SAKURA HILL FARM, in Gainesville, Florida, sprang from the dreams of two girls one generation apart. As a child in Colorado where she rode hunters, jumpers, and Arabians, Michele, the mother, dreamed of owning a stud farm. She returned to her riding roots as an adult, riding in Eventing until her career as a United Nations Interpreter encroached upon her time. The daughter, Monica, competed with her ponies and horses up through the Big Eq Division, including the Medal Finals and USET Talent Search East Coast Finals at the age of 14. Her dream of breeding Warmbloods remained a constant. And the father, Makoto, provides the practical know-how and serenity necessary to ensure the smooth running of Sakura Hill Farm.
And now the dream comes true ... SAKURA HILL FARM - where QUALITY meets METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL!
QUALITY because we have a clear idea of the kinds of horses that we want to produce- champions in the jumper and equitation divisions- and what it takes to produce them Our mares have been carefully chosen with the advice and assistance of such renowned breeders as Morningside Stud in Ireland, VDL Stud in Holland, Iron Spring Farm and Majestic Gaits in the United States and Prima Equestrian in Canada. We are justifiably proud of our mares. Stallion choices are made with careful consideration of how to complement each mare individually to produce the best foal.
METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL because we intend to remain small, with only a few foals born each year. Our proximity to the University of Florida Veterinarian School guarantees readily available nutrition and horse husbandry advice and prompt top-notch medical attention on a regular basis. Access to top trainers in the Ocala and Wellington areas will ensure that our horses are started and developed correctly.
