Equivale specializes in breeding top quality palomino colored warmbloods. All of our horses have 100% Dutch, Oldenburg, Hanoverian and German bloodlines. Bloodlines from Röemer, Londonderry, Weltmyer, Souvenier, Donaufürst, Best of Luck and many others. Our foundation stud who produced many of these palomino colored warmbloods is Blue Eyed Dream GF. Imported in 2004 Dream quickly produced top quality offspring here at Equivale and all over the country. Our ultimate goal was to produce a matching 4 in-hand driving team of dark golden palomino colored warmbloods to compete in show jumping, hunters, combined driving, events and dressage. We believe in training all of our horses in dressage and educate them to drive a carriage as well so that they can be versatile. Located in central Florida, our facility has an air conditioned indoor arena with ProTek footing, an outdoor dressage riding arena with rubber footing and mirrors, a grass dressage driving arena, 29 irrigated pastures and a 30 stall barn. As a USEF licensed dressage judge and USDF Gold medal rider and certified instructor, Jean Kaplan Thornton has the experienced eye necessary to successfully produce palomino warmbloods with the conformation, & movement required of a high level sport horses. Palomino warmblood foals out of our top quality German Warmblood mares selected specifically for their conformation, movement, temperament and pedigree are frequently available for sale.

At Bailey Ranch Breeders we focus on wonderful movement and trainable minds registered KWPN.

Warmblood breeder for 44 years. Owner of large Oldenburg (GOV) and Hanoverian breeding farm in eastern PA. Young, well started dressage horses and occasional hunter prospects always available. USDF Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Ruby and Platinum Breeder of Distinction. I have produced 39 Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates, and 3 State Premium Mares for the Hanoverian Society, and 32 Special Premium mares and 17 Verbands Premium mares, 191 Premium Foals and 48 Foals of Distinction for the German Oldenburg Verband. I have produced 9 licensed stallions, including the fully licensed and approved stallion named Shakespeare RSF (winner of the 2009 70 day stallion test), a licensed stallion named Somer Hit, 3 licensed stallions in 2012 (one from the first foal crop of Shakespeare RSF- Shotgun, also Dheputy and a stallion in Germany), Fhitzgerald and Sir James (both imported from Germany and successfully completed the 70 day stallion test here in the US), another licensed stallion in 2014 named Shavane- the second licensed Shakespeare RSF son who is out of homebred EM Rheporter (Royal Prince/Weltmeyer). In 2015 another Shakespeare son was licensed- Shortstop, who was Grand Champion at a USDF breed show in 2015. I have bred four top 6 FEI Young Horse National Champions and multiple HOY winners in hand and in dressage, and four winners of the Young Hunters Under Saddle at Hunter Devon. We stand Shakespeare RSF (Sandro Hit/Arrian). I estimate I have bred about 450 foals to date, and I also sell young stock and up to 20-25 riding horses a year. Some of my horses are fourth and fifth generation from my own breeding program. I started out in hunters and jumpers and then rode dressage up to the PSG level, not competing much due to family and farm commitments. I finally received her USDF Bronze and Silver medals in 2018. My homebred Hanoverians and Oldenburgs have been top ten in national dressage rankings and have won many under saddle and in hand classes at many shows such as Dressage at Devon (Grand Champion 2011 and Reserve Grand Champion 2021), NEDA (Grand Champion 2021 and 2022) and the hunter show at Devon. I have produced numerous champions and reserve champions at many in hand shows and has been in the top 8 ranking for USDF Dressage Breeder of the Year since 2013, leading that category in 2020 and 2022. I was the 2016 and 2018 USDF Dressage Sport Horse Breeding Breeder of the Year and have been in the top 16 since 2013. I have been the USEF Dressage Breeder of the Year every year 2014-2023 and was 2nd in that category from 2011-2013 and in 2022. In 2021 I was also the USEF Dressage Breeding Breeder of the Year and was in the top 4 for the USEF Dressage Sport Horse Breeder of the Year 2013- 2022. My greatest pleasure has been breeding suitable horses for the amateur market in the disciplines of dressage or hunter with an emphasis on rideability and movement.
