Our Story

---

For over 30 years we have been one of Western Canada's premiere horse sale companies; the early years as a place to market quality foals to sales of quality consignments from reputable breeders, trainers and owners, up for public auction.

Though we plan to continue to raise quality foals here at the Rocking W Ranch, we would like officially announce that we will no longer be hosting the Rocking W Horse Sales or Tack Sales.

We would like to sincerely thank the consignors who have faithfully supported the sale for many of the past 31 years and thank you to the buyers for supporting this sale as well. We'd also like to mention a special thank you to all of those who have helped us over the years - without you, we couldn't have done it.

We have made many special friendships and we value these connections very much. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your lives.

We wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
all of us at the Rocking W

Established in 1918

The farm on which the Rocking W stands was homesteaded in 1918 and since then it has passed hands through the generations to Rick Wiebe and his family.

2018 marks the Centennial Anniversary of the farm.
