About Rising Sun Farms
The Beginning
Joy and Hope grew up on a farm in northern Alberta where the responsibility of owning and caring for their horses was fostered at a young age. In 1997, their love for the animal, and Connemara stock in particular, led them to an interest in breeding. At that time, the herd consisted of two registered quarter horse mares and over the next two years, they purchased a purebred Connemara stallion and foaled several cross-bred Connemara. The resulting offspring were extremely successful: great feet, wonderful disposition and an all around strong, hardy horse.
Today
Now into their 13th year, Rising Sun Farms continues with the Connemara cross-breed, producing several mares and ponies with excellent temperament and configuration.
