FOX & OAK PROUDLY PRESENTS:
Farrah ⭐️
2019 Hanoverian Mare
(Fursten-Look x Embassy)

Farrah is a beautiful and brave mare who made her show ring debut in 2024 in the OHJA Young Hunter Series with good success. She has a soft mouth, easy lead change, and no spook at the jumps.

Offered for sale at $10,000 CAD due to an injury late in the summer. Currently she is paddock sound and has been outside all winter. Farrah would make an excellent broodmare due to her excellent bloodlines and temperament.

📲 Please direct all inquiries to Taylor Brooks.

What a year! Until 2024 I did not know there were such levels of love and gratitude or truly the depth of loyalty and unity within my family, clients, and team. ✨💛

As a professional athlete, welcoming my baby boy into this world meant my riding would take a break while I spent the majority of the year working from the ground. Although challenging, it allowed for others to gain opportunity and it provided additional perspective and appreciation for what it truly means to be a trainer and coach.

Too often our goals are set and measured only by how many championships earned, or getting to the important finals. Too often we forget to enjoy the journey along the way, or to savour other opportunities through the other forms of growth.

Our journeys as equestrians are not one dimensional and often shift and evolve as we get older. It’s funny to think that in the past my goals would have been filled with awards and championships but this year I feel accomplished and proud with no championships or awards won. It is a reminder to all of us as equestrians to strive to become better versions of ourselves every day, rather than focusing on the next class or the next horse show.

I am so grateful to be a mom, a coach, a trainer and cannot wait to return to the show ring this winter in Florida. ☀️🌴 I have no doubt that this upcoming year will continue to bring opportunity and excitement for us all. 🏆🔜

The World Equestrian Centre OHIO is always a favourite venue for our team and this trip was nothing less! ✨🐴🇺🇸

It was an especially exciting week as many new riders made their debut with new partners and came away with experience and appreciation for their horse with every round.

A few highlights of our week:
🏆CHAMPION USHJA 2’6 - Verdi’s Talent ALZ & Julia Hudon
🏆RESERVE CHAMPION USHJA 2ft - Wanbarrow Sonatina & Julia Hudon
🥇CLASS WINNER Children’s Pony Hunters - Woodland’s Elf & Liliana Roberts
🥇CLASS WINNER Low Children’s Hunters - Verdi’s Talent ALZ and Brooklyn Hawes

We are home now and the winter training has begun - 2025 brings new goals, new challenges and new opportunities to explore this incredible passion we all share.

The count down is on as we head south to World Equestrian Centre OCALA in a few months. 🔜☀️🌴

The ponies are taking over at Fox & Oak, but we can’t complain when they’re this cute! 😍⭐️

Congratulations to the McCann family on the lease of Blue Moon for the 2025 season! 💙🌙 Thank you to the Dodson family and Iron Horse Equestrian for trusting us with their special boy. We are excited to watch this pair debut at WEC Ohio this coming week!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Fox & Oak! 🎄🎅🏼

We are so lucky to have such an incredible group of families who came together to celebrate the holidays season. From wreath decorating, to a crock pot Christmas meal, and reindeer games, fun was had by all - including the parents! Stay tuned for some epic videos of our Reindeer Relay! 🥰❄️

We all went home with full belly’s and warm hearts!

12/07/2024

Christmas is a few weeks away but Brooklyn Hawes has already gotten the best kind of present this year! 🎁🐴

Congratulations to the Hawes family on the purchase of Verdi’s Talent ALZ! With this exciting new acquisition comes the decision, from Brooklyn, to step back from the discipline of cutting horses and focus solely on the hunters and equitation. We are proud to have such a well-rounded rider on the Fox & Oak team. 🦊🌳

Thank you to Shane and Michelle Matthews for helping us to make this match!

With December well underway, it seems fitting to welcome “Woodland’s Elf” to Fox & Oak just in time for Christmas! 🎄✨ Congratulations to Liliana Roberts on her new mount for the 2025 season! We look forward to seeing all that this special pony will teach her.🏆

Thank you to Crailin Stables, the O’Connor family, and Maehunt Sport Horses LLC for the opportunity. We can’t wait to see this pair in the ring in the near future!

They say that good things come in small packages! 🥰

Congratulations to Willa Schouten and family on the purchase of Wanbarrow Sonatina! 🎶✨ We are SO looking forward to watching this pair debut together in Ohio at the World Equestrian Centre in a few weeks!

In only a matter of a few weeks, “King of Hearts” has quickly captured the heart of his new rider, Ivy McEvoy. 🫶🏻🤴🏼

We are thrilled to welcome this pony to Fox & Oak and we have no doubt he will be a fantastic partner for Ivy in the coming year. ✨ Thank you to Alanna Parker of Greystone Equine for sharing your special boy with us. We love him already!

11/24/2024

We wish to congratulate Channay Lloyd and Country Lane Farm on the purchase of Cocoricoh Z. We have no doubt that this superstar will continue to shine in your program. 🌟🏆

In just under two years, Helenna Plant fulfilled a life long dream of importing a young horse from Europe and taking part in developing a top hunter prospect. Although bittersweet to see him go, we are so very proud of the horse we have produced.

Thank you as well to the team at WGM Stables for providing such a wonderful end to the show season in Taylor’s absence this year. These two truly ended their partnership on a high note!

Safe flight Ricoh, and enjoy beautiful British Columbia! ✈️🥰

Our winter line up of special events and learning opportunities for the Fox & Oak team started this weekend with a clinic taught by Denis Sweeney of WGM Stables! ✏️🐴

Fresh off his Combined Working Hunter championship at the Royal Winter Fair, Denis worked with our students over 2 days combining some of his favorite flatwork, gymnastic and practical course related exercises.

Thank you Denis for making a stop at our farm before you head to Wellington. It was a pleasure to learn from you and our team was left feeling motivated and inspired to kick off our winter training! 🌟🏆

11/06/2024

It was a road trip to the Royal Winter Fair for some of the Fox & Oak team over the weekend! 🚙🏆🐴

It is always a pleasure to spend time together as a barn family and watch some of the best horses and riders in our country compete. Our riders were motivated and inspired and are eager to get to work on their 2025 goals and for some, work towards qualifying for this prestigious national final!
