Coulee Bend Morgan Farm is a small morgan breeding farm with big goals. The goal is to breed high quality morgans that possess athleticism, beauty, brains, and most importantly have the dispositions that make them easy to train and easy to handle. The farm logo is ‘ Striving to raise show quality morgans that are family oriented’.
Coulee Bend Morgans is owned and operated by Lyle & Cindy Dietz, and is located 2 miles north of Galahad, Alberta, in beautiful central Alberta. Getting into raising horses was a way to diversify the farming operation on the existing family owned grain farm. By bringing in quality breeding animals, and promoting them on the local, National and Inter-National market, the goal that was set forth has become a reality.
The stallions we have stood at stud have offered World Class bloodlines, with sires including UVM Promise, Futurity French Command and UVM Vanir. The addition of our Silver Dapple stallion has added a colorful flair and a great outcross to our mare band. All the mares have either been show ring winners themselves, or are daughters of proven show ring winners. The bloodlines we have brought into Alberta are unique to Canadian breeders, and are proving to be very marketable.
All the foals born at Coulee Bend are handled from birth. We are present for the births of all the foals, and the handling starts immediately. The mares are comfortable with us being in the foaling stall and as soon as the foal is free of the mare, we start ‘imprinting’ the foals. Imprinting is something we consider to be invaluable in teaching a foal the basics of handling. They are rubbed all over until they are comfortable with the handling, taught to give to pressure, pick up their feet, and many other things that make their handling later on go much smoother.
