Started as a hobby in 1988, New Promise Farms, LLC began as an Appaloosa breeding program.  We grew into a 40 horse operation, competing every weekend in endurance racing and breeding the best endurance Appaloosas and Tennessee Walkers.  The economy has hit everyone in the middle of the back, including New Promise Farms LLC.  We are no longer a full care equine facility, we have shut our doors and are operating as a small hobby once again.  Below, our three remaining horses. 

Left top.  Flame, a kick ass endurance horse who exceeded our expectation her first year out competing.  Now, having her first foal in April 2010, she has been on conditioning only in 2009.  Look for her on the trail again in summer 2010.

Right top.  Freedom, a mare destined to become an endurance contender.  Currently conditioning to run in 2010.  She is available for lease to someone who wishes to compete endurance with (or without - grin) Dodie in 2010.

Bottom.  Tommy, the only foal in 22 years of breeding that Dodie has kept and raised from birth.  Both parents (Rocket and Mocha) owned and competed successfully by Dodie on the endurance trail, this colt is her hope for a perfect endurance horse and breeding stallion.  He is 12 months old in this picture, taken in July 2009.
