Alicorn Farm gets ready for riding season
After moving away from La Ronge as a young adult to be closer to horses, Tina Johnson moved back to the North five years ago and brought her team with her.
Located about 20 kilometers South of La Ronge along Highway 2, Alicorn Farm is owned by Johnson and her husband, Clifford. The couple keep nine riding horses, two minis and a donkey, and they’ve been offering trail riding lessons for the last four-and-a-half years. Johnson said the path riders follow is a short section of the old highway from La Ronge and Prince Albert, which stops just before the Creighton Junction (Highway 165).
“We find the little kids who come out really enjoy the miniatures,” she said. “We bring the minis into town for special events too, so kids can meet them and pet them.”
