Hope Haven is a CanTRA accredited facility that is located on 142 acres of beautiful farmland on the top of Beaver Valley, just on the outskirts of Markdale Ontario.

Our indoor riding arena allows for our equine programs to occur all year round. Our outdoor riding arena and extensive trail system lets our riders enjoy the picturesque surroundings of Hope Haven during the summer months.

We have two barns containing eighteen box stalls and nine paddocks for our horse herd.

We also have a large indoor activity centre used for group activities, summer camp and special events.
