As Sarcasta has said, it is not horse country, I spent quite a few years at Fort Mac, St.Paul and Smokey Lake. Land prices are unbelievable, rent is unreal, but Fort Mac is still one of my favorite places. Watch your hay quality, we had to haul some hay in from Calgary for a few years, until we had all of our own fields in shape to farm them, even then the hay quality was not great.

There is a lot of muskeg, rocks and trees, but it is a beautiful area, I would move back North in a heartbeat if I didn't have to put up with some of the people.
