Meet the Team
Claudia DeLaRoche, Owner
I have been riding horses since I was 4 years old. Sir Raymus Maximus the Prince Horse (AKA Raymus the mini) was my first horse. I’ve loved him for the past 9 years and still do! I received formal training at Holiday Acres in Rutland and loved learning the proper way of hunt seat riding. I excelled in equitation and I’m always working to improve my position and ability to ride correctly with effective aids. I had an exceptional opportunity to work with a trainer at Mountain Lane Farm in Temple, NH to improve my knowledge and abilities with my horse Remington and this Spring I will be returning with my colt, Flynn, to learn more and work on my skills. I wanted to start caring for horses and give other horse owners a break after seeing my parents struggle to take time off. You can rest assured I will make your horse my first priority.
Amy DeLaRoche, Assistant to Owner
I’m my daughter’s biggest fan, obviously. I love hitting the trails with her and capturing valuable time to connect. Most importantly however I truly understand the sacrifices made to keep your horse on your own property, it’s a 365 day a year job! To say it’s a commitment is an understatement. Most of us layer this commitment on top of an already crazy schedule of family and work. I believe it’s still important to take time away and recharge your batteries. That is why I’m excited to help her provide these services.
Colton DeLaRoche, Ranch Hand
No, I don’t own a horse. My horse is a dirtbike, but I like to help. I’m the designated “ranch hand” . My responsibility is to keep the trailer clean, clear land and collect firewood, hall hay, and dump manure with the Gator. You can occasionally see me riding the mini Raymus to please my big sister.
Jonathan DeLaRoche, Right Hand Man
“Happy wife, happy life” so the saying goes…..
With over 30 years experience in transporting livestock to heavy equipment I’m happy to be part of my daughter’s team! My wife and I are very involved in supporting her passion and love for horses. When I’m not busy running Heartland Construction Unlimited I enjoy being her right hand man!
