The Misty Story
Misty River offers boarding and horse riding lessons for beginner riders through to advanced in groups or private classes, on your own horse or one of our great school horses. We have great facilities including heated barns, indoor wash racks, a huge heated indoor arena for comfortable year-round riding all sitting on 120 acres of lush green pastures. We also offer horse boarding, horse leases and horses for sale. For those thinking of buying their first, or even a new horse, help and advice is available.
Misty River has a long history in the area going back over 40 years. In the past the farm has been a TB breeding facility, a standard bred training stable, a dairy and even a furniture factory. The old name, Elmcrest, came about due to the fact that the land is the highest point in the RM of Ritchot and has a natural abundance of elm trees. It is a long established facility with its own history and sense of place in the community.
The current owners of Misty River, John and Sarah Biron and family, came to Canada from the UK in 2006. The family have a long history of looking after, riding, competing, training and breeding horses all over the world and are now happily settled in “our own little piece of heaven.”
We welcome you to come ride with us, bring your horse if you have one, to develop your riding, train and improve, or just relax and have fun, alongside the noblest of creatures, the horse.
