Breeding and importing European sporthorses since 1980.

August Moon Farm – Show Jumpers, Hunters, Eventing & Dressage Prospects. We are located in Southern Oregon, and our horses are raised in a natural environment out on pasture year round. Our broodmares are a mix of Oldenburg, Hanoverian and Holsteiner, with a concentration on successful jumping pedigrees. We select world-class stallions and we breed sensitive, medium types as prospects for the hunter and jumper classes with an occasional eventer being available.

We do not raise "hot house flowers." They are raised in the fields with other horses. Following imprinting of the foals at birth, we turn the mothers and their babies back out into their mare band. The young colts are not weaned from their moms until the spring of their yearling year, and the fillies stay in the mare herd and their moms take care of the weaning of the girls themselves. We believe that horses raised as close to the way Nature intended make the best, well-adjusted horses for human companions later in life. We "gentle" ours as four year olds, with round pen work in a kind and positive way. Then, we introduce them to a saddle and bridle assuming they are ready to happily accept this work. . .we never rush this part, as we believe a foundation properly laid will last the life of the horse.

So if you are looking for a new equine companion for use as a hunter, jumper or eventing prospect, or simply want a dependable riding horse to have fun on, consider the horses of August Moon Farm–pasture raised to be physically sound, and started with gentle kindness to be mentally accepting of their future with humans. Contact us and we will be happy to talk with you about our approach. Maybe we have your next horse. If not, we won't waste your time trying to talk you into something not right for you.
