A working farm first.

Neymoo Farms is a family-owned and operated dairy farm. Day-to-day farm life shapes everything here, from early starts and practical facilities to a down-to-earth way of doing things.

The equestrian side of the farm has grown alongside the dairy operation. It gives horses room to live, work and recover on open, well-kept ground, with people around them every day.

Dana Sutton.

Leads the horse side of Neymoo Farms

Dana is an experienced rider who has worked with and produced a number of thoroughbreds. She leads the equestrian side of the farm and looks after the day-to-day care of every horse on the property.

Her approach is hands-on and patient. Each horse is treated as an individual, with time taken to understand what it needs before deciding what comes next.

Life on the farm

Every day, out here.

Evening rides down the farm track, horses waiting at the gate, and an arena that gets used well after the sun goes down.
