The end of the year is a great time for connecting with a new horse so you are ready to be a team by next summer. We have a wide range of options and prices. Let Lisa match you with the right horse. Now more than ever, we are confident that actually riding prospective horses is the best way to find your perfect match. With the power of AI and increased scammers, we have found basic video to be a good tool for initial impressions and prefer to host riders and trainers for trials. Riders without trainers may be subject to a trial fee. Please ask when you arrange your appointment. Visit our Sale and Lease page to see some of our loved horses available.
2025 Foals
Our newest two cuties out front!
This year brought a colt in May and a filly in July. Aberdeen, one of our best mom’s had Knox, a bay colt this spring. He was eager to have a playmate. Jess, our Clydesdale mare, made Knox’s days more playful now that both mares and foals are turned out together. Everyone is getting along, but Aberdeen is definitely the boss. The babies are friendly and often in the front paddock so everyone can enjoy seeing them. Jess’s filly is very sweet and friendlier than her mom. It shows how much proper handling from the very beginning impacts the human/horse bond.
If you stop to see the newest arrivals, please mind your fingers and body parts. These guys are definitely learning about their teeth. We respectfully ask visitors to remain in the parking area/driveway and not enter the barnyard, pastures, or barns. We are a working farm with a lot of activity.

Hello!
We look forward to a fun (and relatively short) day tomorrow. If any WNEPHA trainers (that already have students registered) have a WTC rider that needs a pony, we have one rider that wants to move up and we would be happy to share an appropriate pony/horse for the division. Two would be even better!
Schedule: (Rain is supposed to pass by 8:30 ish if we get any)
Indoor:
WT Division – 3-4 riders
WTC Division – currently 1 – hoping for another
Short Stirrup – 4
Outdoor:
Baby Green – 3
PreChild/Adult Eq – 5 (maybe 3-4 for medal)
11:00 ish Hunter Pleasure and Bridle Path Hack – 2-3 riders thank you for understanding that we will move this as close to 11 as possible
Mod Child/Mod Adult Eq – 3
Child/Adult Eq – 5
We will have some water etc in a cooler to share. And a few fun prizes from Dover.
Feel free to Lisa if you have an interested WTC rider to join the division or have any questions.
** Trainers should have received this via email, too.
Summer Program Registration Online!
We look forward to seeing everyone this summer. It is always hard to think about the summer when the weather is chilly and the horses are still wearing winter blankets….but we are excited to have our own foals arrive and be surrounded by green grass and trees with foliage. Check out our Summer Programs Page for details and the link to register. At this point, we are also anticipating a WNE-PHA Horse Show on July 27.
See you at the 4th of July Parade!
