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. Contact us for a list of
recommended Rocky Mountain and Kentucky Mountain horse people in
Canada and the US. |
