West
View Farm was established in 1994 in the beautiful Applegate Valley of
Southern Oregon.Our goal was to develop the ultimate performance horse in Dressage, Jumping and Eventing. In our pursuit it was apparent these disciplines were not restricted to the typical warmbloods that have dominated the sport for many years.
Many
of the more common breeds have shown the necessary athletic ability,
stamina and temperament required to excel. In more recent years, this is
displayed with the entry of the Quarter Horse, the Morgan, the Paint
Horse and several other more commonly known “American” breeds into the
Dressage and Eventing sport. These breeds are becoming more and more
recognized by USDF, USEF as worthy competitors. Although West View has been involved with many of these "American" breeds recognizing they are strong competitors with a winning future, It does have preference for the Warmblood, particularly the Swedish Warmblood. Its long history in the competitive arena, Its size, rideability, conformation, trainability, athleticism, and work ethic make it a farm favorite.
More information on the Swedish Breed can be obtained from the Swedish Warmblood Association Of North America (SWANA) on WWW.SWANA.ORG.
