B
ill and Amy Fotheringham where married in October of 1993, and immediately moved into their new home located on 100 acres that Bill had been farming for a few years. Bill was a graduate of Ridgetown Agricultural College and owned his own Custom Spraying and Custom Farm Work business. He also farmed several hundred acres of his own rented or owned land. Amy also held a Diploma in Agriculture from the University of Guelph and had been working in accounting when she was married. One of their wedding gifts was a horse and while Bill did not have a background in horses, it didn't take long for him to realize he enjoyed the horsey lifestyle that accompanied his wife. Amy had grown up with horses, and was involved with her family's Quarter Horse business from the time she was very young. Her love of horses has been a life long passion that was soon to be passed on to her two daughters. Their first child "Chelsie Elaine" was born September 23,1994. Just over a year later on December 9, 1995 "Wynter Selena" arrived. |
| After the first child was born, Amy began building up the equine business. Throughout the years there where many changes to the farm. Some tearing down of buildings and lots of building of stalls, fences, shelters, and the list still goes on to this day. As a family, the Fotheringham's are constantly adding to all parts of their family business, striving to make improvements and keep up with the demands of the business. Their goal is to provide their customers with the highest quality of products and services with the most enjoyable experience possible. |

Our indoor round pen is great for starting the colts, and exersizing the competition horses on bad weather days. |

The old bank barn is cool in the summer for the horses. They have a run in where they can come and go as they please. |
 |
The stalls and everything in this barn was custom made by Bill Fotheringham, including the handy saddle racks. |

The two large pastures contain foal feeders which are designed for the foal to walk into, while keeping the adult horses out.
