A relatively new addition to the Ste. Anne's Spa experience is Ste. Anne's Farm. It is home to 10 domestic horses, 3 Percheron carriage horses and a number of beef steers. As a guest of Ste. Anne's Spa, we encourage you to enjoy the farm facility in whichever way best suits you. Read below for options.

 

Are you feeling like a little one-on-one with an equine? Book some grooming time with Karey White (Stable Caretaker) and one of the horses at Ste. Anne's Farms. Karey will help you to catch your horse in the field, secure him in cross-ties, groom the horse - including brushing the coat and mane, massaging any of the sore muscles, picking their feet and braiding their tail (if time permits).

 

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking horse programs with your reservations agent prior to arrival.
