story
Armitage Farm is a privately owned, full-scale commercial breeding operation. Every yearling in our consignment is proudly bred, raised, and prepared by Armitage Farm. Our entire crop is offered exclusively through public auction, with each horse brought to market to be sold—not merely appraised. Buyers can feel confident knowing that we are not selling culls, nor do we enter the sales ring with unrealistic expectations regarding price.
Dale Holly
Our leadership brings over 85 years of combined experience in raising quality horses. The farm itself was originally designed and developed by Shadwell Farm, resulting in facilities that are not only highly functional but also as thoughtfully constructed as they are aesthetically pleasing.
Tim Hayes
The fertility of our soil, the gentle roll of the land, and the density and quality of our pastures are all critical to developing the strong bone and muscle essential for young horses.
Danielle Snyder
While Armitage Farm operates commercially, our mission goes beyond producing just sale horses. Our first priority is raising sound, competitive racehorses built for long-term success on the track.
"Armitage Farm sits on some of the most productive soils in Central Kentucky. It is made up primarily of McAfee and Maury silt loams, which are widely known to provide nutrients that support growing equine athletes."
- Dorie Smith, Consulting Equine Agronomist, The Farm Clinic
