love for riding at TEAD. Please note that the sessions are 20-minutes per rider regardless of how many guests join in the shoot.

Will I be riding? No. You will be starring in unmounted photos only. This summer, we will be looking for a few riders to share their TEAD story in a more in-depth photo and video session. We’ll be sure to send you the invitation.

When will I receive my photos? Please allow 1-2 weeks. Our volunteer photographers will send your photos to TEAD and then we will email them to you directly.

Will I have help with the horse during the shoot? Absolutely! Our amazing volunteers will be there to help you hold and manage the horse.

What should I wear? Anything goes. Riding clothes, tuxedo, costume, casual wear… This is your time to shine!

Will my horse be clean and shiny for the photos? TEAD volunteers and staff will be busy grooming and polishing the horses, so they look their best for your photos.

Who owns my photos? You. When you register, you will be asked if TEAD can use any of your photos on social media, our website, and promotional material. We would love to celebrate our amazing riders and help inspire others to join therapeutic riding at TEAD. Regardless of your answers, we can’t wait to have you join in the day!

Can I go into the barn and visit the horses? You are welcome to use the property, visit the horses over the fence, and relax at the picnic tables. We’ll be busy grooming and moving horses in and out and, to keep everyone safe, ask that you do not come into the barn.

We look forward to seeing you in the farm!
