At Maplewood Farm, we have a long tradition of keeping draft horses to share with visitors the majesty of these incredible animals. In the old days, draft horses were essential to farm life — from plowing fields to hauling goods to market, they were truly the backbone of farming communities.
This Thursday (30th Oct), we welcomed a new member to our farm family — meet Wilma, a sweet Belgian draft horse! She’s absolutely beautiful and already showing her gentle personality.
Wilma is currently being housed separately from the other animals while she completes her two-week quarantine period before joining the herd.
We adopted her from a wonderful rescue in Squamish called @secondchancecheekyeranch and we’re so grateful to them for helping Wilma find her forever home with us.
Come by the farm and say hello to Wilma soon — we can’t wait for you to meet her! 💛
