40 years in Northwest Marion County

“horsefeathers!” is situated on 120 acres of land formerly owned by the Plumley family. The Plumleys used this land in their cattle operation. It was purchased in 2014, so these are the first horses on the land. A barn was built and paddocks were fenced. Surrounding the horse property is 430 acres used for raising Wagyu cattle.

Previously, “horsefeathers!” was located on a different farm in Northwest Marion County. At that location, Mary Jane Hunt operated a boutique style nursery for Thoroughbred mares and foals for more than 35 years.

Mary Jane and her husband Bernie Little are committed to the well-being of all the animals in their care. The focus of “horsefeathers!” is to provide a comfortable retirement for the Thoroughbred mares and teaser ponies that were a part of the former nursery operation. The horse population has a few riding horses and a young off-track Thoroughbred that is being retrained for a second career.

11 years in Northwest Marion County

Laughing Horse Farm is situated on 30 acres of land in Marion County and is owned and operated by Linda Bammann and Paul Terzani.

Purchased in 2007 from a quarter horse breeder, Laughing Horse Farm land is used to raise and compete event horses, and the local business has evolved over time to now privately train a handful of show jumpers, which are trained and sold with a partner.

Laughing Horse Farm has a quarantine license that allows Linda to quarantine mares that she imports. Over the last 11 years, approximately 15 horses have come through the barn.

Linda and her husband take pride in the small and private operation of quality horses they’ve built and they plan to maintain the property for the foreseeable future.
