Welcome!
EXCITING NEWS: POCO-RAZZ FARM HAS ADDED AN OUTDOOR RIDING ARENA AND
A ROUND-PEN TO OUR FACILITIES. CLICK ON OUR FACILITIES PAGE FOR PHOTOS
AND INFORMATION ABOUT THESE FACILITIES.
Our motto is “Your Horse, Well Cared For.” We are Jim and Christina Shapiro, owners and operators of Poco-Razz Farm since 1982.
We named our farm after our first two horses, Poco and Razz.

We live on the farm which allows us to continually monitor the horses. Jim is a professor at the University of Manitoba specializing in
animal behaviour.
We built the farm with several key factors in mind:
- Excellent Care with the natural state of the horse in mind
- Low stress management techniques in a setting that provides for outstanding care of horses.
- Convenient Location within the City of Winnipeg
- Operating Hours from 8 am – 8 pm 7 days a week

We have eight healthy pastures with no debris in them, lots of natural shelter and plenty of shade. The pastures are harrowed to
prevent manure build-up and to reduce parasites. Automatic stainless steel waterers provide access to water at all times in all weather.
Water temperature is kept at 12.2 degrees Celsius or 54 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter.
We have a beautiful tack room for 24 riders and a separate restroom/change room. We provide a place where your horse can roam and
you can ride.
Visitors are permitted but are not allowed to touch, feed, or handle any horse without the horse's owner being present. Ample parking is
available in designated parking areas.
We do not accept stallions, ponies, or heavy horses. We accept horses of all ages but reserve the right to ask an owner to remove
his/her horse if that horse is not fitting into the herd in an acceptable manner. We also reserve the right to refuse to accept
unhealthy horses. All new horses are quarantined for two weeks.
Give us a call. We would love to give you a tour of our facility.
