Grey Dawn Farm is a small family owned business, which offers horses for sale, lessons on GDF horses, pasture board and training board. Vanessa and her mother Cindy owned the business together and offed more than 25 years of experience in horse care and management. Since the passing of her mother in 2016, Vanessa now runs the business with her husband. The discipline of choice at GDF is dressage. Vanessa is a USDF Bronze and Silver Medalist and has also competed successfully trough Intermediaire I & 2.... (read more) She has produced & sold several FEI level dressage horses as well as lower level ones and also has an extensive eventing background having produced & sold more than 15 Training Level event horses and 5 Prelim Level horses. Vanessa has worked with many top professionals in dressage and eventing over a span of 25 years and is able to bring her knowledge to bear when training horses or teaching lessons. Vanessa teaches with patience, positive reinforcement and with a light-hearted & easy-going manner. She gives the horse and rider confidence and enjoyment, allowing them to progress quickly with the many tools and "light bulb" moments she gives them. The emphasis at GDF is on quality not quantity. The 52-acre farm in Warwick, NY is well maintained with a happy and tranquil atmosphere. The facility includes large fenced pastures, a 170ft x 70ft indoor with a stone dust base and German Geo Textile footing mixed with granite sand, a 100ft x 230ft fenced outdoor with stone dust base and sand footing (both arenas are groomed daily). There are trails around the property through groomed fields and woods which are directly connected to hours of trails off the property. The facility which houses the horses in training is newly renovated and state of the art. It has a climate controlled viewing room with a kitchenette, bathroom and laundry room, where one can sit and watch lessons or simply cool down or warm up. The grooming area is directly attached to the indoor and is heated so that in the winter one can give baths and get out of the cold. It has 2 wash stalls with excellent lighting and three grooming stalls also with excellent lighting. Off the grooming area is a large climate controlled tack room and a blanket room. We have 7 12'x12' shed row stalls attached to the indoor with double dutch doors, three 12'x12' stalls with European stall fronts in the newly renovated main barn isle and 3 shed-row stalls facing the turn out fields. We also have 2 brand new, furnished one bed room apartments for rent above the grooming/viewing room area.
