~ 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.

Jessica Brandes
Jess has been involved with horses for almost her entire life and gained tremendous knowledge during her many years of working for notable A circuit trainers/coaches such as Wayne Mclellan, Randy Roy, Kim Kirton
and Brady Mitchell. Her enourmous understanding and compassion for her charges is the cornerstone of her value to us here at Stonecroft. With her oversight, you can be sure that your horse is getting the very best care possible. |
JubeJube Dickerman- Head Bug-catcher
Flies, mosquitos, and any other flying bug...they are all in danger when JubeyDoo is on the job! ;)
Bumble Dickerman- Director of Sticks and Flying Leaves
As the newest member of our security team, Bumble comes with an impressive resume of stick gathering and flying leaf herding.
You will often find him hard at work trying to gather everything up including his big sister Jubey...

Rufus - Apprentice Varmit Control
He tries....sometimes...usually loses concentration...but he's a permenant loveable part of our family here.
Scoot - Varmit Control
Our funky monkey Scoot is 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"
Rocky Dickerman
From the time that you became part of our family as a puppy, you watched over Stonecroft with a careful
eye...as if you knew from day one that you were in charge.
May heaven have many Gators for you to chase and balls for you to retrieve.
Your passing was a very sad day here, but we know you are still with us watching over all...
RIP Little Man....

Honey
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 ....
