Emily has a terrific eye for a pony and a fountain of experience with them from which to draw. Ponies require a different understanding and mindset, a lesson learned over years of dealing with their personalities and idiosyncrasies. From my first pony (an unbroken three year old!) to the staid, experienced ponies that I have owned since, I have always loved the process of making up and maintaining a great pony. Emily and I share the priorities necessary to good training by respecting the time and schooling program that each pony needs. We believe in building the correct basics of training and trust in young ponies and matching them with their best riders. The pony business that I have created over the past seven years is primarily lease based with some sales animals. Emily and I source ponies from all over the U.S., put them into the Stonewall Farm program, and collaboratively determine their training and marketing programs. As an entrepreneur, I enjoy the business challenge of pony ownership. As a horse person, I love to watch the development of my ponies as they move up the ranks of the horse shows, become more mature, and end up teamed with a young child in the show ring.
