Courtenay Baber
Farm Owner
I grew up in Central Virginia on a horse farm. I began showing horses as a child with my mother and sister. My parents were active supports of the horses. We also had other farm animals; cows and pigs for 4-H projects. My family was active members of Deep Run Hunt CLub. As a junior I showed in Junior Jumpers at rated shows in Virginia including the Roanoke Valley and Middleburg National as well as others. After returning from college my mother and I continued showing and started a small breeding operation of Dutch Warmbloods and Oldenburgs. This continued to grow and it was nice to the young horses we raised grow and mature. My sister was operating Richmond Saddlery and I was managing the mobile unit and showing my horses in adult amateur divisions. When my mother died in 2009 I ran the farm with my father we operated a small boarding facility. After his death, I decided it was time to move and began Gray Horse Farm. It is my hope this farm will be a place to bring out the best in everyone.
