Ivor the Driver: A Cowboy’s Legacy | Winnipeg News

Ivor Asham, the legendary “Ivor the Driver” who spent nearly 35 years running Birds Hill Park Ranch, passed away at 74—leaving behind a legacy of horseback joy, cowboy charm, and unforgettable stories. From his farm-boy roots to starring as a wrangler in major films, Ivor turned his ranch into a living tribute to the wild west, complete with John Wayne posters and Calgary Stampede memorabilia. He welcomed over 15,000 visitors yearly with trail rides, wagon tours, and heartwarming hospitality. Known for his love of horses, family, and Toronto Blue Jays, Ivor lived life boldly—and his community will gather Thursday at the ranch to celebrate the man who made everyone feel like family.
