We strive everyday to give the care, training, and love needed to realize the true potential of each of our horses. Dive in to learn more about our people, our facilities, our amazing horses and dogs and the nature of our performance-based nurturing.
Ariel’s journey with Annie Eldridge began in early 2012 in Southern Pines, when they were introduced through a mutual friend. Ariel began riding a few horses for Annie, and Annie invited Ariel to bring her own horses north to her farm in Massachusetts that summer. Ariel competed additional horses for Annie throughout that season, and since then, Annie and Ariel have steadily built a string of horses over the last thirteen years, including Ariel’s renown 5* partner, Leamore Master Plan. In addition to ‘Simon’, Ariel and Annie have purchased several other promising young horses, and with Ariel’s dedication and patience in producing and developing strong partnerships with the horses, they hope that they will one day be competing at the top level of sport. Several are already competing at 3* and above.
For years, SRF has relied on the expertise and unique eye of Diane Considine Photography to capture the personality and quality of our farm and our horses. Most of the photos on this site are thanks to Diane. She is well established in the Sandhills community as a talented animal and local photographer. We invite you to explore her portfolio, which extends well beyond just the equine segment.
