Weirsdale, Florida
aisling /ˈæʃ.lɪŋ/ noun, Irish. A dream, or a vision. The thing you keep working toward.
A small family farm in Weirsdale, Florida, just southeast of Ocala. KWPN warmbloods and Connemara crosses, planned one pairing at a time, raised out on grass in a barn filled with chaos, nonsense, and love.
The Farm
Aisling Farms sits in Weirsdale, on the quiet end of Marion County, close enough to Ocala to be in the middle of everything and far enough out to be peaceful. It is a family farm in the truest sense: everybody here has a job, including the kids, and most days end with somebody covered in shavings.
Most of what we breed is KWPN, the Dutch sport horse studbook, and we have brought along Connemara crosses too, which are hard to beat for an eventing rider who wants blood and sense in the same package. Every pairing starts with the mare, her damline, and what she actually produces, then works toward stallions with real records in the ring. The goal is not volume. It is a handful of horses a year that are correct, sound, and nice to be around.
Our young horses grow up outside, in a herd, on Florida grass. They get handled from the first day, hauled before they are asked to work, and taught that people are the easy part. By the time they are backed, almost nothing about the process is new to them.
Our Program
KWPN mares matched to proven dressage, jumping, and eventing stallions, plus Connemara crosses when the cross calls for it. Every pairing is planned around temperament and rideability first, then movement and scope.
Atlas, our buckskin colt, placed fifth in the nation at the 2025 KWPN jumper foal inspections, which is a fair measure of whether the planning is working.
Weanlings through three year olds live out together on grass, with room to move and other horses to learn manners from. Daily handling, feet, clipping, trailering, and vet work all become routine long before anyone sits on them.
Quiet, correct starts under saddle, with no rush and no shortcuts. Young horses leave here forward, honest, and easy in their bodies, ready to go on toward dressage, the jumper ring, or an eventing career.
For Sale
We sell a small number of horses each year, and we would rather place one well than place it fast. Movement video lives on our YouTube channel, and a full history is there for anyone seriously looking. Come try them in person.
A dressage broodmare with top tier FEI bloodlines and a gold standard temperament to match. Wenke is a true lady: flawless barn manners, easy to handle, and about as stress free as a broodmare gets.
She is exceptionally easy to get in foal, with both fresh and frozen semen, and she is an outstanding, attentive mother who consistently produces elite quality. Her 2025 colt is Nico, listed right beside her here, and he was awarded premium at his KWPN inspection. Confirmed in foal to Solière for 2027, so she comes as a two in one package for a serious breeding program.
A premium KWPN yearling gelding with world class FEI dressage genetics and a heart of gold, out of our mare Wenke, listed right beside him here. He has the sensitive, highly intelligent nature of a real athlete wrapped around a genuinely sweet temperament, and he thrives on bonding with his person.
Nico is well handled, loads, ties, and is completely unbothered by farm life, which here means small kids, a great many cats, and assorted animals going past at speed. Uphill frame, big ground covering movement, and good bone. He has the mechanics and the heart to go a long way for an ambitious rider.
Our approach
We breed for the brain first.
Movement and jump are worth nothing in a horse nobody wants to ride. A good mind is the one thing you cannot train in later, so it is the first thing we look for in a mare, in a stallion, and in every foal that hits the ground here.
