Meet Asemaa, our new foal, at SSIF 2024

Meet Asemaa, our new foal, at SSIF 2024

Lynn Saxburg, Ottawa Citizen

Ottawa’s Mādahòkì Farm welcomed its newest resident last week with the birth of a foal that represents the renewal of a rare Indigenous horse breed that almost died out in the 1970s. 

“Each foal is so important, and this one even more so because it’s a new stallion for our herd of Ojibwe spirit horses,” said Trina Mather-Simard, who runs the urban farm in Ottawa’s Greenbelt. It’s an offshoot of her non-profit company, Indigenous Experiences, which has been showcasing Indigenous culture in creative and authentic ways for more than two decades.
