Meet Our Staff
After a twenty year career in sales and investments, Laura Holdford realized her own “dream” by opening the doors of Pony Dream Farms in early 2006. An avid horse lover from a young age, Laura has enjoyed training in English Equitation/Hunter Jumper and extensive trail riding. She has worked full time with Pony Dream Farms teaching hundreds of children the love of horses, and managing all operations including care of the lesson herd, beginner lessons, summer camps, local show coaching, and related administrative duties. Laura specializes in giving horse lovers of all ages a positive start in the saddle and with horsemanship.
Laura resides at Pony Dream Farms with her husband of eleven years, Robert Holdford, dogs Fancy and Zorro, cats Caramel and Domino, and her lesson herd of seven horses and ponies. She is the proud mother of daughter Raquel Miranda and grandmother of Reed Hinson, age 18 months.
Ms. Anna Mullins continues her third year in association with Pony Dream Farms as a part-time hunter jumper instructor and trainer. She has guided many of our beginner students into the show ring, preparing them for competitions at the local hunter jumper schooling shows. As a junior, Ms. Anna trained and competed successfully in the Children’s and Junior hunter divisions at the A/AA levels throughout the Mid-South and Mid-West. She trained professionally for 15 years in the hunter discipline working principally with developing her own green horses, and currently assists her students in training their own mounts.
