Published on 22.12.2011 in Featured Stallions and Studs
As the dew settles on the grass, and the sun creeps over the horizon, Finch Farm is abuzz with activity. Mares with foals at foot nicker in that low, knowing manner they have when expecting their morning feed; hooves clop on concrete as the first rides of the day walk through the barn and out onto the arena; from humble beginnings, Finch Farm has grown to become a business, a horse stud, and a way of life. ...
