About Us

Clear Lake Farm (CLF) is an Equestrian Centre dedicated exclusively to Icelandic Horses. CLF is located on 220 acres in the beautiful Almaguin Highlands - about 3 hours north of Toronto / Ontario / Canada. One kilometer of lake shore along former Clear Lake (now Newell Lake) complements this charming property.

Clear Lake Farm is one of a kind, a place where everyone can experience the Icelandic Horse – be it on horseback during lessons, clinics or public trail rides or as a visitor enjoying a relaxing stay at Clear Lake Cottage.

Originally from Germany (a country with the world’s second largest population of Icelandic Horses) Otmar and Kordula have brought their life-long experience with Icelandics to Canada. Their motto “Icelandic Horses – our passion – our pride” comes straight from their hearts.

Otmar has been one of the first Trainer A (highest level) with the German Icelandic Horse Federation (IPZV). He is a Certified Riding Instructor with the German National Horse Federation (FN). Otmar has worked all his life with Icelandic Horses having operated a riding business on an island in the North Sea before coming to Ontario.

Kordula has been involved with Icelandic Horse breeding and competition since the age of 10, and has won several German Master Titles in the youth and young rider divisions. She currently holds a Canadian National Breeding Judge license and Canadian National Sport Judge license.

Otmar and Kordula both play a significant role in the furthering and promoting of the Icelandic Horse in Canada. Otmar is on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Icelandic Horse Federation (CIHF). Kordula works at the provincial level as President of the Ontario Icelandic Horse Association (OIHA).

CLF hosts many seminars and events on behalf of the Canadian Icelandic Horse Federation, such as education for National Breeding and Sport Judges, and a Young Horse Breeding Evaluation in 2007. Clear Lake Farm also made history, by organizing and hosting the First Canadian Ice Tölt in 2006.

The team at Clear Lake Farm provides honest, caring, friendly and professional services that deal with all aspects of Icelandic Horse handling and ownership.
