| Mission Statement | ||||
|
Garner Creek Farms is our home as well as a breeding and training facility for some of the best Hanoverian horses in the United States. Our goal is threefold: to breed the best riding horses for Dressage and Jumping possible; to provide our horses with the absolute best training, handling and riding possible so that they will carry these important first lessons with them to a successful, competitive life; and to import a small number of very select riding horses and broodmares to complement the riders and breeders in the U.S. We consider the best riding horses to be those of sound mind and body, showing beautiful expressive movement, athletic ability and talent, as well as a joy to be around and ride. We are dedicated to great horses and their ability to enhance and enrich our lives! |
