About Us

What’s the Dream Horse?

  Thinking back to when you were a kid, you can easily daydream of a beautiful four-legged friend in the backyard. You could run out to your horse and quickly jump on to ride through the fields, down a trail, over a jump, or even go win a blue ribbon! These cherished memories and daydreams sparked a lifelong passion in us as trainers and horsemen, as well as in all of you!

What many inspiring horsemen lack now is that confidence you once had to make your dream come true. That’s where we come in, our horses are that perfect first horse you always dreamed of or could be a safe, willing, and confidence inspiring partner to help you “get back in the saddle”. They have been tried and are true to who they are and every horse representing the Emerald Creek name is a horse we proudly offer to their forever home.

Our Program

  

Our horses here at Emerald Creek are the all-around perfect partners you have been looking for! Our horses have been carefully chosen at an early age for soundness, confirmation, personality, and trainability.  Each horse is started with a solid foundation both on and off the saddle. As they progress through our program, they are developed into the ideal all-around versatile horse. The end result is a soft, supple horse equipped with the foundational skills and lateral movement to excel as a dressage horse, the trail miles needed for overnight camping trips, the ability to jump, the discipline to work with cattle, the experience to drive, and the patience to cater to riders of all levels. Most importantly, they possess the willingness to be a lifelong friend.

Testimonials

As a novice rider at age 62, I struggled to find someone willing to teach me. That all changed when I was fortunate enough to be referred to Ed and Dana. From my very first conversation with Ed, I felt no pressure. He took the time to answer all my questions and helped me prepare for my first lesson, which left me ecstatic. I began taking lessons with Dana, who was kind, gentle, and reassuring. Her humor and conversation put me at ease instantly, and she never made me feel silly for starting this adventure at this stage of my life. I loved my lessons and secretly wished I could have my own horse, but without the experience, I thought that dream was out of reach. Then, a conversation with Ed changed everything. He introduced me to the training board at Emerald Creek and connected me with a boarder who, just two years prior, had no experience but was now enjoying her horse and riding confidently. In that moment, I realized my unattainable dream might actually be possible. 


My true adventure began when Ed helped me find the perfect horse. With his expertise and understanding of both horses and riders, he made the perfect match for me. Since then, I’ve seen him replicate this process multiple times, and I know that buying a horse with no experience is not for the faint of heart; the learning curve is significant. Ed and Dana have been instrumental in teaching me about horse care, grooming, and riding. Almost two years later, I still have questions, as there is so much to learn. I have always received the time and guidance necessary to ensure my horse and I have a healthy relationship, that he is well cared for, and that we function as a successful team. Who could ask for more? But there’s even more to this journey. Ed and Dana have cultivated a caring and supportive community at Emerald Creek. Many people have been eager to help me learn, offering assistance and encouragement in my riding skills. The entire experience has exceeded my hopes and expectations. The only reason I’ve been blessed with this incredible opportunity is because of Ed and Dana. They truly love what they do and generously share their gifts. If you're looking for camp horses for sale, or horses for sale in the Northeast or western NY, I can’t recommend Emerald Creek enough. The support and community here are unparalleled, much like the swift creek sales horses that make this experience even more special. 


-Michelle Sakko

I visited Emerald Creek Farm while searching for the perfect horse for an amazing client, particularly among the camp horses for sale. I had seen Milo’s fabulous sale video and immediately called and spoke with Ed. I explained what we were looking for, and he reassured me that this horse could be everything we needed. 


Ed and his wife were accommodating, warm, and professional. They gave us their full attention, and I appreciated the horsemanship and effort that went into all the horses for sale in the Northeast that we looked at. 


Milo was everything that Ed said he would be, and we purchased him that day. He is safe, smart, and the perfect horse for his owner. He continues to be everything we were told he would be, and we couldn’t be happier with him. 


Emerald Creek Farm was a pleasure to work with, especially considering their selection of horses for sale in Western NY. If you're looking for quality horses, I highly recommend checking out Swift Creek sales horses as well. 


-Rebecca Jacobson 

Owner/Trainer Fox Hollow Farm NY

With three horse purchases among my sister, my sister-in-law, and myself, we can all say we had a very positive experience from Emerald Creek Farm. The owners provided extensive background information on the horses for sale, including some amazing camp horses for sale. They kept the horses in their care and training program to gain a thorough understanding of each horse before listing them for sale. The Friesian Sport horse I purchased is incredible; I love that horse and ride him all the time. He was a perfect match for me. I rode him at Emerald Creek for a year, benefiting from their training and guidance, before bringing him home to my farm. If you are looking for horses for sale in the northeast or specifically horses for sale in western NY, I highly recommend checking them out. I am so thankful for the experience I had with them, and I'll always cherish my time with the swift creek sales horses.

I purchased Quinn as a three-year-old two years ago, sight unseen, from Ed at Emerald Creek Farm, which my sister-in-law and niece highly recommended. Their trust in Ed was well-placed, and I am incredibly grateful for their advice. Ed has a remarkable talent for matching the right horse to the right owner, and it shows with Quinn, who is truly a dream horse. He possesses a wonderful work ethic, is honest and kind, and is very intelligent—rarely needing to be taught anything more than once. Quinn will start showing in Dressage next month as a five-year-old. Ed transported Quinn to my farm in Georgia from New York with exceptional care and professionalism. If you're looking for camp horses for sale or horses for sale in the northeast, I would highly recommend Ed and Emerald Creek Farm. Ed's honesty, professionalism, and keen equine instincts are a rare find in the horse industry, especially among those offering horses for sale in western NY and swift creek sales horses.
