Baron's Pride Stable opens

Baron's Pride Stable opens. In September NSAC opened a horse stable for educational purposes. The two horses in the facility will provide the students with hand's on learning opportunities in their classes. Each student will also be required to complete horse care duty.

The new stable at NSAC has been named Baron’s Pride Stable, in light of the significance the infamous Clydesdale stallion, Barons Pride, had in moulding the success and integrity of the equine unit in the early years of NSAC. Baron’s Pride was a foundation sire to the Clydesdale breed and was the sire or grandsire of numerous great horses at NSAC, helping to improve the quality of horses on Nova Scotia’s farms and stables.
