Looking for some names of warm blood breeders (looking for dressage prospect) in Washington state.
Any names that I could look into?
Crestline Farm stands Palladio and Pallido Blu CF.
Blacktree Farm has Yeager GF.
If you are willing to cross into Oregon (Portland area) there are several. Wild Turkey Farm comes to mind immediately. Could I suggest checking out the Northwest Sport Horse Breeders Association? They can certainly steer you in the right direction. Pick up a Flying Changes magazine and see if there are any barns in there. Jessica Wisdom of Equilibrium Equestrian (rider of Cardi, the wonder pony) can also point you in the direction of many available warmbloods in WA/OR and is a great resource for the smaller breeders in the area.
Kari McClain of Miari Dressage and Sporthorses near Olympia, WA
Charlotte Roseberg, Moses Lake, WA
Gwen Blake in Auburn, Washington has some nice babies and older. I’m not sure if they are listed under her name or Donida Farms.
She is currently riding one that she bred at the FEI level right now.
Both Summervale Farm and Equi-Librium Equestrian get a lot of horses direct from breeders to sell, if you are looking for a prospect that is already broke and going. If you are looking for younger, unbroke stock, both of them might be able to direct you to some good possibilities.
Excellent thank you!
Red Wagon Farm
If you are willing to cross the border - Dreamscape Farm in Langley B.C.
Is FireFox Farm still going? She used to have great access to very nice stallions.
To add to this list : I will say many farms seem to be transitioning to a more active presence on FB than their own web pages.
http://www.cocolallacreeksporthorses.com/ on the boarder of Wa & Idaho. She is now transitioning to more of an import business and has started https://www.facebook.com/Ultimate-Dressage-Imports-1639298866293432/
http://foxfirefarm.us/ Yes I believe they are still breeding & active

Another thumbs up for Summervale Premier Dressage. We purchased a mare through Jennifer several years ago and had a great experience! The other one to try is Reid Sport Horses. Catherine has some very fancy dressage prospects!
If you’re willing to cross into Canada, not only is there Dreamscape but quite a number of small breeders with very nice youngsters in a small area - I think a lot dressage trainers have a nice baby or two in the back yard…

Yes, and with the weak Canadian dollar, there are some good deals to be had. No quarantine required for import into the US. All that’s required is a health certificate and a negative Coggins test.
