What is it about? Where is the barn and where does it air? I hear all about it, but haven't seen it at all.

Hey Barb, it is a reality show following the day to day of Wendigo Farms in Bradford, Ontario. It follows Tammy Crisafi (owner?), Allie Zlepnig (trainer), Jennalyn Webber (barn manager, who replaced Megan but she came back at the end of the season), and various other relations (friends, family etc.). It airs on CMT and I think they are running repeats of season 1, Fridays at 7:30. I watched the season online though on CMT http://www.cmt.ca/UnStable/

Here is the stable's website (takes a minute to load)http://www.wendigofarms.com/

I hope there's a second season. I know everyone moaned and groaned and hated the first season, but honestly- it was good fun to watch if you didn't take it too seriously.

Plus any time you see horse stuff on TV it's a good thing.

I'm with you Willy! Plus I've seen way worse in person hmm

The words reality TV and drama go hand-in-hand just as well as.. well.. boarding facility and drama

I doubt that there will be a second season. I have a feeling we would have heard a bit more about it from the "stars" if they had filmed more!

NightFlight, this could be possible that there won't be a second season. I did hear that they'll be back on the 29th, but I don't get to watch actual tv, so I'll have to wait for it to appear online if it is indeed returning. We'll see!

I've just recently watched a few episodes. Definitely a good conept for a show!

It is horrid TV and gives a bad name to horse people in general. It shows poor business management, poor horsekeeping and poor employee relations.

In Australia they showed what I believe to be similar to UnStable but a british version called "A Stable Life".

It followed the life of 2 trainers in the UK and some of their up and coming mounts.

I thought it was quite good :)

UnStable is a fun show to watch but it gives a bad reputation to Canadians and horse people. Meghan saying that one reason she loved France was because London was a wicked city. London is in the UK. Makes us look like fools. And the business management, employee relations, horsekeeping stuff is also really horrible. Never do you leave a kid on a horse in an arena alone and never do you get off and fake you got hurt it is not funny or smart.
Still hope we get a second season.

I haven't seen it, but agree with the bad rep to Canadians and horse people. Everyone should really take reality t.v with a grain of salt though- no one is that dumb or has a life that exciting!
