Wachter Horses Information

Wachter Horses is owned and operated by Kurt and Irene Wachter and their son, Beda and his two children, Nadine and Robin. It is situated in Central Alberta, Canada on the farm site of Joyhill Ranch Inc. Beda and his family relocated to Canada in 1997 and dove into the world of Canadian show jumping in the fall of 2000. Since then, the family farm has taken shape with new barns, pastures, a grass ring, a sand ring, stallion station, youngstock facility, quarantine facilities, and numerous riding trails surrounding the 700 + acre farm. A fully heated indoor riding hall was completed in 2002 and sports 25 large stalls and a 75' x 180' arena, indoor hotwalker, motorized manure removal system, arena watering system, treadmill and many more state of the art features. A new barn was added in the fall of 2003 that serves as a foal-out and youngstock barn. The facilities are fashioned after the European style and the majority of the systems have been imported from Europe.
