Our History
Joe Selinger immigrated from Germany to Canada in 1957 with a dream of importing top quality jumping horses and breeding them in Canada. In 1959, two years after arriving in Canada, Joe purchased 25 acres South of Calgary. Literally one fence post at a time he started building his stable. The most commonly asked question we hear is, "Why St. George's?" One of Joe's first customers, a columnist for the German horse magazine, Sankt Georg, suggested naming his stable after the popular publication; thus, the birth of St. George's Stables which has now been operating in Calgary for over 50 years.
Head Coach, Frank Selinger, began his career as a professional in 1973. Not long after that he won a Bronze medal at the Pan American games. With his 34 Grand Prix wins and his leading Canadian Rider title that he was awarded at Spruce Meadows in 1977, Frank is a truly accomplished and expert horseman. Most recently Frank was awarded the 2018 Jump Alberta Owner/Breeder of the Year award. He has spent the majority of his life importing top quality horses, giving him the experience to find a great match for each rider and to help them achieve their goals.
