Wayne & Wanda |
The Kids |
|
Wayne |
In his youth Wayne worked for our local pipeline and the PMU Pharmaceutical Plant (Wyeth) in Brandon. However, all through those years, he has also been farming. Much of Wayne’s time is spent choring and on the tractor but when he is not, he lives and breathes horses and is an excellent trainer. His passion is Endurance and Competitive Trail competitions. Many of Wayne’s horses have excellent performance records in both events. He is also our Belgian expert and enjoys driving his teams through the bush and snow!! Anytime’s a good time for a sleigh ride! | |
Wanda |
Wanda is a physiotherapist by day, and operates her own clinic out of Brandon. Her nights are spent caring for and training her horses. Her expertise is the Arabian breeding. If you have a question about bloodlines, Wanda is the one to ask. Her favourite time is spent taking her weanlings through Pat Parelli’s training process (with a few good tricks of her own!) and going for a leisurely ride. Most of the Arabian mares and stallions are the results of Wanda’s complex breeding plan. | |
Alan & Shannon |
Practically born and raised in the barn, Alan couldn’t image any other life than farming. In addition to his Percheron and Paint horses, Alan has over 2000 acres of organic farmland and 150 plus head of organic cattle. Al is married to Shannon, who also rides, trains, and helps with all aspects of Hedgeville horses and farming. They are expecting their first wrangler in November. Shannon has been collecting ponies and minature animals, just waiting for the time to be right to have a baby of their own! | |
Tanya |
Tanya operates her own full time massage therapy business. Much of Tanya’s adventures in life have involved world travel; having spent time in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and she spent considerable time learning and training at various stables. Tanya enjoys Endurance, Competitive Trail, Equitation and English and Western Show. Tanya lives just a few miles from Hedgeville Farm with her husband Don and young cowpoke Dylan! | |
Tammy & Marcel |
Tammy is the Hedgeville scholar. She has her doctorate in psychology, specializing in animal behavior and is now a professor at Brandon University. Tammy has spent many years away from home while attending school, but now that she is home, she is getting to spend time riding again and is currently prepping horses for dressage. Tammy, her husband Marcel and son Adrian all enjoy working with and riding horses. | |
Terry |
Terry makes her living as the corporate parts manager department of a local implement dealer and her clients describe her as indispensable. After hours are often spent on the farm training 6-10 riding horses at any given time in addition to working with weanlings and preparing for the dressage, jumping, endurance and competitive trail. Terry also keeps the books for Hedgeville and keeps the equestrian equipment organized and maintained. Terry and her husband Billy live a few miles from Hedgeville Farm making for convenient sharing of resources. | |
