Owner Testimonials

"Décor had a puppy dog personality from the start! It didn't take long to develop a trusting and bonding relationship. He's a fun, all around horse. I have been concentrating on dressage the past two years but we also love to jump and he is good on trails. He's a lot of fun to take to shows! I'm very proud he won a 2007 PVDA Year End High Score Award at the Training Level! I plan on taking him to several clinics in 2008 and competing him at First Level. Who knows how our potential will take us! He is smart, talented, of course good looking, and a complete joy to work with---all the things Playland Farm strives to breed into their prodigy!" ~ Julie Kingsbury

"I fell in love with this fancy mare almost the first time I set eyes on her! Her perfect ground manners make her a pleasure to work around after a sometimes long day in my law office. She has had a full life at age 9. Eventing up to training level-she won first place at United States Pony Club Nationals in Lexington, VA. A seasoned fox hunter, she is an enthusiastic jumper, and loves trails. Sometimes I think she knows how smart she is! She certainly has a lot of choices for her next career. Maybe there will even be a little Limerick in the future!" ~Audrey Creighton

"I bought "coy" (PL Sequoyia) when he was only 3 years old. Just having retired from a busy career at IBM, I wanted the experience of training my own horse. I fell in love with this unique rose grey tobiano paint when my four year old granddaughter ran into my barn in the backyard ahead of me. I got there just in time to see her wrapping her arms around his legs and hugging him---he just stood there, looking down at her, and did NOT move! Who would think this Arab/ Saddlebred cross, making a National Show Horse would be so GENTLE with children as a three year old! His light, airy, dressage movements make him a pleasure to ride! I especially love to take him out on the trails and around the fields surrounding my farm. He certainly has a place for life in my barn!"~ Ginger Dietsch

"I purchased PL Irish Opal and PL Lucky's Jeana from Glenda Player in 2006 and have been proud of them ever since. They are smart, kind, and versatile! They are favorites of everyone who meets them. These horses have an incredible amount of personality - they talk to you. I looked for a horse for a long time and was so impressed with my Opal from Playland Farm that when I decided to purchase another horse, that was my first phone call. These horses are great athletes, coupled with the patience to love small children making them truly all purpose horses!"~ Lynn Francis

“She [PL Kahlua] is a lovely lovely mare, very trainable and such a pocket pony to boot. She has been very good and accepting all the new things we have done over the last eight months or so - blanketing, a few small shows, hunter paces, and of course the trip to North Carolina . One nice thing to note is that she won a prize for highest test in show at a dressage show at Columbia Horse Center at the end of last year (73%). She is starting to jump now (cavaletti, grids, and little cross rail type courses) and seems to be enjoying it. People at our barn can't believe she is only 4 (rising 5 now I guess) and generally so laid back.” ~ Laura Thomson
