Meadowland Farm is a productive hay and horse farm offering horse boarding in an area with direct access to the most exceptional network of trails.

We are situated in an idyllic, private and easily accessible location just two kilometres outside Campbellford, deep in the heart of beautiful Northumberland County.

 

Meadowland is an historic farm, first cultivated over 150 years ago. Spread over some 100 acres of  gently undulating countryside with trails winding through over 20 acres of woodland comprising elm, oak, maple and red cedar, the farm still has it's original mature hedgerows and tree lines, enclosing lush grazing meadows and carefully tended hayfields. Wildlife abounds on and around our farm, with wild turkey, whitetail deer, coyotes and wolves. Meadowland Farm is a family business, owned and worked by us; Debbie and John, with the help of our daughter Megan. 

 

Debbie has owned horses for over 40 years.  Her equine experience ranges from managing a Stud Farm on mainland Europe, working with racehorses in Pennsylvania, to working for one of the UK’s top Veterinary Surgeons.  Her life has always revolved around horses and she enjoyed many successful years owning our thriving boarding/training/competition stables in England.  Trail riding has always been a passion of ours.  We, as a family, have trail-ridden throughout many countries in Europe and North America and we established Meadowland Farm to share the pleasures of this informal, recreational riding. 

 

John is our book keeper as well as our computer guru, machinery and farm maintenance man.  He makes sure all the infrastructure on this farm runs smoothly.  John also owns a computer company in England and has just become a distributor for Centaur Fencing.  We chose to start re-fencing our farm a couple of years ago and one company's products by far and away stood out to us, in terms of safety for the young horses we keep here.  Over the years we have installed a lot of Centaur fencing and we like it so much, and have had so many people asking us about it, that when Centaur asked him if he would like to be a Canadian distributor for them, he said yes immediately.  He installs customers' fencing for them and he would be happy to give you a quote if Centaur is fencing you would be interested in.

 

Megan has been riding since before she can remember.  She was given her very first pony when she was 1 year old and she still has her today.  Her childhood pony's name is Cloud and she is a very special little pony who we brought with us from England because none of us wanted to be parted from her. Megan is a very competent rider and has backed and trained many horses for our boarders and for short-term clients who send their horses here to be backed or trained.  She likes to compete in show jumping and hunter classes at the local horse shows. 

In 2004 we decided to move permanently to our farm here in Ontario.  We established Meadowland Farm, offering horse boarding on our working hay farm where we grow and harvest our own top quality horse hay.  We breed Warmbloods (GOV and RPSI), and we also produce a limited number of quiet and well-mannered young registered AQHA horses as well as a few competition horses each year.  These horses are offered for sale to exceptional homes.
