Sam and Michael Pegg’s passion for the horse industry came naturally: the brothers grew up on their family’s farm in Keswick where their mother, Janet, ran a riding school and bred horses. As youngsters, they rode, helped out at horse shows and went on to become competitive riders and course designers.

“I always wanted to be a rider and have a farm, and it was always on the radar I’d do that with Mike,” said Sam, 30, who is five years younger than Michael.

Early adult life took them on different paths, but in February 2016 their goal became a reality when the Pegg brothers, along with partner Basheer Khan, bought a 102-acre farm at 1060 Scugog Line 12 in Uxbridge Township and established Ten Sixty Stables.
