About 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 horse and cattle ranch. After almost 2 decades they established a thriving Equine Centre and Beef Farm.
