A piece of History;

Not just another feed & farm supply store. Everytime you turn around someone has opened a farm or produce store selling cheap goods from their kitchen. Carriage House leads the way as a full retail facility coupled with our commercial warehouse site catering to the needs of horse enthusiasts, traditional hobby farm people, and naturalists interested in quality Annapolis Valley farm produce. Housed in a renovated 120 year old two story carriage house in the hamlet of Ste. Croix, Nova Scotia, we also carry on the tradition of the structure and area by offering the best feeds available, safe and dependable trailer rental for transport of your horse, qualified farrier service, western saddles and tack, farm supplies, produce, equipment, Carhartt ranchwear and the distinction of being Atlantic Canada's only active American Mammoth Jackstock  breeder, the largest and most versatile of the donkey family.

What makes a business successful? Many know the answer as quality product, topnotch service, a solid business plan all combined with a winning location. All and more go into Carriage House. Located on Highway #1 right at a major exit at the entrance to the Annapolis Valley. No turns, no complex directions bringing you to some backyard operation miles from a major route. Only 25 minutes from Metro Halifax.

It's not all about sales, but it is all about, farming, livestock feed and horses, so stop by for a chat, some advice (offered or received), feed the donkeys, pet the horses or just for a cup of tea.

You have but to contact one of our past customers and ask if there experience was not the best they could have hoped for when it came time to purchase their next saddle.

Farrier

David Landzaat apprenticed under Marc Robbins in Southern Manitoba. Marc is a native North Dakotan, and an accomplished farrier as was his father. After two years of work on Hutterite Colonies and ranches in Manitoba and North Dakota, David traveled to Oklahoma to test and receive his certification. He then upgraded at the Minnesota School of Horshoeing and was listed on Prairie Horse.com as the farrier to contact serving South Eastern Manitoba, NE region North Dakota and NW region Minnesota. Upon arrival in Nova Scotia, David contacted Rick Baillie of the Maritime Farrier School and offered his services for free so that his abilities and technique could be properly assessed by a local teacher in Eastern Canada. The resulting appraisal from Mr. Baillie was "Anytime David Landzaat wants to work side by side with me, he's welcome with open arms". 

Horse Transport:

With our collection of trailers specifically designed with the safety and comfort of the horse, we can transport anywhere in Atlantic Canada with a days notice. The pride of our fleet is a 4 horse slant load custom made steel trailer that offers security and stability on the road. Every horseman knows that a horse on wheels is an un-natural act and that trailering is a neccessary evil. This is made safer for your animal by not loading him with his nose and head in a forward direction risking injury and un-balance. The use of solid steel compliments with the added strength for peace of mind. Sure, hauling this thing takes more fuel, but leave the gas to us. Isn't the protection and well-being of your horse worth the extra?

American Mammoth Jackstock:

At Carriage House we are exceptionally proud to be Atlantic Canada's only active breeder of true American Mammoth Jackstock, the largest and most versatile member of the donkey family. Our animals are registered with the American Donkey and Mule Society, and The American Jackstock Registry. These gentle giants make excellent saddle mounts, driving stock guardian animals and of course, progenitors of the legendary Mammoth Mule that helped build and shape the North American Continent.

Whether your horse is a companion pet, broodmare, growing foal, or competes in equine events, Carriage House has a feed to provide the balanced nutrition to excel and maintain proper health.
