WELCOME TO CAPRICORN FARM

we are located in Kempton, Pa

This is our beautiful Grand-Daughter Elizabeth celebrating her 2nd Christmas with her Grammy and Pop-Pops.  Oh how we love being Grandparents. We welcome you to our web page and hope you enjoy visiting.  We offer limited full board and treat all the horses as our own.  You are welcome to stop by for a visit, just give us a call at the numbers below.  Maybe you'll be lucky and come on a day that Rich is grilling.  Oh how we all like when Rich cooks!!    

These are our horses:  

This is our beautiful registered buckskin creme colored Quarter Horse filly we've named her Trueblue Sahara Rose.  Thank you to Maggie for making such a lovely filly for us.  Watch for her to be in the show ring this year.  You can visit Hidden Hill Farm for more exquisite foals and horses, see our links page for more information. 

This is Snowdrifts Mista KingsGold,  she is a beautiful blue roan born on 5/6/04.  This Foundation Drum mare is registered with the American Drum Horse Association.  Her mother, Snowdrifts Princess Dale was bred to the registered Clydesdale, "TerraGold's King Footprint", also black and white.  King had won at the Pa Farm Show numerous times and  possessed other championships during his show career.  Sadly the Thoms lost King in January of 2004.   We couldn't have asked for a nicer girl and are very proud to have her as part of our forever family.   Misty was shown as a weanling in the Pa 4-H locals and won 1st place, progressing on to Harrisburg and acquiring 2nd in States competition.  Congratulations Amanda S. on your wins!

Misty is being bred to the Gypsy stallion Pendragon in Feb 2009.

He is a homozygous stallion located in California.  

This is "Frost Sir James Emily" aka "Tawney".  She is such a wonderful horse.  She stands 16 hands and is dark bay.  She is registered Clydesdale and also Foundation Drum.  Tawney is sired by Hope Farm Sir James, who is out of Doura Enterprise and Shining Meadows Orphan Annie (who goes back to the Ogdensburg lineage).  Her dam is Mimi D'ormstown , who is out of Melbourne Red Swan and Civic Trudy D'ormstown (which again goes back to the Doura lineage). 

We're going to breed Tawney to this homozygous Gypsy stallion Keebler for a 2010 foal:  

An example of what Tawney has produced is pictured below.  This beautiful Premuim Drum tri-colored filly, Feather Dancer, was born on June 20, 2006.    You can see more photos of Dancer as she grows up at this website:   http://www.celticcrossingsfarm.com/ccfmares/dancer/          

Tawney being ridden by our trainer Nina:

Congratulations Nina and Tawney on your recent wins!  You both did fantastic.       

BIG NED:  

Anyone from beginner to experienced rider loves riding and driving Big Ned.  Above is Nicole showing him in early of 2008.   Ned has been used to teach our previous trainer Sue Moss how to drive and our daughter-in-law Vicki to ride.  He certainly did very well for both of them.  Ned is a handsome, big-hearted blonde Belgian gelding that originally was a rescue from New Holland at maybe the age of 3 months old (he was actually taken directly from his mother at the sale).  He just loves to be in a show ring especially with his cowboy hat on.  You can see Ned at some local horse shows and the Pa Farm Show.  He is one of the greatest horses we have ever had the pleasure to work with.  Rich, you did a wonderful job with training him and you can be proud of all your work.   

The photo above is our school trained Farrier Eric Frick putting new shoes on Big Ned.  He's not one of those fly-by-night concrete people turned farrier like another one we know too well/too late (poor Dale).  Eric did 3 of these big horses today and he's beat.  But Eric said most horses are no where near like Ned, being so good that is.  Eric can be reached at 610-217-4369 and tell him Ned sent you.

Vicki, our daughter-in-law, won Reserve Champion the fall 2006 with Big Ned.  Congratulations Vicki!  Your dedication to learning how to ride has given you quite an accomplishment!  He's now become the mount of Olivia.  She's doing a fabulous job learning how to ride.  Look for her and Ned at some upcoming shows.  Thanks Olivia!!  We'll get a photo of them up soon.       

Bodacious Dusty Harlo  This is my special registered Spotted Saddle Horse.  She is as sweet as the day is long.  Loves people and will lick you forever if you let her.    Harlo had this handsome colt born on Easter morning 2008.  His name is "Dakota Joshua Rocks" aka "Joshua" and is now owned by Tyson.   Josh's a wonderfully handsome guy with a partial blue eye who has been great to work with.   Joshua is also registered SSHBEA.  This photo was taken May 2008: 

    

 

 

 

      

Our Special Angels Dale & Heidi: This is Dale was our first Drum mare and Heidi, our beautiful Rotti.  Dale is also Misty's mother.  Dale sadly passed away January 18, 2006 at the young age of 10 yrs. old and we had to put Heidi down on Feb 21, 2008.  We miss and loved them both!
