Bourbon Sambuca
At 29 years old with a show record a mile long, this 1980 purebred Arabian gelding deserves a website of his own! A barn favorite, Sam has been in the family for over 27 years and we couldn't go to a horse show without him!
Sam passed away December 19, 2009 and this Champion will be sorely missed.

Victoria Stone
With a fantasitc blonde mane and tail, this 2001 American Saddlebred mare has become an icon of Silverstone Equicenter. Owned and shown by Brooke Schafer in Three Gaited Show Pleasure and Three Gaited Country Pleasure on the competitive Kentucky circuit, Victoria always received top honors. She has been retired from the show ring since 2006 but is currently raising our next National Show Horse Champion colt by Ramses Majestic!

Embarr
Already a proven star in eventing and jumping, this French Thoroughbred has an incredible way of going paired with size and stamina. Teamed with Brooke Schafer, we have huge hopes for him!

AJ Awesome Bud
Awesome has become a part of the Silverstone family in just a short period of time. A previous National and Regional Champion in Arabian Native Costume and English Pleasure, Awesome has entered back into the show ranks after a short retirement. At the ripe age of 20, he recently competed in the 2008 Region 14 Championships in Open Native Costume taking third out of a large class of ten!

Heartland's Midnight King
Purchased for Brooke in the fall of 2001, "Bubba" has been an excellent show pony and a lot of fun to have in the barn. He can be driven by anyone and may be seen teaching an occasional driving lesson. He is currently 20 years old but is already to saddle up and go. With excellent bloodlines and knees which touch the sky, Bubba is a sight.
SSF Allora
Sired by SilverstoneShamal, Allora is a stunning purebred Arabian mare. Already a National Champion in halter and liberty, she is going well under saddle and looks to make a beautiful hunter.
