PROSPECTS & BREEDING
John Conatser has long been recognized for his ability to shape the raw ability of talented colts into show ring stars. His and Carriage Lane's impressive record in 2-year-old and 3-year-old competition, particularly at the World's Championship and UPHA/American Royal National Championship, is notably head-turning. In 2016, John made his 10th victory pass in 3-Year-Old Three-Gaited competition at the World's Championship, winning with Rose Arbor's Moving Out in the gelding's show ring debut. Strengthening the farm's commitment to developing young prospects is Tammie Conatser's dedication to expanding Carriage Lane's breeding program, a task she has embraced with passion.
WORLD'S CHAMPION BROODMARES
Two World's Champion performers — WC CH Amelia Heir Cat and WC Callaway's Little Dipper — have been retired to the Carriage Lane Farm pastures, where they now continue their careers as broodmares.
In Memory of CH In My Heart
WCC CH In My Heart, aka Mya, won her titles in the Three-Gaited division, including an undefeated 3-year-old campaign. Mya was shown to many wins and a World's Champion of Champions title by then-owner Carol Hillenbrand and later added several wins under the ownership and showing of Dirk Peterson. Her entire show career occurred under the direction of Carriage Lane Farm, where whe became a broodmare folling her retirement. By Attaché's Born Believer and out of The Sultan's Lady, CH In My Heart's second dam is Hall of Fame broodmare CH Sultan's Supremacy. Among her foals is Tipsy Parson, a Callaway's Northern Kiss mare who began her show career as a 3-year-old under the Carriage Lane banner.
