Meet the Clemens at Beaver Creek Ranch and Horse Centre

Brenda Clemens and her husband Barry are partners in Beaver Creek Ranch and Horse Centre near Lumsden, Saskatchewan. Together they raise and train horses manage their 100-head cow/calf herd and conduct Leadership Development Programs Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).

Brenda was determined to turn her life-long love of horses into a sustainable living. She studied Livestock Production at Olds College as the first step toward her dream of a successful equestrian career. Over her 40-year training and coaching career  Brenda has shared her own passion for learning and personal growth by coaching countless clients to a new level of skill, personal awareness and productivity.

Brenda’s credentials include National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Level I English and Level II Western accreditation, Equine Assisted Growth and Learning (Eagala), Level II Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) Specialist and Level I Parelli. She has also devoted many hours to leadership training, including the Leadership Development Program at SIAST.

Brenda committed to the power and potential of Equine Assisted Learning in 2007, when she became a Certified Facilitator. Hundreds of hours spent mastering her own horsemanship skills have given her an in-depth knowledge of the interaction between horses and humans that she is now employing in her highly successful training programs.

Barry Clemens was raised on a mixed grain and cattle operation in Southern Saskatchewan. He learned early that hunting, horses and outdoor adventure were his true passion.

Barry has successfully trained and shown horses in many AQHA, Paint and Appaloosa breed shows, but roping and training good roping horses have always been his favourite horseback activities. In fact, just about any cattle work that can be done from the back of a horse adds up to fun for Barry.

Love of family, friends and the cowboy lifestyle are core values for the Clemens.  Beaver Creek Ranch has always been a family operation where Brenda and Barry instilled the love of horses in their children Jody, Taylor and Shelby who are now raising their children in the same lifestyle.
