Welcome!
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
- Well Managed, 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

There are 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,
you can ride, and, if necessary, your horse can rest and recuperate.
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 will not accept sick horses, very old, geriatric horses, problem horses, or
overly aggressive 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.
Give us a call. We would love to give you an orientation of our facility.
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 or accept
