AshAm West is situated in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, 5 minutes south of Calgary, Alberta. Our name, AshAm West, is derived from two sources. The "AshAm" comes from the names of our two daughters, Ashley and Amy and the "West" from "Maple West", John's home farm in Ontario, where his father raised Percherons for many years.
At AshAm West Belgians we place a high level of importance on the pedigrees of our horses. We have a breeding program that consists of our herd sire, W.B. State of the Art, (a Congolaise Supreme son) and 6-8 mares. These mares are from such bloodlines as Greentop Centennial, Orndorff's U2 Charlie, Korry's Captain, Master's Eddie, Marquette Du Marais, Misty River Ben and Orndorff's Highlight.
We enjoy showing our horses annually at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede and at the Mountainview County Fair in Olds, Alberta. On several occasions, we have shown them in Sandpoint, Idaho and in Toronto at both the C.N.E. and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. We have also shown at the
NABC III, IV & V.
Please come and visit with us and our horses either at the shows or at home.
Visitors are always welcome at AshAm West Belgians and Maple West Percherons! Call or email for directions.
