Back of Beyond Equine Centre is nestled on 95 acres in the heart of cottage country in Muskoka, Ontario. The Centre is truly in the “Back of Beyond”, secluded and private - one km from the main road. It is also a short drive from the picturesque Town of Huntsville and the quaint village of Port Sydney. See our Map

he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it;
the basest horn of his hoof is more musical that the pipe of Hermes.
