We are a family-oriented, kid-friendly horse farm located in the Black Fox community of Bradley County near the city of Cleveland in SE Tennessee. We breed, raise, train and show Ponies Of The Americas. We would love to have you come see our Ponies Of The Americas and our farm. Until then, we have developed this site to allow you to visit us from your computer.
Our goal is to make our site not only comprehensive, but interesting. From our Ponies Of The Americas stallions and their foals, to our students and the fun that they have enjoying lessons, working around the farm, as well as showing their Ponies Of The Americas with their friends at Tennessee Ponies Of The Americas Club and 4-H shows, there will be lots to see - so choose a link above and let’s get started!
HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME!
We are happy to announce that our summer lesson program at Black Fox Riding Academy is off to a great start this year. Our new instructor, Kayla, is doing a great job. Did everyone see her picture in the Cleveland paper? She made the front page! She was giving a lesson to student, Meghan Able. Rachel Bryant, one of our show students, and her pony, Shiloh, were also in there. Great job, guys! Way to promote the fun of riding horses and Ponies Of The Americas!
Be looking for announcements of our new summer clinics and one-day local shows for Black Fox Riding Academy's lesson students! They are going to be lots of fun! We are also scheduling a week-long summer camp for girls ages 13 & Up. For our craft, we will be making slinkys for the horses! Possibly leg wraps, too. Call for registration info or you can add your name to our mailing list by clicking on the link at the top of the page. We'll keep you updated about all our upcoming events! You don't want to miss out on all the fun this summer!
Emily will be focusing on training and showing our young prospects this year, as well as a few outside horses, while our new instructor , Kayla, will be handling most of the lessons for our Riding Academy.
Emily will also be coaching our 4-H Show students, Rachel and Katie. Look for Rachel on Shiloh and Zip and Katie on Imp and Chuck at all the area, Regional, and State 4-H shows. Good luck to both these girls!
They are working hard and their dedication will pay off!
NEWSFLASH!!!! Katie and Rachel were very competitive at the 4-H Regional in Harriman, June 4 & 5. Katie placed first in Western Halter pony geldings with Imp and 7th in Ranch Horse Western Pleasure. This was Katie's first show!! Great job, Katie! We can't wait to see what you will accomplish at State.
Rachel placed First in English Halter pony geldings with Zip, also First in Hunt Seat EQ w/t, First in Jr. Showmanship, and 5th in Hunter Under Saddle w/t. This was Rachel's first big show, too. What a great job she did!! Congratulations to both girls!!
Emily has openings for more 4-H students and also students to show POA Shows, which is where the real fun is! No horse of your own? No problem! We can lease you a show horse and all the tack that you need.
At the POA breed shows, look for Emily and
Dial Me A Flirty Blanket in the JPFC classes. Flirt won Reserve Grand at Halter at her first show this season, so you know she's pretty. Now you'll see she rides, too. Emily and
H Knight Star in the 19 & Over classes and Emily and
No Sign Of Indians in yearling halter, longeline, and in-hand trail. Nolie is so quiet, you would think he was much older. We expect great things from this guy. Nolie just won 5th in trail at the Eastern Classic in Indiana Memorial weekend!
We will also have a couple of weanlings to show in the fall shows. Both of our foals are here and just beautiful! Both are fillies, too. Sunni's filly is a gorgeous (and personable) palomino filly by MD's Gotta Boo. Her name is Deja Boo. The other filly is a bay near leopard by Definitely A Dream To Sea and out of the small mare, Mrs. Beasley, purchased from the Poczobuts. Her name will be Sea To Believe. We call her Sobe. She's a little firecracker and keeps her mom on her toes trying to keep up with her!
It will be a busy year, with lots of fun ahead! Be safe and we'll see you at the shows!
May God Bless!
