~ About Us ~
Nancy Dickerman- Owner, Pooper-Scooper, Social Director and On-site Photographer
as well as "weed wrangler", fence fixer, master painter...a little bit of this and a little bit of that ;)
Nancy grew up in Wisconsin starting her love of horses in the Saddlebred industry but quickly moved
over to a small HJ barn where she rode and showed until moving on to University to earn her Engineering degree.
Upon moving to Ontario with her husband and family in 2003, Nancy renewed her love of horses~ purchased her horse Cole
and spent hours riding through the Vivian Forest.
In 2006, she and Jim purchased Stonecroft and throughout the years has gained an enormous amount of knowledge and
experience also competing for a number of years on the ORHA circuit until her twin daughters started showing.

Kaitlyn Lazelle - Barn Manager/Weekday Staff
Kaity grew up in very horse oriented family with her Mom and many Cousins and Aunts owning and competing on their horses in Hunters, Dressage and Eventing. She spent her youth learning how to properly care for horses and showing in the Hunter ring eventually transitioning to the Dressage ring.
Backed by her huge love of all animals, Kaity earned her Veterniary Technician degree from University of Guelph along with her Equine Science certificate. She spent a few years working in a busy vet clinic before deciding that the barn was her "happy place" ~ and she joined our family. |

Flies, mosquitos, old leaves and anything else airbourne...they are all in danger when JubeyDoo is on the job! ;)
Rufus - Apprentice Varmit Control
He tries....sometimes...usually loses concentration...but he's a permenant loveable part of our family here.
Scoot - Varmit Control
Scoot is our newest member of the family.
He's very keen, playful and loves to tell us stories of his Mousing expertise as he follows us
around the barn. We're hoping some of that will rub off on Rufus! ~ lol.

Our friends who have passed over the "Rainbow Bridge"

Oh Honey....we miss you so very much!
We have no idea where you dissappered in December 2016, and hopefully you are tucked in with a family closeby and snuggling with their littles as we know you love them so much. Rufus misses you....
But just in case you passed over the bridge, please know that you were dear in our hearts...We will all remember you're trusting loving nature.

We will forever miss all that you brought to Stonecroft.
Your "high-wire" balancing act on the narrow boards above the stalls, your rumbly purr, grinding your head into any horse that would put their nose down to sniff you, your playful "swats" if someone passed by you and didn't say "Hi!" , and the smile that you brought to all that knew you <3 ....
