Make Will-oh! the Highlight of Your March Break

March Break in Nova Scotia (March 16–20) is always a bit of a mixed bag.

Sometimes families head south.
Sometimes they plan local adventures.
And sometimes… we stare at the weather forecast and wonder what exactly we’re going to do for five full days.

For riders, March can feel especially long.

The footing isn’t quite there yet.
The show season hasn’t started.
The outdoor arenas are still thawing.
And the motivation can dip just when we need it most.

What if this year, March Break became the moment everything clicked?

Why March Is the Perfect Time for Simulator Training

This time of year is actually ideal for focused rider development.

On Will-oh!, there’s:

  • No weather concerns
  • No muddy footing
  • No cold horses
  • No rushed warm-ups

Just you, your position, your balance, and the opportunity to get stronger and more aware before the season begins.

Instead of waiting for spring to “get back to it,” you can use March Break to build momentum.

So Many Ways to Experience Will-oh!

March Break doesn’t have to mean just one lesson.

Here are a few ways riders can make the most of it:

🐎 Book Your Initial Ride

If you’ve been curious about the simulator, this is the perfect week to try it.

An initial session gives you:

  • A full assessment
  • Clear insight into your strengths
  • Awareness of where you can improve
  • Practical exercises to support your riding

It’s eye-opening, confidence-building, and incredibly motivating.

👯‍♀️ Bring a Friend & Ride Back-to-Back

Some of the most powerful learning happens when you ride alongside someone else.

Book back-to-back sessions with a friend and:

  • Watch each other’s rides
  • Share observations
  • Learn from the debriefs
  • Encourage and challenge each other

It’s fun, supportive, and surprisingly impactful.

Many riders tell us they learn just as much watching as they do riding.

🎉 Plan a March Break Barn Party

Still time to gather your barn friends and book a small group session.

A Barn Party or group experience on Will-oh! is:

  • Equal parts learning and laughter
  • A fantastic team-building activity
  • A unique way to spend an afternoon
  • A memory-making experience

March Break is the perfect excuse to turn training into something special.

A Head Start on Spring

While weekends at Willow & Withers tend to fill quickly, March Break still has good weekday availability.

This is your opportunity to:

  • Refine your position before show season
  • Build core strength and stability
  • Improve your timing and coordination
  • Gain confidence heading into spring

Imagine stepping into your first outdoor ride of the season already stronger, more balanced, and more intentional.

Make This March Break Count

Instead of waiting for better weather…

Use this week to invest in yourself as a rider.

Whether it’s your first ride on Will-oh!, a back-to-back session with a friend, or a full group experience, this could easily become the highlight of your March Break.

Spots are open — but they won’t stay that way for long.
