We have a huge Extravaganza Planned for our 20th Anniversary - and YOU are invited!

This is the site that greeted us 20 years ago - October 1992 - the day we moved in to Blue Fountain Farm.  Mr Skunk was very unhappy that we were kicking him out of his territory, and the buildings were barely done (see the wood still piled on the ground).  A LOT has happened since that day, so we decided that we need to have a big soiree to celebrate our 20 years at BFF, and to give everyone a chance to re-connect with old riding companions and friends.  We are planning a fun-filled day on Saturday, October 20th, from 2:00 to ???  There will be live music, food, beverages, pony rides (it seems that many of you "kids" that I taught over the years have your own little ones now!), and a wonderful "Wall of Memories", among other things. 

Chelsea (above) is now a beautiful 21 year old, and, get this - Lil Beaver is now 42 years old! (That's yours truly holding The Beav)

 Here's where we can use your help - we need you to send us photos of your times here at Blue Fountain Farm!  Send them email, disc, or prints - just get them here!  Send us some stories as well - we want to do a great memory wall, and even possibly a DVD of all the images and stories.  I have quite a few images that I am scanning, but I know there are a lot more out there.  Between boarders, students, Pony Club members, Saddle Pals participants and workers, clinic participants, horse show participants, mare owners (you can't forget Jozsef was here) - you get the idea - there are a lot of you out there.



This is me in 1998 with our orphan foal Siegfried, and Lil Bea -his companion/chew toy. Lil Bea, like her current partner, Lil Beaver, is an old timer - she's now 17 years old - I'm told that's old for a goat!

We will be using this blog as an inter-active site where you can RSVP as well as keep up with the latest as the date gets closer. Also, check my ranch facebook site - for information - https://www.facebook.com/lesley.deutsch#!/pages/Blue-Fountain-Farm/432259256802799

You can send your images and stories to my email - horses@bluefountainfarm.com , or to my mailing address at

I look forward to going over old memories with you, and especially to seeing all of you in the fall!

MORE TO COME!
