River Boyne Farm

04/30/2026

Due to some recent events at the farm, we have decided to offer a few breedings to our 2022 GVHS registered blue roan stallion...

💙 RBF Rolls Royce Griffon aka Griffon 💙

Current height of 14.3 1/2" and is PSSM negative. Ee aa tt and RN/rn

Offered to approved mares for Live cover only at this time. We know its late in the season for breeding plans and these are preferably to be used in 2027, but we may be able to squeeze in one or two 2026 breedings.

We feel that Griffon would be best suited for producing sporthorse type babies and would cross very well on friesian, Warmblood, and drum type builds.

River Boyne's Kissable at almost 2yrs old

03/26/2026

As we get closer to spring we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of two special deliveries 💚
One of these will be offered to the public as we have kept many half siblings. Oops...we're not good at letting go 😬😂

If you have always wanted a Connemara halfbred (Connemara/TB to be exact on this upcoming arrival), but found them to be a bit out of the budget....now is your chance! We're happy to offer terms from birth all the way through weaning at 6 months of age and a little beyond. Act now to plan your 2026 Christmas present 🎁

This foal is by Irish imported Connemara stallion, Menlo Poetic Lad (Blakehill Sparrow-Cnocban Casanova X Kinamara Poetic Lady-Poetic Kelly). Offering heavy bone, athleticism, and a beyond sweet temperament.

Out of our main Thoroughbred mare, Farasi. She may not be the tallest TB at only 15.2h, but she is about just as wide! Farasi has been with us since a yearling and she has one of the most unflappable temperaments, fantastic feet, and lovely conformation.

Foal will be ACPS registered and come with a lifetime USEF #
HWSD negative
EMH 15.1-15.2h
Bay or Buckskin 😍

It looks like the craziness of the weekend is finally behind us. The snow has slowed and the sun is trying to come out, kind of. Though cold with a current real feel of 1 degree 🥶

I feel the need to preface this with "I am not a tall woman, I stand all of 5'1", but....the snow we are getting currently is insanely deep!

You become accustomed to the crazy snowstorms when living in northern Michigan and most are a mild inconvenience at best. Snow that many would panic about is just another day in paradise here 🙄
This one is a downright pain in the butt! The drifts behind our main mare barn are well up to my chest and almost impassable. I felt like i was digging through a wall, sled in tow with the rope wrapped around my waist. My main pathway to the stallion barn is not passable with a drift between the barns that is all of 5ft tall. So for now we take the long path around the barns until I have a chance to shovel. I prefer not risking getting myself stuck in a drift 😂

Round bales are getting buried faster than the horses can eat. All of the weather alerts were advising no travel at all, which is not an option when you have livestock. As far as the horses...the "adults" are not amused and spending a lot of time in the shelters. The kids, which I deem anyone 3yrs and under, are having a blast! This is the best snow day for them and many are exploring snow drifts and honing their mountaineering skills as a team 🧗 I am slightly concerned that we are going to have to organize a rescue team when they get in over their heads. Figuratively and literally😆

The dreaded, Emergency vet bill, has struck again!

It's no surprise that there will be vet bills with farm animals, well all animals really, but it's always extra stressful when there is more than one at once. While we focus on the ones that need us the most, we would like to offer a few that we had intended to hold back for the program to new pastures. As always, they are offered only to the best fit.

Though we only have a few spots to offer for breedings to our boys (live cover on farm only) we are happy to chat about your goals and of we have the right stallion for your mare ❤️

Our hope, if the weather is as nice as predicted this weekend, is to get new pictures of the ones offered to new pastures

It can be difficult to keep good help around a farm...long hours, cold (-18 here this morning),wind, rain, snow, oppressive heat, flies, and very very late nights. No matter how tired or sick you are, the horses must be taken care of.

We have one employee who never quits. Though may take the occasional nap on the clock or need a helping hand through the deep snow. Gowan is quite serious about his farm job, even taking on extra work as a hay inspector and midwife

As we mull over the idea of refocusing our program a bit, I wanted to guage interest in standing some of our current and potential future stallions to the public.

Not all of these boys are standing currently and we definitely cannot accommodate many mares for the 2026 season (we have two 2026 spots open), but would like to see what could be for 2027 and beyond. Currently we offer live cover only, though if enough interest is there we are happy to start diving into collecting and offering shipped cooled.

A short list of the mature stallions we have now (not all offered publicly, but potential for their sons) and a few of the youngsters we are growing out and may offer in the future if they meet our expectations for a stallion.

Note that we will not be offering all of these boys! This is to guage interest in the bloodlines, size, color, conformation, etc.
