    Description

    Our Farm is a equine breeding and training facility north of Toronto. We raise Welsh ponies for riding and driving. We have a riding school and train horses to carriage drive and ride. We compete at many riding competitions and carriage driving competitions. We compete on Ontario hunter + jumper circuit as well as at breed shows. We generally have 2-4 foals a year. My daughter, Kilby, is 18 years old and attends French immersion school. She enjoys the horses very much and spend much of her time in the barn riding. A wage will be provided to those with knowledge in training horses in jumpers, dressage or carriage driving of $490 for every week worked of 30 hours. This is minimum wage for Ontario.

    Look forward to meeting you!
