Our Story
Six Pound Farm is a beautiful, peaceful and spacious farm located in South Eastern Virginia, close in proximity to the North Carolina border and about 30 miles inland.
We are proud breeders of Royal Dutch Warmblood horses (KWPN) with a focus on Jumper types that suit the needs of a professional or amateur owner. We firmly believe that you get out what you put in, and that applies to every aspect of our management program. Our program is smaller and quality focused; which allows for daily individual attention and interaction. The health and well being of every horse in our program is paramount.
Our breeding mares have been carefully selected for their athleticism, rideability, temperaments and sport performance or potential. We pride ourselves on running a top quality program in every aspect of breeding and youngstock raising.
Our stallion selections are based upon the best matches for the individual mare, aiming to produce horses with exceptional interior and exterior qualities. Our mares receive optimal care at all times, and live in smaller sized groups as naturally as possible. Our young horses are also carefully raised in age appropriate groups; they have ample and safe turnout where they self exercise, daily handling, regular farrier and veterinary attention and a high quality nutrition program.
We often have a select few young horses available for sale, please inquire.
We also offer limited boarding at our tranquil and private farm. We have large, open fields which the horses find calming and reassuring of their surroundings. The environment lends itself to very happy and well settled equines.
Our all inclusive care program is perfect for owners that want all their horse’s essential needs met but don’t have the time or space to do it themselves. Perfect for youngsters, retirees or broodmares.
