Paul and June MacMillan, and John, Janet, James and Jaelyn Drynan own and operate Maple Ridge Belgians. Paul was raised on an Ontario Century farm in Cumberland, Ontario, where they farmed with horses. A tractor, purchased in the early fifties, supplemented the work that the horses did. When Paul's father passed away in 1973 there was still a Belgian gelding on the farm and he purchased his first registered Belgian mare that fall.

We have been showing our horses in halter classes since 1977. In 1989 we bought show harness and hitched up to a four-horse hitch until 1996. We still compete in line classes and on occasion have hitched in a mare cart class. Each year we raise a few foals, with some available for sale in the fall.

In 2006, the horses moved from Cumberland to a new stable at the Drynan's place in Mountain, Ontario, located on county road 43, between Kemptville and Winchester.

If you're in the area and would like to stop by, just give us a call and we'd be glad to show you our horses.
