At Verida Farm, the client's horse(s) will live and/or recuperate in a caring and quiet environment. There are 22 acres of open pasture for those who wish to have their horses live out full time and there are 12 12' x 12' stalls' for those who wish to have their horses stalled part of the day and for the lay-ups. Each stall has a solid grill front with a dutch rear door for your horse's comfort, v

isibility and ventilation. There are also two medical paddocks (50' x 50') for the recuperating equine. Verida Farm’s 24 hour on-site, conscientious and well-motivated staff provide greater safety and monitoring for the retired or recovering equine and peace of mind for the owner. Here at the farm every horse is treated and cared for as if they were the staff's own. Michele Oren, owner/manager of Verida Farm, has 30+ years of experience working with the off the track Thoroughbred and medical lay-ups. Her experience comes from obtaining a Thoroughbred race track trainer's license and working at Peterson and Smith Equine Clinic as head barn tech in Ocala, Florida. Michele then rounded out her equine career when she became a part of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF), which she pursued for 8 years. As a member of the TRF, Michele rescued the ex racehorse from slaughter and retrained them to be adopted into new homes for various disciplines. From these past experiences, Michele ventured into beginning a business of her own, Verida Farm, in 2009 where she has committed to provide conscientious, quality care to horses in need. The farm originated in Poughquag, New York, but now resides in Mertztown, Pennsylvania. Because of the quality care Verida Farm provides, 14 original clients moved with farm to its new location to continue with the care that has lead to Verida's reliable reputation. Where did the name come from? 'Verida' was created by Michele's father, Tom Brennan. When she was living in Kentucky, she needed a name for her farm there. "I called my father, the creative one, and after a couple of days he came up with 'Verida Farm'. Vermont for where I am from, and Florida for where my husband, Chip, is from."

FYI fellow equestrians .

The U.S. Equestrian Federation has announced that as of Dec. 1, the use of progestogens in stallions and geldings while competing at USEF-licensed competitions will be prohibited under Chapter 4, Drugs and Medications, of the USEF rulebook. Progestogens are still permitted in mares.

We would like to welcome Harley to Verida Farm. He’s only to be here a couple of months. Owner is looking for someone that may like to lease him. There is a fee involved, to be discussed with owner if interested.
He has shown in a handful of local hunter shows, the outreach divisions and schooling hunters. All 2’3” and did one show at hits at 2’6”. Was champion at winners circle and old field. Also top back prizes at Hits AA.
He is not a beginners pony. He’s not a point and shoot. You have to ride him and he will do what you ask.
Harley is a 7 year old gelding from Finland.
If anyone may be interested, please reach out and I’ll be more than happy to put you in touch with his owner.
