Welcome to Altamont Sport Horses! Altamont Sport
Horses is a small farm producing quality Trakehners as well as the occasional Irish Draught Sport Horse and Appaloosa
Sport Horse for the disciplines of dressage, show jumping and especially eventing. It is our goal to produce athletic
foals with exceptional temperments. Our foals are carefully handled on a daily basis until they are weaned
at approximately 6 months of age. At Altamont Sport Horses we begin the process of developing our foals' trust
of humans from the moment they take their first breath.

Our youngsters are shown in USEF sanctioned events in order to expose them to the show atmosphere
which they will likely be encountering with their new future owners. They have lifetime USEF recordings as well
as USDF and USEA lifetime recordings, as appropriate for each horse.
We take an enormous pride in the horses we produce and hope you'll
find something on our website that makes you smile. If you see a horse that interests you, please contact
us. We look forward to hearing from you.
We are proud members of the following organizations:

We recognize that athletic sport horses come in all sizes and not everyone
truly needs a 16+h horse. The difference between a 15.2h and a 16h horse is only two inches. Two inches
is nothing for an athletic horse to compensate for on the jump field. As eventer Karen O'Connor
has demonstrated, even a 14.1 3/4 hh pony (Theodore O'Connor) can compete and place at upper level competitions such as The Rolex Kentucky 4 Star Three-Day Event
(he placed 3rd in 2007) and the 2007 Pan American Games where he won both team and individual golds. Our condolences
to the owners, riders and management team on the passing of Theodore O'Connor.
The extra weight a larger horse carries is hard on the joints and puts
the horse at risk for more injuries and arthritis, not to mention effecting overall endurace. We love our horses
and would like to see them stay sound and healthy as long as possible. For this reason we do not limit our breeding to
produce very large horses only over 16h, however, we do have some of those as well. We will help you find the horse
that fits your body and your riding goals. If we don't have the horse you are looking for we will happily recommend
other breeding programs or farms you should contact.
