Southern Dream Farm

A big congratulations is definitely in order to Gillian Frankenfield, and family on their purchase of Kentucky Colonel aka “Tucker”! It was a long wait, but we couldn’t be happier with this sweet boy for Gillian! These two are ready to hit the show ring together, and we can’t wait to see their successes and journey ahead!♥️🩶

A special thank you to Georgia and Jimmy Morrison, of Meadow Dream Farm Riding Academy for helping guide this duo together, and a seamless transition! Thank you!
