Our Farm & Facilities
Our farm is located in the Whitewater region of the Ottawa Valley in Renfrew County.
Our outdoor lessons are held in a 100′ by 200′ sand ring, while our large coverall riding area allows us to hold indoor lessons and activities during inclement weather.
Meet Our Herd
We are passionate about our horses. Many of them have been trained their entire working lives by us as a family. Some of them were even born here on the farm!
We strongly believe that having happy, healthy horses and emphasizing the importance of their well-being should be at the core of everything we do as equestrians.
Hear From Our Happy Campers & Riders
I have to say, when the kids drove down the driveway on the last day of camp, they immediately asked if they could stay longer. I explained that camp was over for the summer, and for the rest of the week, they asked to go back. Gabo said you were like a second family. Thanks for taking such good care of him. I have never, never seen him so enamoured with anything else.
