Ingleside Farm

Ingleside Farm is a Hackney horse breeder in Franklinton, NC, serving Franklin County and the Research Triangle near Raleigh. Heather Boodey has bred Hackney horses for many years and maintains membership in national breed registries, ensuring each animal meets breed standards and receives thorough health screening.

Its horses live in spacious pastures and enjoy daily turnout alongside stable companions, with foals introduced early to handling and trail riding to promote confidence. A focus on balanced nutrition and regular farriery supports sound movement and the animated trot Hackney horses are known for. Many graduates of the program have competed in local shows or found roles in driving and therapeutic settings, reflecting the farm’s commitment to temperament as well as conformation. Owners often note smooth transitions and detailed care records that gently ease the initial adjustment for both horse and handler. Each horse benefits from a combination of turnout and gentle groundwork to foster trust and physical development.
