What’s New at Echo Lane Farms
2009 - 2010
We showed extensively again in 2009 on the EMAA circuit. Echo Lane Farm horses did extremely well as shown by the Ribbons below thanks to the training and showing help from Joslyn Kane and a lot of help from my friends Sara Williams, Anna Lezinski and Roni Templeton. Echsteam IA was high point gelding in open, owner, and Junior classes, Echsecutive command was Reserve high point in fillies/colts yearling and under, and Molly Maquire received High Point for the year in Junior Western Horse. Some other horses bred by Echo Lane Farms did very well, Frangelecho IA did very well in both dressage and hunter pleasure classes his first year ever shown with his new owner. And our “walk” amateur did very well her first year in the show ring. All in all it was another fun year on the EMAA circuit and we hope to continue that in the next year.
On a sad note, we lost one of the Arabian Horse’s greatest enthusiast’s this year, Jim Andreson of Selket Arabians. He was a great mentor to this farm as well as a great friend and he is sorely missed by myself. In his last note to me he asked that we “hit that home run” for him and we will continue to try to do that by producing quality Arabian horses who can compete in the showring, produce in the breeding shed and be a family’s best friend.
2010 promises to be a great year. We have three foals expected this year. Two are out of our foundation Khamal daughters, one by Ali Ghazaan (a Marwan son) and the other by Cupid’s Faded Gold (double perlino paint). The other is out of a client’s mare with SoHo Carol lines who is bred to Selket Louichiano. Foaling starts in March and we will put pictures on the presently outdated Nursery page as they arrive.
We will continue to support the Arabian Horse Community Show Circuit this year at EMAA. Echo Lane Farms offers a lesson program for horse and rider run by Joslyn Kane who has been riding/showing for most of her young 26 years. She is an accomplished rider in all disciplines and has brought home many ribbons on the A Circuit. Give us a call to get involved.

Echo Lane Farms is becoming the home for amateurs who want to help other amateurs. We do have some stalls available. If you are looking for a new place for your horse to call home, come check out our friendly, affordable, family atmosphere. If you don’t have a horse but have always wanted to learn about horses, come on out. We have had many adult clients, as well as youth, who always had that crazy kid dream of being around horses and possibly owning one see that dream realized here at Echo Lane Farms.
Don’t forget that Echo Lane Farms does rent out its 150 x 60 indoor arena during the winter months for $15/horse & rider. So don’t let your show horse get rusty just because the weather gets bad.
