Collecting Gaits Farm
of Atlanta (Milton), Georgia USA
As published in November 2011 by Robert Meyers, Bygone Treasures and Timeless Beauties, BARNS OF OLD MILTON COUNTY, he says, “The long willow lined drive that winds between rows of immaculate black four-board fencing gives a sense of tranquility and quality. Traveling through two sets of security gates past a vast sloping apple- green pasture, one sees In the distance animpressive brick building that could be an outsized mansion. As one enters a large courtyard it is clear that this is an extraordinary place.”
“And so it is that Collecting Gaits Farm is quite unlike any other private horse facility in the region. Professional and accomplished amateur riders enjoy world class facilities as they prepare for national and international dressage competitions.Even the name is meaningful. Collecting refers to” collection,” the special movement and positioning of a horse in dressage competition. Gaits refers to the three dressage gaits, walk, trot and canter. Collecting Gaits Farm is celebrated for its sponsorship of some of the most important national championship competitions, such as the Collecting Gaits/US Equestrian Federation Festival of Champions and the National Grand Prix Dressage Championships and Olympic Trials.”
Designed, Built with Talent, & Expertise Jeff toured all the fine sport horse farms in Europe he came across to create his dream farm developed for the best quality care and efficiency for their horses.
“American Dressage owes its progress to generous and selfless supporters of our sport, and in fact we cannot function without donors like the Fuquas who never refuse to help us out, whether in good times or bad. Lots of people own and operate beautiful farms, but only the very few go beyond their own ambitions to be part of the big picture and risk their own investment of time, energy and financial input on a game that is ever changing. It tales a lot of faith in and love for the sport to give selflessly year after year, and the dressage community of the United States owe a lot of gratitude to Jeff, Shereen and their Collecting Gaits Farm.”
