| About Us
At
Star Cross Stables, LLC, our focus is on Sane, Gorgeous, Athletic
Horses and Ponies Bred for Sport. We strive to produce Friesian
Horses that retain typical Friesian characteristics, yet
demonstrate superior power of impulsion and movement. Our
horses actively compete and excel in ridden dressage and driven
dressage, as well as combined driving and hunter paces, including
jumping.
Our
Friesian breeding started with one mare, Paolaa* in
1995. She was imported from Holland as a weanling by Case van der
Groef, past president of the Friesian Horse Association of North
America. After
she had two foals for us, we campaigned her up and down the East Coast
in Combined Driving, Show Driving and numerous Hunter
Paces. Our efforts were rewarded with the 1997 FHANA
President's Trophy for Driving.
Since
then, we have trained and competed with her offspring and
descendants. Some highlights include Remington (Stallion
by Pilgrim), and his full sister Nikita at the Saratoga Driving
Trial in October 2002, winning the Training
Pair Division. Our horses have scored consistently in
the 70's and even 80's in the Breed Divison at Dressage at Devon,
and Remington was awarded High Point USA Bred Stallion at Devon
2003. Wenda (bred by Barbara Schwartz of Ladyhawke Farm
and ridden by Debbie Wasser) attended one ridden Dressage
show in 2003, and cleaned up the Intro and Training Level
Tests, winning championships for both! Not bad for her very first
show! Update - Wenda won the Training Level Championship at
her first recognized show - BFK Midsummer North, scoring 73+!
In
2010, we have decided to begin a Boer Goat breeding
operation, starting with top-notch show and production bloodlines
to be able to meet the demand for top quality breeding production
and show stock in NJ and the surrounding states. We will keep this
operation small, to be able to focus on exceptional quality,
and stay within our self imposed limit on livestock to maintain a
sustainable farm that is ecologically balanced, and with productive
pastures.
