Our little flame (Enya - Escudo x Rio Grande) delivered for us again! A little quicker than usual, and for the first time in five pregnancies, a FILLY! And this is a clever one - up in about 15 minutes, latched on and having dinner in about 20. Thoughtful as always, Enya kept to a respectful schedule of 5pm, unfortunately we were about 5 minutes away from the event, but on the plus side, we have a new equine mid-wife - congrats Rob on your first ever witnessing and assisting with foaling! We have named her Valhalla NF (sire is Valensky - Valentino x Cornet Obolensky) and barn name we think? will be Thyra,, that we're pronouncing Tier-ah.

Nordic Farms has indoor spots available. Also, we have a few limited spots in our gelding fields (max 5 horses a field), the mare fields are full at this time. We feed grain 2x a day, and hay 4x a day for indoor. Individual turnout, but can interact with other horses for indoor (so the horses can groom and play).
Outdoor horses have autowaterers, mineral salt blocks, shelters, quality round bales and fresh grass fields late summer to enjoy.

Hunter/jumper focused.

Our facilities:
100 x 180 heated indoor arena, with exceptional footing (no need for watering, so no dust and no mold!).
90 x 220 outdoor arena, groomed regularly.
Large tack lockers, in a heated tack room.
Place to hang blankets to dry and store.
Washing machine and dryer for horse laundry.
Hot/cold wash rack.
Heated washrooms.
80 acre hay field, large hill, old driveway to gallop on.

We are a small facility with the horses care as our top priority. Very flexible schedule for lessons.

Located 20 minutes south of Spruce Meadows and RMSJ. 12 minutes west of Okotoks.

Program is completely custom, you only get billed for the lessons and training rides that you do the month prior. 4 lessons a month mandatory.

Always educational ... and often entertaining!

Had a great showing at Spruce Meadows with Cadet getting solid in the 1.20m and Cordelia working through her anxiety a bit more in the 1.10m..... If you are like we are - are routinely "ride by the seat of your pants" you may want to invest in a new belt or two! Check out some of the new offerings from Red Ribbon Charms (find on Instagram) or drop us a line. Free shipping in Canada.

We are looking forward to the last outdoor show of the season this month! This mare has come such a long way in the 2 years she has been showing. Patience, determination and more patience, she’s starting to look like an actual show horse! (Especially now that I can actually give her a bath…)

We have spots open in our lesson/boarding program. Indoor spots and 4 spots for our gelding fields and 1-2 spots open in our mare fields.

We have secured a ton of hay for the winter, and since we own so many ourselves there is no board increase since the hay surcharge was absorbed into the board price last year.

She's here! Beautiful filly by Olympic van't Koningbos out of Flower of Scotland (Scottie). Not pinto but beautiful none the less! Very rough pregnancy for our stoic girl, but delivered like a champ (standing up!!) good thing we have a cool new AI camera (thanks to Barton & Brock) that phoned us to let us know foaling was imminent so we could assist (well, Maren - expert doula, Linda - panicky assistant). All went very well and Scottie is the fierce protective mama we would expect and baby is a chip off the old block we think! Going to be very tall and elegant. We picked a floral name, so please welcome Primrose NF aka Pip!

Hmmmm we may have to switch to dressage! Them's some fancy prancy moves little man!

Odessa NF being her adorable self. She tries so hard to please her rider every time. Someone would be super lucky to take this superstar as far as she can go (which we think is 1.20m+). Pm for more details

2019 KWPN mare Odessa NF looking good for her jump school today! Love this homebred! Zilverstar T x Singapore x Jasper

This exciting prospect is really showing she was bred to jump! 3rd time ever jumping undersaddle (the other times where small verticals maybe 2-3 put together). And the first time I’ve (Maren) have ever sat on her! Assistant trainer and barn manager of Nordic Farms have done an amazing job with this mare! 2019 Zilverstar T x Singapore x Jasper KWPN mare (15.3 1/2 hh).

Cadet Blue NF playing around a 1.10m course, he’s looking ready to step into some 1.20m courses in the 2023 show season.

Cadet Blue NF showing a bit of talent when it’s comes to dressage movement! Only the 3rd time to be asked to do extended trot, and he’s getting the idea. This boy would be an absolutely amazing eventer! 2017 Check In 2 x Mr Blue x Come On branded Hanoverian gelding (15.3hh).

3rd place for the Chicken Nugget in the 1.10m today! We’ve figured out his ideal warmup now so that’s a positive

La Reina NF is just so much fun. Going to be a great lease horse in the near future!!

The pocket-rocket-rockstar-space-cadet-chaos-carrot-chicken-nugget doing his thing … Cadet for short 🌟

(Sound on), No wonder you scare your baby when you growl like a bear!! 🐻🐴🦄 And if anyone is wondering where all the frogs in the world went.... they are all happily croaking away at Nordic Farms, can't hear ourselves think some days! 🐸

Our Story

Nordic Farms breeds warmbloods for hunter jumper disciplines, provides horse training and rider coaching and offers boarding for horses of all ages. Nordic Farms is a family operation with Maren Reinbold responsible for the development of the young horses and training horses and coaching riders of all levels. Maren herself has competed up to 1.50m FEI level in Canada, and 1.40m - 1.45m in Canada, the US, the Netherlands and Germany. She was a resident rider for two training stables in the Netherlands and in Germany (2012, 2014) and was the only Canadian to be selected by the Hannoveraner Verband to be an exchange rider (2016). As an exchange rider she received daily coaching in the development of young jumpers and dressage horses, theory lessons in the German method for developing young horses, lectures on bloodlines, anatomy and marketing. She worked at the stallion licensing and auctions and continues to receive support from the Verband in her endeavours. Maren actively competes in hunters, jumpers and dressage and loves taking the horses cross-country schooling and on hunts. Maren holds a Certificate in Equine Science and a Diploma in Equine Science from the University of Guelph and current first-aid and Equine First Aid certification.

We offer highly competitive boarding rates for both indoor and outdoor boarded horses. We offer training and lesson programs in private or semi-private sessions. Our brand new facility has a total of 24 stalls, multiple day paddocks and fields (all with auto-waterers), summer pastures, a 100 x 180 indoor arena with state-of-the-art geo-textile footing and a 90 x 200 outdoor arena. We also have gallops tracks, hills for stamina work and a large field for outriding. The horses receive individualized care and attention and a nutrition program tailored to their needs. We’d be happy to discuss boarding and training options with you at any time!

Maren enjoys teaching and builds on her experience as a young rider (first lesson was at age 3 in NSW) in Canada combined with in depth instruction as a working student/rider in the Netherlands and twice in Germany. She can draw on the different approaches and techniques to offer the rider and the horse a training program that draws on the best approach for that situation. As a working student she rode up to 10 horses a day, received dressage lessons and had many opportunities to compete on a variety of horses - giving her an expansive array of skills that she incorporates into her training and coaching programs. Come out and give a lesson a try!

Our breeding program is built on a commitment to proven bloodlines in sport. Maren’s tenure at the Hannoveraner Verband and time spent competing in young horse classes in Schleswig-Holstein and the Netherlands have given her an excellent insight into breeding and performance requirements. Our filly, Cordelia NF was awarded the Jumper Champion Foal for the Canadian Hanoverian Society in 2017. We are committed to responsible breeding and all of our mares have been inspected by their respective stud books (KWPN, Oldenburg, Hannoveraner) and we have hosted both Oldenburg and Hannoveraner inspections. We are always happy to have breeding discussions with other interested breeders in the area.
