Our Story
Nordic Farms breeds warmbloods for hunter jumper disciplines, provides horse training and rider coaching and offers boarding for horses of all ages. Nordic Farms is a family operation with Maren Reinbold responsible for the development of the young horses and training horses and coaching riders of all levels. Maren herself has competed up to 1.50m FEI level in Canada, and 1.40m - 1.45m in Canada, the US, the Netherlands and Germany. She was a resident rider for two training stables in the Netherlands and in Germany (2012, 2014) and was the only Canadian to be selected by the Hannoveraner Verband to be an exchange rider (2016). As an exchange rider she received daily coaching in the development of young jumpers and dressage horses, theory lessons in the German method for developing young horses, lectures on bloodlines, anatomy and marketing. She worked at the stallion licensing and auctions and continues to receive support from the Verband in her endeavours. Maren actively competes in hunters, jumpers and dressage and loves taking the horses cross-country schooling and on hunts. Maren holds a Certificate in Equine Science and a Diploma in Equine Science from the University of Guelph and current first-aid and Equine First Aid certification.
We offer highly competitive boarding rates for both indoor and outdoor boarded horses. We offer training and lesson programs in private or semi-private sessions. Our brand new facility has a total of 24 stalls, multiple day paddocks and fields (all with auto-waterers), summer pastures, a 100 x 180 indoor arena with state-of-the-art geo-textile footing and a 90 x 200 outdoor arena. We also have gallops tracks, hills for stamina work and a large field for outriding. The horses receive individualized care and attention and a nutrition program tailored to their needs. We’d be happy to discuss boarding and training options with you at any time!
Maren enjoys teaching and builds on her experience as a young rider (first lesson was at age 3 in NSW) in Canada combined with in depth instruction as a working student/rider in the Netherlands and twice in Germany. She can draw on the different approaches and techniques to offer the rider and the horse a training program that draws on the best approach for that situation. As a working student she rode up to 10 horses a day, received dressage lessons and had many opportunities to compete on a variety of horses - giving her an expansive array of skills that she incorporates into her training and coaching programs. Come out and give a lesson a try!
Our breeding program is built on a commitment to proven bloodlines in sport. Maren’s tenure at the Hannoveraner Verband and time spent competing in young horse classes in Schleswig-Holstein and the Netherlands have given her an excellent insight into breeding and performance requirements. Our filly, Cordelia NF was awarded the Jumper Champion Foal for the Canadian Hanoverian Society in 2017. We are committed to responsible breeding and all of our mares have been inspected by their respective stud books (KWPN, Oldenburg, Hannoveraner) and we have hosted both Oldenburg and Hannoveraner inspections. We are always happy to have breeding discussions with other interested breeders in the area.
