Mark Farndale Stables

The last 2 months have been very busy. I’d like to welcome several new members to our family.

Claire Doney and her TB gelding Aragorn, Ross Steinbach and his Holsteiner jumper Carte Blanch, and Chris Chun with Hershey, who will be retireing, and his new Wurttemberger gelding Romanow! We are looking forward to great 2010 with all of you.

And also congratulations to Heather and Tim Kaeding-Collins on the arrival of their first child, Cooper!!! Guess it will be  time to start looking for a pony for baby Cooper soon!

And last but not least, Lisa Kursinski is now a permanent addition to our barn. Coach, Instructor, Rider, she is awesome. Come by to say hi all the members of Farndale Stables.
