If you were suitably impressed, and are now clamouring for a career in the ponies, one way to get there is to buy a horse; one way to increase those odds is to buy a horse farm and have many.

Listed at $7,665,000 this massive property boasts luxury and all the fixings one needs to start riding to their dreams. There is a nine-bedroom main house with pristine views of the rolling mountains, two large hay and feed storage buildings, a full horse barn with a wide centre aisle, a feed room and loft, a workshop with drive-in bays and a separate farm office building with a board room and reception area (Listings by broker John Dunlap, Moffat Dunlap Real Estate Ltd.).
