About Us

Hugh Atfield and Bluewater Horseman’s Centre

Hugh resides in Port Elgin, Ontario with his wife Kathy, and daughter Shelby where they own and operate Bluewater Horseman’s Centre.  Bluewater was established in 2002 as a facility offering training, lessons and sales for all disciplines with a focus on the Appaloosa breed.  Hugh’s specialty is youth and non-pro as he has a special way of making a student feel at ease while learning.  Hugh has judged numerous fairs and local equine events, been a guest speaker at equine symposiums, and hosted clinics both at the farm and throughout Southern Ontario .  He has actively supported 4H in the area by providing clinics and judging at local club events.  Hugh and Kathy have also served on the board of directors for the Ontario Appaloosa Horse Association.

Hugh has been breeding, training and showing for many years now.  He boasts an impressive show record that includes some very prestigious wins at the US World Show, Canadian Appaloosa Nationals, U.S. and Canadian futurities, Ontario Provincial Championships and countless Year End High Point Award winners both regionally and nationally, U.S. and Canadian. He has coached many youth and non-pro students to National and Regional championships and top ten placings. Hugh is pictured above with the Ontario Appaloosa Youth Team whom he coached to a very successful Canadian National Appaloosa Show in Regina , SK, in August, 2006.  The girls had an extremely successful show and all came back with National Titles to add to their list of accomplishments. 

If you would like to learn from the best, give us a call and set up an appointment to come and see us.  Our specialty is youth and non-pro. Lesson’s are $30.00/hr and group lessons can be arranged.  Hugh can also be booked for a clinic at your stable.
