Horse Care

Our lovely horses

Our horses are our co-workers and our companions. They willingly put a lot of effort into pulling our customers around and for that they deserve and receive the best care possible. We feed them alfalfa hay which is sweet and tasty and very high in protein so they have lots of energy. They have free choice to the hay and also get grain feeding once a day.They have shelter to go under when the weather is bad.

They get groomed every day before the harness goes on. The harness is comfortable and well adjusted so it's easy on their shoulders to pull the sleighs. They wear special shoes with spikes on the toes and heels for traction so they never slip on ice or snow. They only work full time in the winter and spend most of the summer frolicking in a big field of grass. They do some odd jobs in the summer like wagon rides, farm work and logging. We also take them to some small fairs to compete in draft horse competitions like log skidding, cart & wagon classes.

During the weekends in the month of October they pull wagons at North Arm Farms in Pemberton. Here, people come from all over to find the perfect pumpkin from the Sturdy's pumpkin patch. You can visit the farm and enjoy our free wagon rides.

Our team King and Chief were winners at the Duncan Fair in the summer of 2005. Impressively, Chief won Reserve Grande over all. Thanks to Brian Clayton for showing them there.
