Blue Fountain Farm

Blue Fountain Farm was founded by Lesley Deutsch in 1992. Located on 40 beautiful acres in the Gold Country foothills, the farm offers: * covered full-court dressage arena * 100' x 200' jumping arena * 60' round pen * large, airy stalls with mats and sand paddocks * foaling stall * covered pens * pastures with shelters * individual tack lockers * hot-water wash rack * cross ties * shaded picnic area * access to trails * clinics * full-service care LesleyDeutsch’s involvement with horses has spanned over 30 years, from being a horse-crazy young girl, to currently owning and operating Blue Fountain Farm. She has competed successfully in hunters and jumpers as well as in dressage, showing her own, and also many customer’s horses. Lesley was lucky enough in the 70's to own a very special horse with whom she won many championships. Her jumper, “Lucky Moment”, was many times Pacific Coast Open Jumper champion, and they jumped the Puissance Wall set at 7’. Lesley and “Moses” were allowed to represented the United States in Grand Prix jumping competition in Mexico in the early 70’s. As well as her competition career, Lesley has been teaching riders and training horses in many different disciplines for many years. Her students have won many championships, as have the horses in her charge. Her teaching method is clear and positive. Her clinics in dressage and jumping have been very well received. She was for many years an instructor with the Northern Mines Pony Club, and she also ran a riding school in Ireland in 1980. Lesley also enjoys starting colts, using round pen techniques and getting her young horses to trust and respect her. She carries a lot of her colt starting methods over to older horses who might need a little refresher on how to behave both on the ground and under saddle.
