With all the fields open and spring upon us Hidden

Meadows Farm is at full capacity with the addition of

new boarders to our barn family!

This month we welcome Meredith Milligan and her

horse Afton, Carolyn Sidivy and her horse JR, Steve

Lewis and his horse Zoink and Anne Biasiolli and her

two horses Ape and Dex to the farm!

Meredith and Afton have been together for about 2

years and he loves to jump, go on trail rides, flirt with

the mares and be cute! Afton is a 16 year old

Saddlebred, Quarter Horse cross. They have

competed in combined training, and just started to

compete eventing world last fall when they competed

in their first horse trial! We look forward to seeing

what Meredith and Afton will accomplish this year in

the show ring!

Carolyn has owned Jr. for 11 years and he loves

attention...AND FOOD! He is a Missouri Fox

Trotter and a really sweet big boy standing at

16.2. Carolyn has ridden since she was 10 and her

three boys, Austin 17, Cameron 15, and Ryan 14 all

ride. Her husband, David, is still learning to

ride though he grew up with his Grandfathers race

horses and track life.

Anne boards all three of her homebreds, Imp, Ape

and Dex at Hidden Meadows and are new to

Richmond. With a long term goal of breeding,

training and competing her own horse these guys are

just hitting riding age and plan to start work this

spring, with hopes of showing and fox hunting later in

the year. Growing up a hunter / jumper rider Anne's

done a bit of everything from working on racing and

hunting farms in Ireland to wrangling on dude ranches

out west and convincing non horsey friends to join

her in ride and ties, hopefully the youngsters will be

as willing to try different things!

Steve Lewis and his 17 year old OTTB ,Zoink, have

returned to Hidden Meadows and we couldn’t be

more thrilled! Zoink is Steve’s daughter’s retired

show horse that she competed regularly in the

hunter circuit. Zoink mostly enjoys just hanging out

and eating treats, he and Steve can be seen hacking

around the ring or in the fields for fun. Steve is

working towards being able to show in the hunter

ring as well as some of the local shows so he can say

“HE DID IT!”

We welcome all of our new boarders to the farm and

look forward to getting to know everyone better!
