About Willow Wood Farms
  Willow
Wood Farms is located in central Saskatchewan (yes way up
north in the snow) near the Saskatoon, lovingly referred to as
the "Bridge City" as the South Saskatchewan River runs through
it and a number of bridges connect the east and west sides of
the city. Terry Lynn is the main horse enthusiast in the family
and has been involved with horses and showing from a young age
starting in 4-H, then showing Arabians in her early teens and
on. She has been involved in breeding them along with her
Mother, Katy Crouch for over 20 years now. Terry Lynn and Katy
co-own the Stallion *Ahmed and have been very pleased with the
foals he has produced for them. They have good conformation,
wonderful dispositions and size with athletic ability. Two to
four foals were raised each year, but *Ahmed is retired now at
age 25. A number of regional champions have been sired by him
and our mares have produced some regional champions as well,
both in halter and performance. Most of the foals born here are
IAHA Sweepstakes (check our favourite links for more
information) nominated.
Along with the Arabian horses,
Terry Lynn also enjoys creating art, including equine sculpture
and a little painting. In the early 80's Terry designed the
Canadian Arabians Breeders Championship trophies and produced
them for the organization until the mid 90's when the mould
began to deteriorate.
Everyone one helps out in the
yard, as gardening and landscaping is a family project, with an
ever changing yard appearance. Terry Lynn is especially fond of
the hardy perennial flowers and has a number of outstanding beds
through out the yard. Being gardening fans we developed and
market a product called the Packet
Pal Garden Row Marker, which takes up part of our time
promoting this product. With the construction of a green house a
few years ago the gardening season is greatly extended for us
which is wonderful given our shorter northern growing period.
