Welcome to Deer Haven Farm!
If you’ve had your eye on one of our horses, now is the time to act! Be sure to check ‘Our Horses’ page for..
...a quiet mare just started in dressage..to a well-started 4-year-old anxious for more advanced jump courses...to a flashy gelding looking to leave his mark on the performance circuit...and more.
All of our horses have impeccable ground manners, great conformation, great gaits and great dispositions. All have been professionally started and trained to various levels of skill — they’re ready for you to take the rest of the way!
We concentrate on getting a quiet, solid start using classical dressage training techniques. With this classical start, horses can easily make the transition to more advanced training in a variety of discipline(s).
We are committed to responsible breeding, rearing, training and marketing practices. |
