About us

Tolt Away Farm

Tolt Away Farm – Icelandic Horses and Lowline Cattle  This farm is operated by the Marenbach family. The farm is located close to Enderby, in the North Okanagan (BC, Canada). We breed, train and sell our Icelandic Horses all over North Amerika since 2002 and started to breed Lowline Cattle in 2022.

Erhard loves all aspects of training of the horses.  At Tolt Away our training is based on the goal for the horses to become great equine partners for their future owners. Our goal is to get a responsive and reliable horse.  We respect our horses as individuals and each horse is trained according to their talents and capabilities.

All our horses are purebred animals and registered with the Canadian Livestock Records Corporation.

Some credentials to our work for the Icelandic Horse breed in Canada:

Erhard is a licensed National Sport Judge for Icelandic Horses ( since 2004) and he also was one of the few to be National Breed Judge for Icelandic Horses in Canada.

Erhard Marenbach has served the Canadian Icelandic Horse Federation as breed leader/president and board member for many years.

For many years Iris volunteered as first Canadian Registrar for the international database for Icelandic Horses WorldFengur . It was a labour of love to enter the initially over 2300 horses into the database.

We hold a deep philosophy that the best way to guarantee a solid, fun relationship between the rider and the horse is to ensure a good match between them.

When it comes to the cows, Lowline Cattle is an environmently friendly Angus breed. The hay/gras to meat ration is better with this smaller Angus breed. They are friendly and fun to be around. This is why we are facinated by this relatively new breed. We only breed purebred full blood Lowline cattle all registered with CLRC.

Iris, Erhard’s wife loves to take care of the horses and cows and loves riding.
