Northern Lights Farm
Dedicated to making dreams come true
Off Track Thoroughbred Restarting - From Startgate to "C"
There are many beautiful Thoroughbreds at the track. These horses are smart, athletic and kind. They all deserve respect and an opportunity at a second career after they have finished racing.
In addition to all the services that Northern Lights Farm already offers we will also have a selection of performance Off Track Thoroughbreds available for sale. I also will help you select an appropriate match for your riding needs and will offer training services to those wishing to purchase a horse directly from the track.
From a young age Joyce has always had a passion for Thoroughbreds and racing. Growing up beside a large training and breeding center in Hillsburgh Ontario she frequently visited the horses and stables gaining valuable knowledge of the racing industry. Joyce has turned this passion into providing Thoroughbreds that are finished racing with a second career.
"Thoroughbreds are one of my all time favorite breeds. They are versatile, athletic and smart."
Services include:
locating a suitable OTTB for your needs.
restarting OTTB's.
