Welcome to the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association

The Wild Rose Draft Horse Association (WRDHA) is a group of Draft Horse enthusiasts who banded together in 1994 with the goal of giving all Draft Horse enthusiasts in Alberta a strong presence.

Since that time the Association has become directly responsible for such worthwhile events as the Annual Olds Draft Horse Sale, the Alberta Draft Horse Improvement and 4-H Draft Horse Events. We are also major sponsors of such worthwhile events as the Calgary Stampede, the World Percheron Congress, Irricanna Pioneer Acres as well as most Alberta Draft Horse Shows.

The Wild Rose Draft Horse Association has a mechanism in place whereby all members may bring projects forward for approval. If approved these projects are financed and provided with volunteers. Of course, advertising to all members is included.

We strongly recommend that anyone with an interest in Alberta Draft Horses become involved with the Wild Rose Draft Horse Association by contacting Membership Director, Barb Stephenson 403-933-5765.
