2008 AMHA WORLD SHOW

SF Mahogany Bay with his owner/trainer Judy Stadtlander won the  AOTE  (Amateur Owned Trained and Exhibited)  Country Pleasure Driving!!

What a high this was, a realization of a long time dream  to breed a World Champion driving horse.

 We have been in the miniature horse business since 1980. We have been slowly building our collection of exceptional AMHA miniature horses. We are just about where we want to be, with a small herd of fine, show quality broodmares, and a few top notch breeding stallions.

Who are we? Jody Hoch, and Peter and Judy Stadtlander. Together, we own our 70+ acre farm where we raise Christmas trees in addition to the horses. The arrangement works very well for us, Judy and Jody are the horse breeders/showers, and Peter is the Christmas tree person and Trap Shooter. When Judy and Jody go to shows, Peter is the caretaker of the horses, when Peter goes to shoot, Jody and Judy are there to care for the animals. From Thanksgiving to Christmas we are all at home  selling Christmas trees on the weekends.
