A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Running Stag is a boutique breeding facility focused on Hunter Under Saddle and Western Pleasure horses. Running Stag was formerly the well-known T-Square Stud Farm developed in 1978 by Lev and Linda Miller. The farm has a long history of being a premier breeding facility of Thoroughbreds and is now focused exclusively on breeding the finest American Quarter Horses. The farm was purchased in 2015 by Leslie Bacon and has been undergoing extensive renovations and “refreshing” to bring it back to its former glory and re- claim its place in horse breeding history.

BEAUTY AND UNIQUENESS

The beauty, serenity and uniqueness of Running Stag Farm is beyond compare, and provides our horses the ultimate environment for greatness.

CHAMPIONS IN THE MAKING

“For me, good horsemanship has so much to do with the environment in which horses are developed. Running Stag farm offers horses and humans alike a tranquil escape from the hustle of the outside world. From the moment you enter the gates one is struck by the peace that envelops the farm. This is where champions are made.”

– Candice King, International Grand Prix Rider and Trainer
