Best Horse Breeder Hamilton Near Me

4worldlovers:
Greetings for 2018 to all of you from all of us at Ontario Breeders Production Sale and Orchard Park Stables. It has been a busy year so far. Chad and I took OPS Rapson to Aiken, SC to suss out the eventing world. We saw lots of great venues and had successful schools over many courses.

Rapson, a homebred Irish Sport Horse Stallion, is showing promise as an eventer. We will post his progress and show results.

I will be doing an article on the Irish horses I have raised and sold, and would like all of you that have or had one, to send us pictures and testimonials to be included in the article. Please help us do this by reaching out so we can all stay connected.

Inventory at Shady Maple Farms, Hawksview Farm and Orchard Park Stables is at an all-time low. To run a sale, we need approximately 30 prospects to allow us to choose the top 20 to present to you as bidders. As we don�t have the numbers, we won�t be able to run the sale for 2018 and possibly in future years. Our apologies for making this decision so close to sale time. We�ve been trying to make it happen but the numbers just aren�t there.

This is definitely not the end for Ontario Breeders Production Sale; it is just a new direction! We are excited for what the future holds and will continue to produce horses that we are proud of. Steve MacKay, Valerie Williams, and I have limited stock available for sale privately.

We more than welcome inquiries and would be happy to accommodate if we can.

We breed and raise our horses specifically for our production sale and private sales.

Our breeding stock is selected �not by chance� and the offspring therefore is an elite product.

The line-up of horses each year is handpicked specifically for the sale.

Because we are proud of our product we want to disclose what the buyer wishes to know! You can trust that when you buy a horse at our sale, the x-rays are available and the horses are all started under saddle.

4worldlovers: Where our number one priority is to provide a safe and natural environment for horses to be happy and healthy

Valley Farm is located on the traditional territories of the Mississauga and Haudenosaunee nations, and within the lands protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Agreement, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Haudenosaunee to peaceably share the territory and care for the land and resources around the Great Lakes. May we be guided by love and respect as we transform our personal and institutional relationships with Indigenous friends and neighbours.


Valley Farm offers outdoor boarding on 22 acres with immediate access to some of the best equestrian trails in Ontario. This natural lifestyle allows horses to be with the company of their herd 24 hours a day, the freedom to move, and access to forage (pasture or hay). A DIY stall is available, and horses may come in during extreme weather. We are currently at capacity, but you can join the waitlist.

Pet a Pony is a family experience designed for kids and their parents or guardians, to get up close to a horse in a safe and natural setting. Each program is unique and guided by each children’s interests and comfort level. Activities may include watching horses from a protected space, petting, grooming, leading, snapping lots of pictures, and possibly even a short ride on Tangle.

This is a great opportunity to spend time together as a family, learn more about horses, build confidence, and experience sheer joy!

This is a private program for families, for up to 3 siblings at a time.
