W-Ranch

The Privately owned W-Ranch is located on 270 acres overlooking Georgian Bay in Carling Township. Green pastures surrounded by a mixed forest offer peaceful surroundings for our horses and cattle. The Waefler Family (Peter, Renate, Chris, Monika) arrived in 2000 in Canada in the company of 6 Swiss Warmblood horses, a dog and a dream to build a hors... e and cattle ranch. After almost 2 decades they established a thriving Equine Centre and Beef Farm. An FEI Level 3 Coach who is certified in dressage & jumping. Chris coaches the advanced riders, the W-Ranch Event Team as well as eventing himself. As a trainer of young stock, his gentle methods, compassion and consistency produce calm, level headed horses for any discipline. Peter grew-up on a mountain farm in Switzerland, where they still were haying with the help of horses and transporting the milk to the nearest town with horse and buggy. Peter studied Farmer, Blacksmith and Iron worker. He always had a dream to go abroad and have his own farm. The city-girl Renate always loved gardening and animals. In her youth she spent most of her vacation on farms and then married a farmer. As a young mother Renate went back to school to learn more about the things she loves to do. At W-Ranch she is responsible for all the beautiful flowers around the property and delicious smells from the kitchen.Read More
