Our management philosophy is to cater to the special connections that owners have with their horses by providing excellence in both horse care and client communications.

Farm Manager

Richard H. Nolen brings more than 25 years of dedicated experience as a horseman to his position at Valley View Farm. He is highly skilled in the care of broodmares and foals, having served as Assistant Broodmare Manager at Overbrook Farm and Broodmare Manager for Eaton Farms where he supervised all stages in a mare's lifecycle from daily veterinary work, stallion bookings, teasing and foaling to follow-up foal development.

Richard's expertise extends to astute yearling assessment and skilled sales preparation of young horses. His wide-range of knowledge includes expert pasture management, grounds supervision, and hay and feed selection and distribution to assure each horse has its specific needs met. One of his greatest strengths is excellent communication with his staff as well as our boarding clients.

On-Site Personnel

The Farm Manager, Assistant Farm Manager and a number of our employees live on the farm, providing round-the-clock security and immediate attention to any situation that may arise. Most importantly, this provides us and our clients with peace of mind that the horses are well cared for and as safe as possible at all times.
