Welcome to Arctic Ranch,

where we offer the follwing equine related services:

• Breeders of American Paint Horses, Welsh Ponies and Shetland Ponies.
• Horses for sale, for show, hobby and breeding.
• Small family riding school with lessons for all levels of riders.
• Trail rides.
• Approved horsehauler.
• Distributor for Dale Chavez saddles, and offer sales of other tack and equipment.
• Import/export of horses and frozen semen.

We are located in Ballangen, a small community 50 km south of the city of Narvik, Norway. Ballangen is set between the beautiful mountains and the famous fiords of Norway, offering visitors spectacular views and great adventures in nature. The ranch itself is close to the main highway E6, and is family owned and operated. We raise cattle of NRF Norwegian Red, witch is a high producing dairy breed. And of course, horses and ponies.

We imported quality Paint Horses from the United States. Our horses are suitable for successful competition in traditional western events such as western pleasure, trail, western riding, and halter. We look for performance and pedigree in each horse we buy or breed, and our horses carry some of the leading bloodlines, like Zippos Sensation, Red Sonny Dee, Scotch Bar Tommy and others. Additionally we raise lovely Welsh and Shetland ponies, suitable for the youth competitor. For our pony breeding program, we look for a pony that will be a safe youth mount, and has the potential to be part of a great show team.

We feel that knowledge and passion for horses are strongly connected, and we'd love to share our horse passion with you. Currently we have 12 horses and ponies. And we offer year round riding lessons, and in the summer we offer trail rides.

We haul horses and cattle, and for our buyers, we offer door-to-door service. Jan Henrik and his father-in-law Ivar, have all certification needed. We have knowledge and experience in equine import and export, and offer services connected to this for our customers. We haul horses from Amsterdam to Scandinavia, and are now agents for European Horsebreeders, offering services to mare owners, who want to use frozen semen from American stallions

Additionally, we are one of the few European distributor for the very well known western saddle maker, Dale Chavez. We also offer other show tack and equipment.
