Ridgemor
Farm, Inc. is nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East
Tennessee. The farm started with the primary focus being promoting and
preserving the Cleveland Bay, a rare and endangered breed. We hope to
do this by showcasing the athleticism and the versatility of the breed
in the show ring. We also have Cleveland Bay/Thoroughbred horses for sale,
also known as Cleveland Bay SportHorses. These crosses have proven their
athleticism in the international arena. We have a very limited breeding
program for these SportHorses and hope to begin a limited purebred breeding
program as we develop our farm.
In January, 2008, we expanded our operation by leasing an additional 100 acres one mile from the original farm. . We took over a boarding program in place. In additon,
we added a trainer, Joni Scates (formerly Howington), who gives lessons, trains horses, and
has horses and ponies for sale. To learn more about her, visit the Training/Lessons link. Tally Mock cares for the horses, which are checked over once or twice a day, depending on their location. Tally is excellent at picking up injuries which helps us provide superb care of the horses. We have a wonderful working relationship with Countryside Veterniary Services who will come out and evaulate an injured or sick horse whenever we need them. Other veternarians are allowed to be used if boarders have a preference. The horses are on a regular worming program and the farrier comes out regularly. We are looking into adding services such as tacking and grooming for interested boarders. We also plan to have Holli Adams, renowned
AA circuit hunter/jumper trainer, visit often for clinics. |
