We are fortunate to have two farms. Our main
farm is in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and our second farm is in Mt. Dora, Florida. Can
you think of two better locations? Our
Wisconsin farm has 420 acres. The horse barn has 16 stalls, a large hay loft and an
equipment area. There are nine pastures for horses and lots of crop farming
acres. A farm wouldn't be complete without a beautiful wooded area for riding and we
have that. A creek runs through our farm and we often see wildlife like deer, fox,
coyotes, geese, Sandhill cranes, ducks, pheasants and eagles. We think it is a very
special farm.
Our Florida farm has 20 acres, 15 stall
barn, eight pastures, and a five acre lake with lots of bass.
Both farms are equipped with closed
circuit TVs for foaling. At present we only foal at our Wisconsin farm.

Each farm has It's own character.
The
Florida farm is perimeter fenced with cross fences. This allows some of the
miniatures to roam freely around the barn, apartment, and the driveway. These
miniatures like to look through the doors and windows to see what is going on inside (not
always patiently.) Visitors are always pleased to see these little guys following
them as they come down our 700' driveway. At
the Wisconsin farm we can see miniatures from any window. It is the only farm on the
road giving us lots of privacy, but we are in close proximity to Milwaukee and
Chicago. A visitor might see the miniatures and our dogs, Anatolian Shepards from
Turkey, in the pasture sleeping together with bodies touching.
We presently own 45 miniatures with 20
mares due to foal starting in March, 2006. They are kept on our Wisconsin farm.
We are very excited about the show season, as three of our best show prospects will
be shown by Mr. Frank Lupton of Reflections Farm.
