Dream Horse Barn: East Coast Reining Heaven
As horse people, we’ve all dreamed about walking out the back door of our house, across the lawn, to a beautiful stable filled with happy horses. Whether your fantasy is of a cozy two stall barn or a 25 stall show facility, functionality and safety come first…which isn’t to say that beauty and luxury can’t be a part of your dream barn too.
Sumac Farms’s 450-plus picturesque acres in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, is home to 26 horses. Originally used exclusively for pleasure riding and raising reining horses, today Sumac Farms is also a commercial boarding stable that offers lessons, and hosts clinics and shows.
The construction process, from uncleared land to finished barn, arena, and pastures, took two years, with an additional eight months spent building the second barn.
The grounds are equally impressive, with manicured lawns, acres of pasture, and miles of trails, making Sumac Farm heaven on earth for horses and riders.
