Waterford Millford is a farm for all times. Family owned and managed by generations of horsemen dedicated to tradition and innovation that has created champions. To make a champion takes time. At our farm we nurture your investment. The balance of tradition and innovation, the expertise and professionalism of our staff come together on our exceptional land in a farm that allows your investment to flourish.
The industry is at a level we haven't seen in our forty years raising horses. Every client is a little desperate or at least seeing the industry in a new way and seeing their current horses in a new way.
At Waterford Millford horses are not a sideline, and we have had to make the farm pay for itself every year. While others give lip sevice to tightening their belts or watching their pennies, we were always cautioned to be penny wise by Dr. Smiser West, who was renowned for his frugality. Even the day after we had sold a million dollar yearling he could be heard chiding someone for some perceived wasteful practice. At the time it might have even seem excessive, but now years later we have seen many other farms close their gates and the wisdom of his conservitive ways is apparent. Dr. West's years in agricultural pursuits, (he was running a dairy while attending high school, and later developed a much admired Angus herd), taught him that throwing money at an animal was no substitute for conciencious management.
While other farms are unfortunately leveraged to the hilt, we are in the eviable position of being mortage free. And this along with the lessons we have learned about what is important to raising a good horse allow us to provide your horse with the best of care at a day rate that won't break you.
Our industry is based on hope in the future, respect for the past with a focus on the present that will allow your investment to flourish.
