Welcome to our site! Spitz Folly Farm is located in Elkton, Florida, 14 miles west of St. Augustine, located between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville on the east coast of Florida. After 30 years of horse ownership, we have ventured into the world of breeding and raising fine old-line Tennessee Walking Horses, a true Southern breed. In 1996 my first walking horse literally walked up to my farm one morning and changed my entire life. Brisco taught me there is no finer horse on this planet than a Tennessee Walker! Beautiful inside & out possessing amazing versatility and a giant heart wanting to please.

In 2005 we met Rafael Valle, owner of Florida's famous naturally gaited palomino TWH stallion Ivory Pal and when we saw Pal we knew we had to find some exceptional mares to breed to him. After much searching we acquired our first broodmares from Mr. Wilbur Odom of Thomaston, GA. They are gentle giants, and we dubbed them "The Ancients". We owe unlimited gratitude to Mr. Odom for all the support and advice he has given us over the years. He truly loves the breed and has put some fine walking horses into the registry, and we want to follow in his footsteps.

In October of 2005 we added Goldust Misty Moon from Layne Connors at Triple Bar C. Thanks Layne! In fact we were so impressed with Moon we went back and got another of her fillies: Chance Surprise Dement!! They are both from Tennessee Goldust lines. And as fate would have it a few more came into our lives...Nell, Bitsy, Rush.

We do not alter our horses in any way. Most of them are 16 hands high and average over 1000 pounds. Color is not a priority on our farm we focus on good conformation, good disposition, proven bloodlines. We train with natural horsemanship principles, using the join-up method. Training is slow and consistent, this has made all the difference in their attitude and trust in humans. Each of our horses is a beloved treasure and we always place top priority on their comfort and health.

So the herd is assembled, the barn is half-way done, the fence building never seems to end. We just hope this dream turned reality won't be a folly! It sure has started out being a lot of fun.

Presently we do have a filly out of Ivory Pal for sale, and offer owner-share leasing on the mares not bred. We will be breeding a few of our mares starting in January.
