Southside Valley Stud
I'm Sarah Winters, a 27 yo Irish girl, owner of the new founded farm Southside Valley, which is dedicated to breeding top quality competition horses, which are not only high quality in talent, but most of all we emphasize on breeding horses with top character who will be sport partner and friend of their owners. The farm has been my dream since I was just a little child who went crazy whenever I saw a horse somewhere. I never thought I could make this dream come true, but luck was on my side when won the lottery at a very young age. I didn't hesitate one second and went looking for farms that are for sale and would suit my needs. That's when I found a lovely large estate not far away from my hometown Drogheda in Ireland. It literally is in the middle of nowhere and perfect for my plans.
There is still so much to do, most of the stalls on the property are still empty, but I will take my time to search for the horses I want to breed and compete with. Also I will need some help sooner or later, because the work on this large property and the hores gets overwhelming. But for now, here is one first impression of the main barn with mostly empty stalls and my lovely Trakehner Tobiano mare Arya.

Today our two stallions November Rain SSV and Rigoletto SSV enjoyed a day off training in the pastures. Who says two stallions can't be friends? The two love to be together... as long as there is no mare around

Our stables are growing and my old friend Giuliana came from Dublin to work on the farm. She is a fantastic rider and will be presenting the horses at competitions with me. We have bought two new Trakehners and today we welcomed Argonaut to his new home. Argo is a seal brown stallion and is specialized in dressage. In the background you can spot our new bay mare Alcantara on the pasture.

Yesterday we trained with our new arrival Alcantara SSV for the first time. She'll be competing in eventing very soon and today's training showed she's very easy to handle and extremely eager to please her rider. She was a darling in the jump course and we can't wait to show her in a competition.

We have acquired two new Trakehner horses for our stud. There is the Splash White Chestnut stallion Foreign Affair SSV and the charming Liver Chestnut mare Maizauber SSV. We bought them both at an auction we vistited mainly to try and buy Foreign Affair, but then we saw this beautiful little mare and we just had to buy her, too. Here they are the day they arrived at our facilities.
