Founded by Sarah Jeanne Owen in Ridgeway, South Carolina in 1977, Fair Croft Farms began as a show barn for Hunter/Jumpers.
Her stallion at the time, the highly regarded Thoroughbred Fair Ripple, sired numerous Champions including Solarus, Hush Money, Fair Affair, Fairfalutin', Task Force and Command Force.
In 1993 she moved the farm to Damacus, Maryland, and began a decade-long Irish Sport Horse import business, working with top trainer Tom Waters, and watching the horses they trained
and showed reach top competition levels nationwide.
