We are a privately owned farm just 1 hour north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Amy has been involved with horses her whole life. Her aunt professionally trained Arabians and can always remember being around horses as a child and I guess they just never left. I began with an involvement with American Saddlebreds in the early 80’s. My husband Jack, an attorney, also started with Arabians and had great National show ring success. Since our marriage our farm is dedicated to raising American Saddlebreds, known as the "Peacock of the Show Ring”.

Our farm is a work in progress. We started with a beautiful barn and some pastures, then we added more pastures with lights and water to most of them. We added an all weather outdoor round pen, along with more pastures with run-in sheds.  Finally, we made the decision to put up an indoor riding arena. Jack, my husband, put in the lighting all himself. He never ceases to amaze me.

We take pride on being a farm who are amateurs and who also are able to do it on our own.  Not to say we don’t send horses out to trainers, because we do. But, we train all of our in-hand colts, and start our horse’s under saddle.  We love working with the babies and we have been quite successful.

Jack and I, the first year of showing in-hand, won our first Saddlebred open futurities (Penn-Ohio & Tri-State) with a Monaco filly named Princess Grace of Monaco. What a thrill to have bred, raised and trained, of course with help from the master in-hand trainer himself, Jim Aikman (Thanks Jim!).

I guess I could blame the love of the pinto on Michele Macfarland.  One of my visits to the World Championship horse show in Louisville, KY I saw this beautiful horse come in the ring who just took my breath away!  His name was CH The Fire Fox. From then on I was hooked. I had to have one (little did I know I would have several later) and I could not settle for just a plain chestnut.   So my search began and I found Thunderstruck who later became with me CH Thunderstruck.  I won several Three Gaited Pleasure Horse Championships and this grand horse with a huge heart is still with me today at the ripe old age of 22. The pinto Saddlebred passion continued and has become the cornerstone of our breeding program and what we have become today, the proud owners of Monaco and his offspring.

We hope you enjoy the site and please feel free to contact us anytime, cheer for us at the shows, or even stop in to see us. I think you will be very impressed!  We are very proud of our horses!
