About The Stables
Welcome to the Age of Legends ranch! The Age of Legends is located on Ocracoke Island of North Carolina USA, about 25 minutes away from the Ocracoke village. It is unique in that the only way to reach Ocracoke island is by one of three ferries, private boat, or private plane. The farm sits on 30 acres and features four stables that hold a total of 75 horses. Surrounding the barns are two large pastures lined with white board fence. Also on the premises is a 90' x 200' indoor arena, covered bull pen and hot walker, a 60' x 80' hay storage barn, and two mobile homes for 24-hour staff. The entire island is part of our authorized trails. Westphalians and Oldenburgs are housed here.
About the Goals
The main goals of the breeding program at the Legends farm include traits important to English and Dressage horses - strength, intelligence, movement, and agility. As far as color goes, we aren't too worried about that yet, but solid and rabicano horses are preferred. Recently a new resolution was also created: the Legends farm will not buy grey horses. The farm is already swamped with an innumberable amount of greys.
About the Oldenburg and Westphalian
The Oldenburg was the farm's first love in V3 - Equine Ranch. The Oldenburg has been influenced by many other breeds over its history but is mostly crossed with Arabians and Thoroughbreds today. The Legends ranch is a big supporter of Thoroughbred-Oldenburg crosses. "Hail to thee Oldenburg, hail to thy colors. God protect thy noble horse." Believe it or not, they're the opening lines of the Oldenburg anthem, which the citizens of that North German region have proudly sung for centuries. While the vocal skills of North American Oldenburg enthusiasts may be something of unknown quantity, it's a fair bet that they'd sing in praise of this noble horse with equal fervor.
The Westphalian came later but has been with the Legends farm since the beginning of v4. Westphalians are flawless, large riding horse with quiet tempers, usable for shows as well as for pleasure riding. The latest Westphalian type has been exceptionately talented at English and Dressage shows. Also in combined training or military, Westphalian horses have shown high quality.
