About Us
Distant Fire Ridge is a model horse breeding and showing operation based on the east coast of the United States. Our goal is to make the model horse world as fun and realistic as possible from pedigree assignment to model horse shows to general knowledge. Distant Fire Ridge offers a variety of services to the general model horse collector, including free pedigree assignment, quality sires and dams, free online photo shows, and references and referrals to other model horse websites. Distant Fire Ridge is currently home to over 200 horses belonging to a variety of breeds. We are focusing on growing our American Saddlebred and Warmblood breeding programs and have established Thoroughbred and Arabian breeding programs. Distant Fire Ridge is also home to a number of other animals, including cats, dogs, and endangered wildlife. We show our horses in online model horse show competitions on a regular basis. While most of our show horses participate in conformation and color classes, many also compete in races, dressage, and other disciplines. Distant Fire Ridge is the owner and founder of the Northern Maple Equestrian Club, a model horse show club that hosts monthly and weekly English performance shows. Thank you for taking the time to visit us! Facilities - coming soon!
