Twin Valley Ranch is located in
southwest Manitoba, on the top of a beautiful
valley only a few miles from the Saskatchewan
Border. Michael has farmed here most of his life
and I joined him in marriage in 1991. We have
been blessed with four wonderful children.
Jessica and Brooklyn the first born are twin
girls, they are now 15 years old. Hanna our third
daughter is 12(soon to be 13), and our son Zane was born in
1995.
The rest of our family consists
of 1 dog (Tucker) and now a little dog (also
named Tucker, it's a long story, but he came with
his name), 160 Cows, and 75 horses.
Previously operating in the PMU industry, has
allowed us to develop a quality herd of mares, this enables us
to raise outstanding foals. Our PMU foals have gone on
to be recognized as very versatile sport horses and AWS.
Since being cut from the industry in 2005, we have continued
to breed our mares to produce these wonderful offspring.
Our mares have been selected or kept
for replacements based on their soundness,
confirmation and size without forgetting that
most important of all, is their temperament.
We breed our mares to mainly
paint stallions, which gives us a variety of
interesting foals. We get the size and
temperament of the draft horses, and fancy coloring from the paints. We have also have a
buckskin stallion and a Thoroughbred stallion,
for just a bit more variety. In 2005 we purchased a
Warmblood colt that we have high hopes for. We look
forward to seeing his awesome babies in 2008.
Our foals have gone on in many
different disciplines, including, Foxhunting,
Jumping, Dude Ranch horses, Buggy horses, to name
just a few...They are keen, great minded horses
that are easy to handle, with the added bonus of
the unique coloring. Whether it be a black and
white, or a half draft buckskin...on one of
these, you'll be noticed.
We are very proud of the
accomplishments of our foals/horses. We try to
keep track of as many as possible, and update our
photo gallery as owners send/email us updates.
We welcome all inquiries. Feel
free to email, or call anytime. And if ever in
our neighborhood, please drop in! We also hope to have a
TVR farm vacation in the fall of 2007. More details will
be posted a little later in the year.
Thank you for visiting our
website, we hope you enjoyed it, and hope you
will share it with others.
Lois, Michael & Family
