Welcome to
Legacy Hill Farms
Dressage Training Center
Castle Rock, Colorado
Magic became a beloved representative of the United States in many international competitions. Steffen and Magic's list of accomplishments include double gold medals at the 2011 Pan American Games and remarkably sweeping the small tour at the World Equestrian Festival CHIO Aachen, the only U.S. horse to ever do so. Magic was known by all at LHF to be an incredibly handsome, intelligent, talented young man who took your breath away with his enormous presence and movement. He is still missed but we are so proud to have known this incredible horse.
Weltino's Magic was entered into the Horse Stars Hall of Fame in 2013. This is a great tribute to one of America's greatest dressage super stars! http://www.horsestarhalloffame.org/inductees/34/weltinos_magic.aspx |
Our Most Famous Import - Weltino's Magic
In the spring of 2006, Legacy Hill Farms selected and imported Weltino's Magic as a personal horse for owner, Michelle Lauber. Magic lived and trained at Legacy Hill Farms for 18 months but, unfortunately for Michelle, Magic grew to a big, gorgeous 18 hands. Seeking a great competition environment, LHF called upon Steffen and Shannon Peters for training and competition for Magic. It was not long after arriving in California that he became a barn favorite and it was apparent he was destined for the big arena with Steffen. The rest is history.

Our Philosophy
After 25 years of experience, integrity and quality,
our mission remains the same....
We import the best horses hand-selected from top barns and breeders in Germany and Holland. We carefully train and develop each and every horse we represent at Legacy Hill Farms. With over 300 horses imported in 20 years, our reputation and proven track record speaks for itself.
Producing happy, healthy horses is our #1 goal.
How do our horses live and play?
First, we are so blessed to live in one of the most beautiful spots in Colorado.
Legacy Hill Farms is set in a peaceful countryside overlooking the majestic Colorado mountains. We provide 12'x12' stalls plus oversized stalls (12'x14') with 24 hour video monitoring by on-site property owners. We feed hay
5x per day and a specially formulated grain/mash 2x per day with night check after 9pm. We have a dedicated live on-site experienced equestrian staff, 24 hour video monitoring including the option to watch your own horse while in their stall. Our horses have long turnouts in safe paddocks. Our feeds include
sprouted whole grains and seeds mixed with top quality feeds plus
we provide 'no chemical' well water and the best consistent Colorado hay and alfalfa available grown in the mountains.
Indoor and outdoor arenas with sand, rubber and oil footing groomed to perfection.
Long, supervised turnouts in safe paddocks for play time.
A state-of-the-art automatic imported Kraft Euro-exerciser for conditioning, rehab and cold mornings when horses need time to warm up tendons and muscles before turnout and training.
Beautiful pastures to trail ride and train on at sunset, sunrise or anytime.
On-site experienced property owners who cultivate and value a fun, supportive,
'no-drama' community of clients.
A beautiful, highly functional barn including full-sized indoor and over-sized outdoor arenas, heated lounge with kitchen and viewing into indoor arena, 21 custom scrolled oversized stalls with rubber mats, custom designed watering system, wash rack with hot/cold water, custom double state-of-the-art light therapy/thermal solarium tack-up stalls, oversized tack room and 4 tack up bays.
At Legacy Hill Farms, each horse is treated with an attention to detail in their care and training. It is our philosophy that having happy horses is more important than drilling movements and overworking horses. Keeping up with what the industry dictates for age appropriate training is not always in the best interest of each horse or rider. Each horse is unique and many factors must be considered in their development.
