Ariel’s journey with Annie Eldridge began in early 2012 in Southern Pines, when they were introduced through a mutual friend. Ariel began riding a couple horses for Annie, and Annie invited Ariel to bring her own horses north to her farm in Massachusetts for the summer. Ariel competed additional horses for Annie throughout that season, and since then, Annie and Ariel have steadily built a string of horses over the last eight years including Ariel’s 5* partner, Leamore Master Plan. In addition to ‘Simon’, Ariel and Annie have purchased several other promising young horses, and with Ariel’s dedication and patience in producing and developing strong partnerships with the horses, they hope that they will one day be competing at the top level of sport.
Setters' Run Farm remains the hub for Ariel Grald Equestrian, as well as for the Setters' Run Farm breeding program. In addition to owning Ariel’s string of talented horses, Annie is passionate about developing a word class sport horse breeding program of quality American- bred horses. Based in Vass, North Carolina, Setters' Run Farm has grown over the past few years from a six stall barn to a 100 acre premiere equestrian property catering to over 30 horses; from top level competition horses to foals.
