Clarion Farm Sport Horses is Excited to Bring to You Quality American Bred Horses that will not only Excel in the Performance Arena, but also become your Best Friend and Horse of a Lifetime!
I have always been a pedigree junkie wanted to know the bloodlines of all the horses I ride. I think my curiosity in pedigrees and performance horses started as a child when the farm I rode at had a number of ponies by famous Welsh sire Gayfield's Vida Blue. I swear that I didn't think ponies could move or jump badly for a very long time! It made it
very obvious to me that jumping talent is quite hereditary and that looking at a pedigree along with conformational
analysis you could make very informed guesses as to how talented a young horse would be. Early in my professional career I went to work for a breeder who introduced me to KWPN horses and their pedigrees. I was like a kid in a candy shop- the Dutch had years of detailed pedigree, conformation, and performance records to look at! When starting my own breeding program, I knew that the KWPN system with their high standards on conformation, athletic ability, and health was a fit for my high standards. We sought out mares from the best mare lines in Europe and research how to breed them to produce a horse that we are excited to ride.
My goal as a breeder is to have the whole package- Beauty, Brains, and Athleticism. We produce horses that have the ability to be world class competitors and well loved family pets. The whole package is rounded out by our raising and training programs that is sure to make any horse you get from us your horse of a lifetime. A breeding program is only as strong as its mare base and we have been very specific about the mares we have chosen. They are not only beautiful and athletic, but come from strong dam lines that have produced many horses that have excelled in both sport and the breeding shed. They are also the kind of mares anyone would be happy to have in their barn. See more about them on the mares page. We cross them with stallions that also have strong genetics, performance results, and produce records. Our first foal crops have been proof that this formula works and we are excited for the future.
