My Professional Dog Training Education

A Lifelong Dream Comes True

Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, I was a city kid who dreamed of owning a farm. I spent my summers at my grandparents' Kentucky homestead, dreaming of the day I would have goats, chickens, and other farm animals of my own. 


Little did I know that marrying Steve, a Maryland native and career Navy man, would put my dream on hold for many years. But during that time, we homeschooled our kids, traveled with our horses and pets across the country, and lived in various places like Florida, Maryland, California, Virginia, and even Guam.


Although we owned a small farm in Virginia for a while, we eventually had to let go of that dream when duty took us back to California. But in 2015, after Steve retired from the Navy, we made California our permanent home and finally bought our farm. And that's when Prancing Pony Farm came to life.

My Passion is Helping Others Achieve Their Dog & Goat Related Dreams

Many of my clients tell me that owning a farm has been a lifelong dream of theirs. As someone who wanted to own a farm since I was a little girl but didn't achieve that dream until I was fifty, I understand how much that dream means to my clients. Nothing is more exciting than seeing that dream finally come true! 


That is why I have a passion for helping people who are new to goat or Maremma ownership or who are finally achieving their dream of owning a farm. I remember thinking I would never see my dream become a reality. And while it did take a lot longer than I expected it to, it was so worth the wait!


I am pleased to share what I have learned through my years of experience with you. And even more, it's my honor to help you achieve your dreams, whether that means a self-sufficient farm or just owning a few pet goats or a companion Maremma. I am here to help you and to cheer you on as your dream becomes a reality. Welcome to Prancing Pony Farm!
We are located in Lemoore, California.

​"Above the arch there was a lamp, and beneath it swung a large signboard: a fat white pony reared up on its hind legs. Over the door was painted in white letters:
​The Prancing Pony by Barliman Butterbur."
~ from The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings.
