Autumn Finds Her Niche

How I Found Autumn A few years ago I was made aware of a link to a farm in Florida where a woman who bred police horses was going out of business. She had many draft crosses that had been handled well through their younger years but when the trainer left, they all went to […]

Big John

Big John was the first horse I ever bought in a hurry. I had hired a few carriage drivers to work in Old Orchard Beach for me and I was in serious need of another solid carriage horse to keep our schedule. I purchased Big John from a friend who acted as an agent for […]

Abby Does It All

Abby’s History Abby is a Percheron/QH/Morgan cross. Her story begins with the Amish. As a two year old she worked the fields in a team and was bred. A woman bought her at auction but did not know she would have a foal the following spring. The foal and the mare became too much for […]

Red

Red is a great gelding I bought in Florida in December of 2014. He is a chestnut spotted draft with a great white nose and big big knees! He was never ridden and at twelve years old he was as gentle as a lamb and seemed to really want to learn so he could go […]

The Chubby Bottom Boys

Meeting the Chubby Bottom Boys After three years of looking for a reliable team of small drafts I decided to consider a team of Haflingers or Norwegian Fjords for our wagon, carriage and sleigh rides. After several visits and perusing many ads I found a post on Facebook about a pair of stout brothers that […]

Mango

How Mango Got Her Name This quiet little Haflinger rescue was named Mango, after listening to a slew of cutesy names for a little blonde girl. We settled on her name after Banana was suggested by Christine, which was a no go with Stephanie. I thought it would be great for kids to go home and […]

Vista

Vista is a rare Newfoundland Pony that we bred out of Cricket and by Macosa born in 2002 here at Carousel Horse Farm. Her most noticeable asset is her variety of colors that change seasonally which she inherited from her sire. In her breed registry she is considered a radical changer, going from black almost like […]

Melvin

We like to do biographies of all of our horses here at the farm and now we have a new one for Melvin! Melvin is not new to the farm but we did lose him for a bit and now we’re happy to have him back home! So here is Melvin’s story. Melvin was born […]

Cricket

First Newfoundland Pony I found Cricket as a two year old in a pasture alone after her pasture mate had died. She had been purchased from the Newfoundland Island as a pasture buddy for the aging horse. When Cricket arrived, she was perfect in so many ways. I taught her to lunge in the round […]

Rose

On her first trip out in my carriage on the Naples Causeway we were passed by an ambulance with siren blazing. She never flicked an ear. On the fourth of July she slept through the fireworks as a friend and I watched from the drivers seat. Rose is as solid as they come. Often sleeping […]
