Our Family - Past & Present
Our Horses
The Eatock Homestead began it's journey 125 years ago when our family's ancestor's traveled across the ocean to begin a new life and settle the Canadian prairies.
The origin of our family name has been traced to one variant form: Eatough, which was first recorded in the Wills of Chester (England) in 1585.
Our family history can first be traced to James Eatock (Sr.) who landed in the New World in 1905. As a Pavior (civil engineer) he worked and moved with the railway to Saskatoon. Eventually his wife Clara (Hart) joined him and they finished their journey a began their new life on the land we now call Aspen Fire Farms.
Now skip ahead to April of 1987, when Dave & I (Sandy) got married. Dave had grown up on the farm we now refer to as Aspen Fire Farms and was a handyman in every sense of the word.
I grew up on an acreage just outside of Spruce Grove and had a love for horses since I taking riding lessons as a small child.
When we got married, Dave's skills and my passion allowed us to pursue a new life in the form of Aspen Fire Farms, an equine boarding facility. We nurtured our dream, and today are proud to own and operate this facility.
Along the way, we raised two beautiful children who are now full-fledged adults. Megan, is pursuing a successful career in communications. Jordan, is establishing himself as a confident and capable foreman and operator in the wastewater installation industry.
