Fox Creek Farm Equine Services

Fox Creek Farm doesn't only grow exceptional produce. The farm is also home to a small herd of horses, from a small Haflinger, to a Shire (the largest breed of horses in North America).

We offer carriage rides, pony rides, and beginner horseback riding lessons here at the farm or at your location.

Carriage Rides

We offer on- and off farm carriage rides with our draft horses and our classy and comfortable 4-passenger wagonette.

Pony Rides

Bob the Haflinger pony is charming and friendly - and a super pony ride horse!

On-farm pony rides include one-on-one time for grooming, and are 30 minutes. This is an outdoor activity, best suited for nicer weather.
