About Us
The Van Puttens started breeding 3/4 friesian and pinto friesian sporthorses in the late 1990s. In 2006, they acquired their first Fell pony. Laurelhighland Rambler. Rambler is now licensed and ready to stand to registered Fell mares and select non-Fell mares.
Cherie has had a love of horses her whole life. After several years in New York City, she quit a perfectly good job in public relations and apprenticed at the UVM Morgan Horse Farm.
Cherie began searching for a pony breed to raise after selling her half friesian pony mare, Unknown Legend (Harley). Harley is now in Vermont with one of her daughters (Haarlem) who was also bred by the Van Puttens. At five feet one inch (on a good day), Cherie wanted to stick with ponies, but hated losing the Friesian looks. She attended the Timonium Horse Expo in January 2006 and saw Rambler. It was love at first sight. And Cherie wonders what she ever saw in friesians!
The farm is located in Binghamton, New York. Minutes off of route 81 and just a few miles outside of Pennsylvania. It is only 3 hours from Chester County, PA, and New York, NY
