Matt & Benjamin Story

Here at Clydesdale Outpost our passion is breeding world-class Clydesdale Horses. The humble operation began in Fernwald, Germany (Fernwald means Far Forest in German) which has become our farm name, Far Forest Ranch.

It was 1995 when Benjamin Arnold and his father Karl Arnold bought their first horses: Princess, Dylan and Royal… all Shire horses.

Over a decade later, in 2009, Benjamin visited the American National Clydesdale Show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Soon after he purchased two Clydesdales, Impression and Belle, fillies from Texas and one Clydesdale Stallion Thunder from Ontario, Canada and flew them to Fernwald, Germany, about 45 minutes North of Frankfurt. Their hobby had transformed into importing horses from America and developing award-winning bloodlines, and Karl’s favorite, driving their carriage through town.

Benjamin Arnold met Matt Ladensack in 2013 and decided to immigrate to America when they were married. Together they began to build their dream of owning their own farm and continuing Far Forest’s traditions in Washington State. They renovated a 100-year-old homestead, built a new barn and cabins at this Amboy, WA property.

In 2015 Benjamin and Matt Arnold-Ladensack launched their breeding in the USA and began a showing career in North America. The Far Forest Clydesdale breeding operation is based on some of the original horse bloodlines that were imported from the USA/Canada to Germany and now back to the USA.

Benjamin and Matt sold their 8-acre ranch in 2021 and moved from in Amboy, Washington and to Whitefish, Montana in efforts to build out a larger Clydesdale Outpost. They also foaled two new family members, Marga out of Rain and Joan, Isabelle’s first foal.

Matt and Benjamin are excited to launch Clydesdale Outpost | Whitefish and share their horses with you and the world.

Dig Rotary Day

Let’s Play with the Big Toys and Build a Splash Pad!

Have you ever wanted to ride a big Dozer? Well here’s your chance at Dig Rotary Day!

The Kalispell Rotary Noon and Daybreak Clubs are excited to bring back to our community “Dig Rotary Day” – a fun-filled event the whole community will “dig.” The date will be Saturday, June 11, 2022, from 10 – 3 at Hwy 93 and Rose Crossing. Get ready to pack up the family for a great day! Participants will have the thrill of exploring and getting hands-on with heavy construction equipment such as excavators, graders, and bulldozers.

Dig Rotary Day Details

Price:

Entrance fee for the event is $5 per person and $20 for a family of 5 or more.

The Benefit:

Your generosity will have double benefits, as all event proceeds will go to the design and construction of a community splash pad along the new Parkline Trail in Kalispell.

So what’s a splash pad? A splash pad is a recreation area, often in a public park, for water play that has little or no standing water. This is said to eliminate the need for lifeguards or other supervision, as there is little risk of drowning. Typically, there are ground nozzles that spray water upwards out of the splash pad’s rain deck and above ground water features such as a rainbow (semicircular pipe shower), or mushroom or tree-shaped showers.

The Daybreak and Noon Rotary Clubs of Kalispell intend to work closely with the City of Kalispell and the residents of Kalispell to design and build a splash pad along the new proposed Kalispell Trail through downtown.

Becoming a Sponsor:

The Flathead Valley business community has always provided generous support for local events and causes. Rotary’s mission is Service Above Self. We make a difference together through our charitable donations and volunteer service. Kalispell Rotary Clubs would be honored to have your support as a Dig Rotary Day Sponsor. Learn more – HERE.
