May 4, 2012: Today we received
official written notification from the Cleveland Bay
Horse Society that our two foundation mares have been
awarded Premium Mare designation. In November
2011, we took the mares to a Premium Mare Inspection
which was performed by Cleveland Bay Horse Society
Inspectors. The mares' conformation and movement
were evaluated based on meeting the standards for a
purebred Cleveland Bay. The mares' each also had a
veterinary examination performed prior to the
inspection. In addition, each mare had to have
produced at least one live foal and be a minimum of five
years of age before they were eligible to apply for
Premium Mare designation.

Epiphany
Bay Farm was established in 2005 with
the purpose of breeding the endangered
Cleveland Bay Horse. Currently,
the farm is home to five purebred
Cleveland Bays, two Cleveland Bay x TB
crosses and one TB. We have
developed and are constantly in the
process of developing our line of
purebred mares. This allows us to
make breeding decisions based on each
mare and the stallions which are
available for breeding.
