We are small breeding farm just outside Calgary, AB. We Paints, Quarters Horses, Thoroughbreds and purebred Arabians. My personal favorite and focus are the Arabians. Although I love the 3 other breeds. We breed all 4 breeds for brains, personality, conformation and athleticism. Our horses are extremely willing and have been around people since birth. They learn fast, are easy to train, and were bred to be able to do anything. 

Our Arab bloodlines are mainly focused on Polish bloodlines including Bask, Comet, Sambor, Medalion, Bajdak, Pro-Fire, Ariston, Rezus and many more. We also have include the bloodlines of many other great Arabians including Khemosabi, Muscat, Aladdinn, Zodiac Matador, Magic Dream CAHR, Morafic, and Ferzon. We have a number of pure polish Arabs along with some polish related Arabs. We have a black Pure polish stallions standing at stud with impressive bloodlines. He is also showing to be a very nice filly sire. To date he has not produced a colt. Our other Arab stallion is a Khemosabi, Magic Dream CAHR and Bajdak great grandson. He has many champions in his pedigree and we look forward to his first foal crop in 2010!

Our Paint and Quarter horse bloodlines include many performance horses. We have reining bred horses, working cow horses and rrunning bred horses. With these combination of bloodlines we are producing very versatile horses with lots of cow sense, speed and athleticism. Our bloodlines include, Givemalickin, Dash For Cash, Mac Meyers, Bugs Alive In 75, Deckabo, Rebel Cause, Sir Quincy Dan, Gallant Ghost, Painted Eternal, Leo Maudie and Robin Reed, Doc Bar, Skipper W, Special Effort, Rocket Bar, and many more well bred reiners, cow horses and running horses!

FAMILY

Mountain Valley and Sevenoaks are both family owned and operated. We take great care of our animals and try to make everything a warm and friendly environment. 

Candace Oakes- Owner and caretaker of Mountain Valley's horses. Also the builder of this website. I am there to help with every foal and to teach them manners as they grow. My day to day care ensures that the horses of Mountain Valley are sweet and well behaved. I teach our young horses their groundwork and start and train them under saddle. 

Les Oakes - is the loving and indulgent husband and father. He fixes fences and barns and helps Candace with the training and care taking of the horses. Les is father to Candace and Sabrina. He also breeds Gordon Setters and has recently got a Labrador Retriever to do Hunt tests with.

Hilary Oakes - is the caring and fun wife and step mom! Hil is in charge of business and accounting. She works more with our dogs than with the horses but can spot a good one a mile away! Hilary is great with kids and will make a great riding instructor! Hil breeds English Setters.

Sabrina Oakes - is the cheerful athletic sister and daughter. Sabrina used to be the big rider in the family but got into showing dogs.  She has worked for a Professional Dog Handler but started working in a grooming shop and enjoyed that more. Sabrina has been accepted into SAIT and will be going back to school in the Fall of 09.
