About Us

Stefanie and Jeff

Stefanie is a lifelong equestrian, spending her early years competing her off the track thoroughbred mare in the jumper ring. After purchasing a dressage bred KWPN foal, Finest Hour, she turned her focus to dressage and has never looked back. In 2011, Stefanie was accepted into a working student position with USDF Gold medalist Gina Duran of Topline Training. Each summer, for 10 years, she managed the care of Gina’s training horses. This opportunity reinforced and strengthened Stefanie’s knowledge of training, riding, young horse handling, and the high quality care and nutritional needs of our equine athletes. Stefanie has sat on the Board of Directors for the United States Sporthorse Breeders Association (USSHBA) and is committed to supporting and promoting quality sporthorses bred in the USA. Stefanie strives to continuously better herself as both a rider and a breeder. She trains and clinics with some of the best in the industry, is an active dressage competitor, and works closely with top sporthorse breeding professionals.

Jeff is the man behind the scenes of Finest Hour Farms. There is nothing this man can not build or can not fix, and not a single horse that does not love his steady and caring demeanor. He took our 60 acre blank slate in Kentucky and turned it into a beautiful, full functioning equine facility. Next, comes our California location, a task Jeff is excited to take on.
