OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN BREEDING Located in Jordan, Minnesota
Dear Friends,
Over the last few years we’ve spent a great deal of time, money and energy breeding. Our breeding facility is stateof-the-art and has amazing pasture space to let horses just be. We also have an amazing team who are caring and knowledgeable and have worked with a good number of vets in the area.
We have recently reduced our breeding numbers, so are able to share our facility with others now. We are very excited to offer you: a team to assist you with your breeding needs, recipient mares, and boarding of your mares and/or stallions.
We know a thing or two about what it takes to bring a foal into the world--we’ve topped the breeding charts the last few years--and hope you will join us in 2023 to help your breeding program succeed.
