Foothills Equestrian Market Summary: 2026 Performance
As of February 2026, the Foothills County equestrian market remains a premier "Blue-Chip" segment of Alberta real estate. Characterized by a low-inventory environment with only 1.5 months of supply, detached horse estates and professional training facilities are viewed as resilient safe-haven assets. With the average sold price for rural detached homes in the region currently hovering near $1.6M, the "Horse Capital" continues to attract high-net-worth investors and professional riders seeking long-term land stewardship within 30 minutes of Calgary.
2026 Equestrian Assets
- Training Centers: High-performance facilities west of Millarville with indoor arenas often exceed $3.5M+.
- Hobby Farms: Fully-fenced 5-to-10 acre parcels in the Okotoks corridor are currently averaging $1.2M - $1.8M.
- Bare Land: New equestrian-zoned parcels (15+ acres) are listed near $625k, offering "choice of builder" flexibility for custom barns.
Market Resilience Factors
- Regional Water Project: Enhanced utility security via the Foothills Okotoks Regional Water Project acts as a massive equity anchor for equine land.
- "Flight to Quality": Demand for properties with established barns and shops has increased as building costs remain high in 2026.
- Zoning Stability: Foothills County's commitment to R-RUR (Rural Residential) zoning ensures the preservation of horse-friendly density.
Smart Equine Strategy

Foothills Equestrian Real Estate: Frequently Asked Questions
Key insights for buying and managing horse properties in Foothills County—covering animal unit limits, water well requirements, and facility permits.
1) How many horses am I allowed to have on my Foothills County property?
In Foothills County, the baseline density is generally **one "animal unit" per three acres** of land. For example, a 30-acre property typically accommodates 10 horses without a special development permit. On smaller parcels between 3 and 9 acres, the County may allow up to three animal units. If you plan to exceed these limits for a commercial Foothills ranch, a development permit for an Intensive Livestock Operation (ILO) is required.
2) What water flow rate (GPM) is needed for a horse boarding facility?
For basic residential horse ownership, a well producing 3-5 Gallons Per Minute (GPM) is usually sufficient. However, for professional boarding or training facilities in Priddis or Millarville, we recommend a minimum of **8-10 GPM** to handle arena dust suppression and multi-stall automatic waterers. Proximity to the Foothills Okotoks Regional Water Project also provides significant long-term security for equestrian land value.
3) Do I need a permit to build an indoor riding arena?
Yes. Any permanent equestrian structure, including indoor arenas and barns, requires both a **Development Permit** and a **Building Permit** from Foothills County. If the arena is for "Limited Public Use" (up to 16 non-resident users per day), it must meet specific criteria regarding vehicle trips and manure management. Searching for homes with barns and shops already in place can often save months in the permitting process.
4) What are the rules for "Horse-Safe" fencing in the Foothills?
Standard post-and-rail or wire fencing is generally permitted without a permit if it does not exceed 2.0m (6.5 ft) in height. However, on luxury horse estates, we recommend professional-grade fencing that avoids barbed wire to prevent injury. Boundary fences must also comply with the **Line Fence Act**, which governs the shared maintenance and repair of fences between neighboring rural properties.
5) Is there riding trail access in Foothills County?
One of the biggest draws for Foothills equestrian real estate is the immediate access to public trail systems. Many properties in the western Foothills are just a short trailer ride from Kananaskis Country (Sandy McNabb and Leighton Centre), offering hundreds of miles of world-class mountain trails. Additionally, some elite subdivisions include dedicated community bridle paths for residents.
