Jumpers - Hunters - Dressage
Old Bull Farm is a warmblood breeding farm developed over the last 16 years by veterinary husband and wife team Drs. Paul Johnston and Jeannine DeLuca. We started with two and have grown to 14+ quality broodmares and an assortment of promising young horses. Our horses have been very successful in hunter and jumper competetions, and we are honored to have breed the winner of 2009 Canada's Royal Winter Fair Lieutenant Governor's General Cup.
Through the acquisition of embryo's from world class mares, and import of quality breeding stock from Europe, we have proudly amassed an impressively bred band of mares. Each year, we gain insight into sporthorse breeding by closely following leaders in the sport, visiting top breeding operations abroad, and being active members of several breed organizations. As breeders, we constantly strive to improve upon the way we breed and raise top young horses. It is surely an asset that Dr. Johnston holds Veterinary Board Certification in equine reproduction. His passion and professional qualifications have opened doors to access frozen semen from the world's most sought after warmblood stallions. In turn, this has enabled us to produce sport horses in Nova Scotia that are comparable in pedigree and quality to Europe's finest. Our horses are registered mainly as Belgian Warmbloods (BWP) and Hanoverians, however, many top Dutch (KWPN) and Holsteiner jumping lines, can be found in our pedigrees. Voltaire, Heartbreaker, Concorde, Clinton, Escudo I, Lupicor, Indoctro and Contender are but a few examples of great stallions used in our breeding program. These sires are commonly referred to in the arenas of world class show jumping.

Old Bull Farms is named as a tribute to Paul's brother Joe, who passed away unexpectedly in a accident on December 18, 2003.
Joe was affectionately known as "The Old Bull" which takes it origin in the classic tale "The Old Bull and The Young Bull".
Joe epitomized the "Old Bull" and performed many of his day to day activities in a manner which was thoughtful , pragmatic and never rash.
