Welcome to the McClelland Quarter Horse website. Our ranch is located just off the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway #16, near Maidstone, approximately midway between the cities of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Edmonton, Alberta in western Canada. Family members first homesteaded this land in 1905. Vern and Kitty are proud to be the fourth and Scott, the fifth, generation to live here.

| Our family is dedicated to providing quality horses that are closely matched to skills of their prospective riders, as we want both parties to enjoy their time together. We personally evaluate over a thousand prospects each year, primarily mature geldings, in order to purchase those that meet the standards our clients have come to expect of the “M” over “open half diamond” brand. We have developed a strong network of working cowboys as our preference is for horses that know how to go to work every day in all sorts of weather. |
| "I strongly encourage you to put your confidence in MQH’s desire and ability to match you with the right horse for your needs. They make you feel like you are their only client and concern; very knowledgeable and articulate horse people. I found dealing with their family to be delightful and honest. They fairly and accurately represent the fine end product they produce and deliver." – C. E., Michigan. |

| We own every
horse the ranch sells; after an initial assessment period, they
are placed into training in either the Patrol
/ Trail Horse Development Program or the Ranch
/ Rope Horse Development Program. If you spot a
horse on the website that you think may meet your needs, phone
Scott for a progress report. Be honest with him about your abilities
and situation, as that information is critical to our ability
to match the righthorse. If you don’t see what you are
looking for, drop us an email and we may know of where we can
find one, or even may have it already on the place, just not
advertised yet. |
"You will
love everything that comes out of MQH's clinics
... they are incredibly fun and exciting ... our
club hosts one every year ...
Scott does an amazing job of installing a new level
of confidence between horse & rider ... it is
the beginning of an unbelievable bond
of faith and trust ... his training program is an
absolute must do for any age, level, or discipline
... you will not be disappointed!"

All of our horses are sold health, soundness, and satisfaction guaranteed under a written sales agreement. We are experienced exporters and work closely with a dedicated team of equine veterinarians and transportation firms. This commitment to excellence has led to a growing list of international clients from across North America and inquiries from Europe and South America. |
| "Some of the best mounted patrol horses in the world come out of McClelland Quarter Horses in Saskatchewan, Canada. They deliver high-quality, well-trained police horses to your door, and their horses come with a money back guarantee! The horses are very affordable, and their training program is second to none." – L.S., California |

Scott is also available to do clinics for mounted patrol units. His focus is on teaching the individual rider how to work closely with his or her horse in the successfully meeting the challenges of the job. We have observed and participated in training sessions across the western United States and Canada only to find that most police departments concentrate their training on the unit, and not on the very important relationship between the horse and rider.
Feel free to Contact Us at any time for more information, or stop by if you are in the area. We will happy to give you a tour of our ranch herd and training facilities.
