About Us

    Jim and I began Trilogy Farm as a horse training and breeding, raising, selling enterprise in 1985. We successfully trained horses for our clients and bred and raised purebred and then part-bred Arabians of our own, while our 4 boys participated in running of  the farm. 

 

In 2018, we re-directed our efforts to boarding and lessons, but wanted to do more for our community.   We realized that our miniature donkeys & gentle horses,  plus a suitable environment,  were a perfect fit for Equine Assisted Therapy. 

 

In 2021, "Mane Encounters" was born, our Equine Assisted Learning & Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program for Veterans, their families and anyone in need of our services.   Scroll down for more information.   Anyone interested in participating in our program can contact us below.  

                

Mini Donkeys

In 2018 we expanded & "downsized" our equine endeavors to include raising & training registered & non-registered Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys for pleasure, show & therapy.

   These adorable little equines are friendly, gentle, playful & delightful. They are wonderful companions & hard workers when trained to drive, carry small passengers or packs or compete over obstacles.  Further, they are perfect for Equine Assisted Therapy and Psychotherapy, especially for children or adults that prefer their small size to that of a full grown horse. 

Foundation Jennets

Meet our miniature "girls."  Kristina & Jewel(foal). Mother & daughter arrived at Trilogy in July, 2018. They are our foundation breeding stock.

Pearl, Ridden by Gannon, May 10, 2021.jpg

Meet  Pearl.  She is a 16yr old Kentucky Mountain Horse.  She is very gentle, well-trained, and destined to be Mary's mount in the Wyoming County Mounted Division in 2022.  

Pearl is also used in our lesson program and in Mane Encounters.  She is well suited for therapy  because of her sweet disposition & sensitive nature.

Sundancer, below, is our Haflinger cross mare that we bought in 2019.  She is now 4 years old.  Gannon  rides & trains her.  She is also in our Mane Encounters program.

With Equine Assisted Learning, we use horses & miniature donkeys to help people learn techniques for dealing with stress.  We assist them in developing healthy coping behaviors & empowering life skills.

 

Horses & donkeys help us gain self-confidence,  self-awareness  & provide a safe,  non judgmental atmosphere. 

 Equine Assisted Psychotherapy utilizes a licensed mental health counselor in an equine psychotherapy session.  These sessions go a step further & help identify unhelpful subconscious issues & develop strategies to work through them.

Pie, yearling, Sept 1, 2021,R_edited_edited.jpg

Slippery Pot Pie

This is "Pie,"  a yearling jack we were fortunate to purchase in 2021 form Copper Star Farm in PA.  He is our new herd sire.

His pedigree compliments our jennys' lineage, 

With a friendly, gentle disposition, great confirmation and gait, he is destined to produce lovely foals from our jennys. 

He is presently in training for driving and is part of our Mane Encounters Program.

He will be with us at Equifest, Mar 19,20, at the Erie Co. Fair Grounds, where  we will be promoting Mane Encounters.

Horsepower & More!

In addition to our passion for living horsepower, we are also passionate  about our environment!

We participate in the new NYS program, Community Solar.  This program allows anyone who pays an electric bill to receive 10% off their electric usage every month for 20 years when they sign up online with a solar farm.  It is a great program, good for the environment and substantial savings on the enrolled electric bills.

 

 Common Energy administers this NYS program and I am one of their independent consultants.   For more information, or to enroll and take advantage of the savings while helping clean our air, please feel free to call me.
