"Dreams
Come True Farm" is a privately owned barn and
residence
purchased in the fall of 2002. We raise
and train FPS/FHANA Dutch registered Friesians, which are for
sale.
Conveniently located a few miles from I-81's Exit 52 and the Carlisle
exit 226 of the PA Turnpike, the property now has a lovely completely
remodeled
modern home, a fabulous barn with a camera monitored foaling stall, an
attached indoor
riding ring with rubber footing, 2 outside grass footing arenas with
one being a 40 X 80m driving arena,
lots of lush pastures with run-in sheds and automatic
waterers, and a hacking/driving path through the woods and around the
property perimeter.
With Thomas' help, my dreams come true!
I
have discovered the kindness and warmth of the Friesian
horse, buying a yearling in 2003 and in 2005 a 3 in 1 package from the
Netherlands as a retirement present and project. Our first foals, an
Ait colt and a Teade filly arrived in 2006. In 2007 Santa
brought me a fabulously well-bred Goffert full-papered filly and in
2012 an even better bred Sipke filly. In March our ster broodmare will have another
Sape foal.
2009 brought many new and wonderful Friesian
experiences with our entering the Friesian show world, traveling to VA,
OH, and MO with some of our young horses, and proud of Sjaantje who
earned 3 World Champion Titles. Our evolving breeding and
training operation has expanded to boarding, and we always have a horse
on the market, and now enjoy taking a horse or two to a show.
In 2010 Thomas & I ventured onto the show circuit with
Sjaantje and sometimes taking yearling, Fancee. What an adventure and
learning experience--I looked at each show as being a vacation with
horses;-) In 2011 after teaming up with Suzy Stafford, we
started to blow the Friesian driving world away--won National Driving
Championships and Sjaantje was the 2011 USEF high point Friesian
driving
horse. In 2012, Suzy put a FPS/FHANA driving predicate title on
Sjaantje by earning 10 points from advanced level FEI #9 dressage
tests. Having retired from teaching in 2005, I am
now able to live my
dream 24/7 and give our 6 horses
[5 are Friesians]
the time they need and deserve!
