| About Us... |
| Each of our horses was chosen for a specific reason, whether for color, conformation, ability, or movement. We looked for mares that each had different qualities: one with Halter type conformation; one with the Hunter type of conformation; and our original mare, "Jackie", has got the typical, Western, pleasure type of conformation and movement. So, we have a good variety of conformations and "specialties" to choose from. You will see these differences when you see our mares on their own page. Be sure to check back from time to time to see any additional horses we have purchased, OR to see what crosses will be due to foal in the future. |

Our facilities...
| ...consist of the barn, which has five smaller stalls, three foaling / mare-foal stalls, pastures, outdoor riding arena, a separate shelter-barn, etc... We're nothing fancy. We've chosen what is sensible for the horses' safety and comfort. We divide the horses up enough so that they don't "over-populate" the pastures. They all have plenty of grazing available to them and room to truly be able to "stretch" their legs! |

| ...we'll tell you about the barn itself. We now have three foaling / mare-foal stalls in the main barn. Each stall provides ample room for the mares to safely give birth to her foals, as the two smaller foaling stalls are 12' x 14' each. These stalls have large windows running the length of each stall, and one has it open along the sidewall as well. These two stalls were made with 'slide-in' darkened windows to be put in during the Winter months, so as to draw in some heat from the sun. The third and largest of these is 12' x 18'. We have installed security cameras in one corner of each of these stalls so we are able to monitor the mare in any particular stall when they are near their due dates. This has made things much easier to keep an eye on them without disturbing the mares. Our fourth foaling / mare-foal stall is now housing our 3 weanlings. The building itself is 12' x 20', and they've each got plenty of room. We store their hay and grain in the 4' space in the front. In the main part of the barn, we have our tack room and five smaller box stalls. Each of our horses is turned out from just after the morning feeding until it begins to get dark, so our stalls are still quite suitable. We have a lot of fun with our horses and we have found the birthing process to be amazing! We've had a few "touchy" deliveries, and a vet is not always readily available to get to farms on short notice, so we have now had plenty of "hands-on" experience. |
