Staci Ardison

Staci Ardison, a horse breeder in Amherst, Massachusetts, is based in Hampshire County and the Pioneer Valley near Springfield.

She has been breeding horses for over a decade and maintains membership with state and national equine associations, ensuring each animal undergoes routine veterinary exams and hoof care. Her breeding program emphasizes balanced temperament and correct conformation, with gentle handling and early turnout on open pastures to promote strong social skills. Foals and yearlings share shaded pond-side paddocks and are introduced to varied footing to build physical confidence.

Several of her young stock have competed in local schooling shows, where judges often note their steady gaits and willing attitudes. The farm’s traditional post-and-beam barn and spacious paddocks provide a calm environment that busy riders appreciate. Many neighboring equestrians return for repeat visits to see the horses’ relaxed temperaments and consistent soundness.
