In 1994, Gwen graduated from the Northern Clinical Program of Outpost Nursing at McMaster University. For almost 20 years Gwen has worked in remote First Nations and Inuit Communities located in various provinces and territories across our great Canadian north.
Gwen has been a horse lover all her life and a horse owner for over 20 years. In 2002 another goal was realized when she purchased a 115 acre farm and named it Cider River Ranch. Cider River Ranch became home for 5 house cats and 1 barn cat, 6 dogs and 7 horses.
When her horses started to become fatty patties and hunky chunkies, and a few behaviour issues started to surface, Gwen began to question whether or not “we are what we eat” was just as relevant for her horses as it was for her and her family. She soon began to understand and appreciate the synergy between horse and rider did not just begin in the round pen. Creature Comforts for Horses is a chronicle of the journey of discovering the importance of knowing your horse from the inside out.view less
