This was the location of Behind The Bit Equestrian Center, a rescue farm for neglected horses and ponies.
In 2018, York Developments sought to develop the property. They purchased the land and informed the rescue farm on January 3rd, 2019 that the lease would not be renewed and that they had until January 30th to vacate.
The owners of the business tried to fight this in the court system. The presence of the heavy machinery, hydro being disconnected and often having the driveway blocked was a huge inconvenience for the rescue farm.
York Developments then sought a cease and desist notice to stop having people ride horses on the property due to potential liability from people being injured riding. This also affected people who had horses boarded at the farm.
The owners of the horse farm were left with no choice but to move to a new area to continue the business.

Sadly or actually, graciously, this is not a venu to air personal vengance issues Sandy. This actively sounds like slander and is completely inaccurate and a personal attack.
Thank you for identifying yourself to this community I do hope to bring bear some light to these personal issues to the site manager as they have no bearing here.
The actively owned organization in question has a website and the critters are healthy and happy as evidenced by eyes on the ground provided by multiple third parties.
@site Owner, please help?
Please stop Sandy.
I was the person who owned the rescue your referring to.
Hi Lauralynn,
My friends and I boarded our horses at this farm in the 1970’s. Originally, it was a family farm owned by the Westeinde’s until it was sold to York Developments.
I revisited the farm around 2016 when you were there, running your business – Behind the Bit. It was a great location and you had a nice setup there for the horses.
It was unfortunate that you had to vacate the premises.
Are you still running the business at another location?
