EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT: Black Horse Farm is sad to announce that our Barn Manager, and Head Groom, Meredith Lee is leaving to pursue new opportunities out of State. Meredith has become “family” to me and my animal clan at the farm. Meredith will be deeply missed. Meredith’s care and expertise of my horses has exceeded all expectations, and my horses have thrived. I enjoyed and benefited from her companionship as a team member. I support Meredith’s pursuits 100%, and know that she will achieve all of her life goals. I wish her all success and happiness. I will always be ready and willing to provide any support Meredith might ever need in the future. I am hopeful that Meredith will visit often and join us on hunting and riding adventures for years to come! Black Horse Farm is always “open” to Meredith!

Saturday's hunt can be described as a pleasant and lovely ride following the hounds over the amazing countryside of The beautiful Hidden Hollow Farm, Massbach IL. Cash was his usual "brilliant" self, always "asking" to get closer to the hounds.😉🐶 Sunshine, Fall colors, great friends, great horses, and amazing hounds. That was Saturday.🐶🐴🍂🍁

A gorgeous Fall day out with the Massbach Hounds. The dry season is not yet bringing "fast & furious", but Huntsman, Tony Leahy keeps the hounds on their game, and Saturday's ride covered lots of ground over 4.5 hours! Luckily our generous hunt members and hosts, always have a beautiful lunch and beverages waiting back at the meet! ☀️🌾🍂🍁🐶🐴

Going fast is easy. Going slow is hard, subsequently, the "canter work" never stops, especially between hunts. Cash and Frankie tackling the "Pinwheel Of Death" canter exercise.
