Relatively difficult to find in Canada, Mountain horses are a trail rider’s dream. Their natural four beat gait virtually eliminates the need to post in the saddle. They are consistently good tempered, affectionate horses, making them ideal for young and old alike. We pride ourselves on raising confident, well mannered foals. We handle them daily, using John Lyons based training methods. In addition to extensive ground work, our horses are exposed to a wide variety of obstacles, terrain and wildlife on the trails, ensuring a well rounded horse that is truly a pleasure to own and ride. Most Mountain horses are under saddle and on the trails at the age of three. In fact, it is challenging to find an affordable six or seven year old as they are highly prized and not often parted with. Due to the overwhelming demand for our Mountain horses, we regularly import carefully chosen youngsters and under saddle horses. Please contact us for information on horses currently at our US facilities. Nickel Back Farm also offers a referral service for anyone looking at gaited mountain horses. If we don't have your dream horse, we will gladly refer you to reputable breeders and assist you in finding the perfect horse.

Majic Dancer This exquisite 5 yr old, 15'1 gelding is a magical ride indeed. His gait is show worthy, with a breathless, ground covering stride. This lovely boy is gentle and kind, with impeccable ground manners. Confident riders with quiet hands will love riding the trails with this wonderful guy.
Meet Bo- My Crabbet Arabian gelding - For Lease with Option to Buy Would be perfect for someone interested in dressage lessons. This boy has very nice movement with a floating trot that is a treat to ride. He is 18 yrs old and 100% sound. Just reaching 15 hh, Bo is a sweet, affectionate horse with impeccable ground manners. He has been ridden dressage and jumped in the past, but has led a life of leisure the last few years due to my progressive arthritis. He is an honest gelding who responds well to quiet hands. He is well trained but is best suited for a confident, experienced rider or would make an ideal companion horse. Click here to Learn more about the Crabbet line.
Rio - Endurance Rider Wanted! Rio is an 8 yr old, 15'1 Rocky Mountain gelding. I rescued this loving boy from a less than loving home. He has come a long way from the frightened horse that leaped out of the trailer 3 years ago. He is now one of my favourite "performance" rides. Rio is super charged...he really moves out, and I would love to see him with an endurance rider. I think he'd give the Arab world a run for their money! He thrives under an independent seat and quiet hands...only the most experienced of riders for this boy please. A soft spoken, gentle person would be unbeatable on this gelding.
