    Join our family on our beautiful farm on Vancouver Island. We have horses that need exercising and love. Helping to look after our herd with us is the main focus of the farm. We have mares and foals as well as some therapy horses, working horses and retirees. There is a lovely trail that goes around the whole farm to ride or walk on. My husband and I both love to cook and entertain. Our 21 year old daughter lives with us and helps on the farm.

We have full time and part time staff to help with the business, we are looking for people that want to spend time with our mares, foals and young horses and the care of them.
