The Curran's purchased this farm in 1997. The entire family enjoys working with the animals daily. In addition to miniature horses, quarter and paint horses, the farm is home to several Nigerian Dwarf Goats, chickens and numerous cats and dogs.

In 2000 we purchased a yearling paint colt, Dominance, and showed him to a World Championship in 2000. His offspring are now following in his footsteps. Dominance is now a multiple World Champion and Reserve Champion Producer in Youth, Amateur and Open classes. We have a selected a small brood mare band of Quarter and Paint Horses that have crossed well with him and hope to continue producing performance and halter horses with outstanding conformation and impeccable personalities that can be shown by all ages.

We invite you to see some photos of some of Dominance's Winners.

We occasionally have Dwarf Goats for sale,
contact us for a current listing.

The Curran's not only show horses, but are active in competing in AKC obedience and rally trials with their dogs and own an indoor air conditioned/heated Dog Training Center, Pads N' Paws which is located on the property. The Curran's have offered obedience classes to the public since the facility opened in 1998. Currently Kevin is showing Ruby, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi in Open and Rally Excellent, and his Bernese Mountain Dog to a Novice Title. Shari is training a Bernese Mountain Dog, Whisper, to a Novice Title as well as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cheers.
