A renowned naturalist and zoologist, Dr. Al Oeming was director of the Alberta Game Farm from 1958 - 1998, drawing visitors from around the globe.

A familiar face across rural Canada, for more than four decades he toured elementary schools throughout the country with his tame cheetah ‘Tawana’ presenting award-winning nature films and promoting conservation.

One of Dr. Oeming’s great passions is the study of the wonderful creations of the horse era. His collection activities span more than 50 years and he has been conducting annual horse-drawn carriage and sleigh auctions for over 25 years now. Twice a year, in the spring and fall, a major auction is presented on the old Game Farm site off highway 14, just 25 km east of Edmonton. These auctions have become well known for their incredible quality, history and variety. A fascinating collection of horse related antiques is also offered at each auction. Dr. Oeming invites all horse enthusiasts to attend his next auction and marvel at the skills and the fascinating historical legacy our pioneer ancestors gave us.
