About Us

Rolling Stone Farm is located in Slatington, Pennsylvania, and is convenient to the Lehigh Valley International Airport, New York and Philadelphia. Visitors are welcome by appointment only.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a carefully managed environment in which to produce a number of well bred warmblood horses each year. Our goal is to produce athletic and healthy individuals who are able to excel in dressage and jumping with both amateur and professional riders alike. The key to this is a focus on rideability, good gaits and exceptional temperaments. Many RSF horses are now in training and winning across the country, and several of Gold Luck's oldest foals are poised to make their FEI debuts in the coming year.

Our breeding program includes quality mares with impeccable bloodlines, including several who won championships at their respective mare inspections. All mares are carefully selected to produce outstanding foals when bred to elite Hanoverian and Oldenburg (GOV) stallions, including our own stallion, Gold Luck. We have many of his offspring available for sale, including weanlings and yearlings as well as a few select broodmares. We also usually have an outstanding selection of riding horses for sale.

Our People

Owners Mo and Jim Swanson
Mo and Jim have been raising warmblood sport horses for over 20 years, with a particular focus on Hanoverians for much of that time.

Mo is very active in the American Hanoverian Society (AHS), and serves on it's board of directors as well as several committees. She has made numerous trips to Germany and has extensive contacts in the region. She is also one of the founding members of the Mid-Atlantic Hanoverian Breeders Association (MAHB), a successful regional breed club, and has helped to organize their Annual Fall Mare Show.

Jim regards the farm as an oasis from the corporate world and can always be counted on to keep things running smoothly, help handle the youngsters at the inspections or show off Gold Luck in hand.

Trainer Beth Hart
Our new trainer is Beth Hart as of November 1, 2007. We are very excited. I have known Beth for three and a half years. In that time, she has been a very studious riding student of mine, along with her mom, Jane Ward. She worked with us at RSF for a summer three years ago, and loved the babies so much, she bred one of her own (an Arab cross). She is presently the proud owner of a Gold Luck daughter- Ghlimmer, bred by my friend, Jeannie Poindexter. She will do the MPT at our Hanoverian inspection this summer, in hopes of attaining Elite Mare status on her. Not only is Beth a super rider with a friendly personality, she is a recent 4.0 graduate of a vet tech program- invaluable on a large breeding farm where virtually all of the vet work is done in house by us. She was working at New Bolton in the equine division when I stole her away. She is doing a super job riding the two young stallions and the other young horses, and has already received very high praise from Scott Hassler after a recent clinic we had here on the farm.

Our Breeding Program
At Rolling Stone Farm, the bloodlines of our stallions and mares are carefully matched to produce the finest foals possible. Our mares are carefully monitored throughout their pregnancies to produce the healthiest foals possible. After the foals are born, they are handled daily, placed on a proper worming schedule and receive regular farrier and veterinary attention. All of our horses are turned out daily in large pastures and in appropriate age groups to foster correct physical development, as well as good socialization and herd interaction skills. Our foals develop into healthy and loving young horses.
