About Us

The Split Rail Country Store began in 2008 with a passion for customer service, local products and all things nutrition! 

The owner, Amberly Knott, is a Stratford native with retail & horses in her blood.   Both her Parents and Grandparents owned and operated stores in the city of Stratford, and her Great-Grandparents owned and lived in an "old-fashioned" country store in Drew, Ontario.  Amber also comes from a long line of horse enthusiasts & she demonstrated a keen interest in everything equine from the time she could talk.  She began riding & owning horses in the early years of her life and has never looked back. 

Being a country girl with a lifetime love of horses and dogs means that many of the products sold in store are ones that Amber & her family personally use and strongly believe in.  The Split Rail offers you a wide selection of fresh and high quality feeds for horses, dogs, backyard poultry, wild birds and more.  Over the past fifteen years we have also focused on expanding our line of cowboy boots and muck boots, as well as giftware, lawn seed, local food products and more. 

The Split Rail is highly customer focused and we would love to hear suggestions as to products you would like to see in store, as well as ways that we can serve you better.
