Too much thinking is  the enemy of  instinct , and without instinct riders are nothing.

A few of Fortitude Farm’s students.

Fortitude Farm

Sport horses for a lifetime of fulfillment.

Fortitude Farm is dedicated to the breeding of quality sport horses with just a hint of uniqueness may it be found in color, breeding, or temperament.  Each foal is formulated to be both a competitive riding horse as well as a special companion.  We've found that a true sport horse does not always have a designer label. 

With that in mind we've bred for versatility, talent, brilliance, and character.  Fortitude Farm is a family owned and operated breeding facility in Selma, Indiana.

One of the earliest religious disappointments in a young girl’s life devolves upon her unanswered prayer for a horse.

 

Phyllis Theroux

The rhythm of the ride carried them on and on, and she knew that the horse was as eager as she, as much in love with the speed and air and freedom.

 

Georgess McHargue

There is no secret  so close as that between a rider and his horse.

 

Robert Smith Surtees

There  is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.
