About Us

Rolling Stone Farm is located in Slatington, Pennsylvania, and is convenient to the Lehigh Valley International Airport, New York and Philadelphia. Visitors are welcome by appointment only.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a carefully managed environment in which to produce a number of well bred warmblood horses each year. Our goal is to produce athletic and healthy individuals who are able to excel in dressage and jumping with both amateur and professional riders alike. The key to this is a focus on rideability, good gaits and exceptional temperaments. Many RSF horses are now in training and winning across the country, and several of Gold Luck's oldest foals are poised to make their FEI debuts in the coming year.

Our breeding program includes quality mares with impeccable bloodlines, including several who won championships at their respective mare inspections. All mares are carefully selected to produce outstanding foals when bred to elite Hanoverian and Oldenburg (GOV) stallions, including our own stallion, Gold Luck. We have many of his offspring available for sale, including weanlings and yearlings as well as a few select broodmares. We also usually have an outstanding selection of riding horses for sale.

Our People

Owners Mo and Jim Swanson
Mo and Jim have been raising warmblood sport horses for over 20 years, with a particular focus on Hanoverians for much of that time.

Mo is a judge for the Oldenburg Horse Breeder’s Society (GOV) on its yearly inspection tours. She makes numerous tours to Germany and has extensive contacts and friends there. She is on the Board of Directors of the Mid-Atlantic Hanoverian Breeders Association (MAHB), a successful regional breed club, and she is one of their founding members. She originated and has helped to organize their Annual Fall Mare Show.

Jim always regarded the farm as an oasis from the corporate world and with his recent retirement, he can always be counted on to keep things running smoothly, help handle the youngsters or show off one of the stallions in hand.

Our Breeding Program
At Rolling Stone Farm, the bloodlines of our stallions and mares are carefully matched to produce the finest foals possible. Our mares are carefully monitored throughout their pregnancies to produce the healthiest foals possible. After the foals are born, they are handled daily, placed on a proper worming schedule and receive regular farrier and veterinary attention. All of our horses are turned out daily in large pastures and in appropriate age groups to foster correct physical development, as well as good socialization and herd interaction skills. Our foals develop into healthy and loving young horses.
