In The Barns At South Forty These amazing horses have helped us reach amazing goals throughout their career with us at South Forty. These incredible horses are ones that have joined us in the ring, during playtime, and through adventures all around the region. Just because they aren't listed on our "In the Ring" list, they are no less important to us than our show horses. These horses are the core of what South Forty is. They helped shape and create us, mold us into the family farm that we are today. Many of these horses are listed as "In the Barns" because they will always be here...in our barns, in our fields, growing into happy retirement with us as the years pass. "You can travel to a show and see incredible horses. That happens to us all the time. However, to come home and walk out and see Cricket's Little Buddy standing at the old sugar maple tree, watching over his mares...or seeing Choco Two Socks and Doctor Yankee fuss over an area of pasture they've decided to graze on...to see Lori Darlin' and her son, Veterans Honor raise their heads in the evening sun to see what's happening on the rise... The sense of familiarity and belonging just can't be found in any other way." These horses are incredible, and we just can't see South Forty being the special place that it is without them.
Pink-A-Boo Pinky is our littlest delight...literally. Pinky is the daughter of our miniature horse, Animal Crackers, and we are amazed at how tiny she is. Born at the farm October 2005, Pinky has added spice and spunk with her pint sized attitude! Non-stop sass had followed Crackers around, and we're excited to see how Pinky settles into her role on the farm as Avery's First Horse.

REBEL RIDGE LORI DARLIN' Lori was our diamond in the rough, our unexpected gem. This chocolate mare is one of Amanda's favorite in the lessons, or on the trail. Being shown previously in conformation, Lori was one of the top competitors. However, after suffering a severe hock injury as a three year old, she's decided to keep to lessons, trail, and showing with juveniles. Lori has become a crowd favorite since recovering so well from her injury (the vets didn't know if she would ever regain full use, and she's now completely healed), and is the miracle horse to get to ride in lessons. Lori works with all levels and areas of riding, but her and Tess have cornered the lesson market in bareback riding. Pictured above with son Veterans Honor.
The true foundation and example of our breeding program at South Forty, Vette is a bona fide "Momma's Boy". Diane has this little gentleman pegged for her horse and is putting the miles on him. Laid back, intelligent, and an excellent combination of his mother, Rebel Ridge Lori Darlin' and father, the late South Forty's Phantom, he's bound to have exceptional talents around every new journey.

Bud has shown more times,
with more wins, than we could ever possibly list. This guy has done it
all, and is more than ready to do it again! Bud, a 1988 gelding was shown primarily by
Jason Cole, and you could never ask for a better match. These two have
brought home many awards throughout the past several years and we couldn't be more
thrilled. From the first day we moved Bud home, he's shown us how much
love and passion he has. Bud has a beauty, grace, and definite confidence
that makes him stand out, even if he's just out in the fields. Now retired
from riding/showing, Bud is the model horse on the farm, ready to strike a pose
and gait through the fields if ever the need arises. We were blessed when
we purchased him, to also have purchased his farm friend Socks, and now the two
boys keep watch over the front of the farm, and keep the miniature horses
entertained in the neighboring field.
