HISTORY

If you build it, they will come!

With the dream of having an Open Barn for years, it finally became reality September 10, 2016. It took a year of planning and could not have become reality without the support of all the breeders and owners who supported and attended first Open Barn at Coyote Flat Ranch owned by Lisa & Joey Hammel of Macklin, Saskatchewan. Little did we know how successful this dream would become and 2018 marks our 3rd Annual Multi-Breeder Open Barn
