ABOUT US

Posemuckl Farm is located in the heart of the California gold country
south of Placerville and about an hour drive from Sacramento (west)
and Lake Tahoe (east).
The word Posemuckl is a German slang for boondocks, which is what
this area used to be until all the wineries came in and made it a popular
tourist destination!
Though mainly a training facility for dressage, all our horses are cross-
trained over jumps and get to go on the trail as well! We also offer
specialty boarding, like lay-ups, retirements, mare and foal care and
vacation boarding. Breeding on a small scale we occasionally have
quality youngsters for sale as well!
Our foals are registered, branded and inspected Hanoverian (AHS) or
Oldenburg (OldNA).

We are dedicated to breeding quality Sport-horses with the highest
importance being placed on temperament and correct conformation.
We believe that it is imperative to a sound breeding plan to have high
quality mares. The mare gives 50+% to the foal, so breeding an
average or below average mare to a great stallion, with lots of luck,
might result in a nice foal. More likely though it will give you an average
or below average foal. Breeding is a genetic gamble and we try to take
as much of the gamble out of it as we can. All our mares are carefully
selected and much thought has gone into choosing the right stallion for
each mare.

Our foals are raised in a herd environment on large pastures of rolling
hills to ensure the best development of body and mind. Babies are
handled regularly and taught early on to tie, lead, stand for the farrier
and respect humans!

Martina Bone is a graduate of UC Davis and worked as a genetic
scientist until 2004. She is now applying her scientific knowledge and
love for research to breeding, raising and training horses. Being a
perfectionist Martina strives to create the ultimate equine partner for you!
A lifelong horsewoman and accomplished rider Martina grew up in
Germany and has many years of traditional training to apply to the
business!
