Gemara Farm Foxtrotters is committed to bringing the horses along as naturally as possible with a natural hoof barefoot trim to develop great feet and legs and with natural horsemanship using understanding of horses' habits and communication to develop their minds and skills. We don't ride them until they are three years old, but they have enough background education by that time to understand what it's all about and do well at whatever line of work for which they are destined.
Several of our horses have gone on to become competive trail mounts, endurance horses, pleasure trail horses, and model and versatility show horses. One is even earning her keep doing some Hindu wedding ceremonies! See the horses sold page for pictures of them all.
We don't just sell horses, we try to match a potential owner to a horse so that they can have a good partnership for many years to come. If we don't have a match for you, we won't try to make a sale but will try to refer you to someone who might have what you are looking for. Check out our For Sale page to see what is available.
Shown above left is Baron's Final Star H., a 1997 smokey black minimal tobiano gelding. His background includes some basic dressage training as well as several years of natural horsemanship work. In 2005, he was the Pleasure Horse Champion at the Southern Showcase Foxtrotter show in Perry, GA. He was a stallion for 5 years and we still have two of his fillies available for sale. He's just recently been sold to Mary Hopkins in Tennessee.
Left is Gemara's Lucky Stripe, a 4 yr. old gelding by double registered Pure Luck and out of our Duke's Cast in Iron mare, Golden Cassiopeia. He's shown at a 2008 Brent Graef clinic here in GA. Read more about the clinic on the Natural Horsemanship page.
All of our horses are barefoot, maintained every six weeks by farriers practicing the natural hoof trim. They have strong, sound, correct feet and seldom need the protection of boots, even on rough terrain.
