About us
We are a small Dressage/Hunter/Jumper barn with spark. We love what we do which carries into our lessons, training, rides and our everyday routines. We support and encourage an environment of growth and learning.
Why would you want to come to Gray Horse Farm?
Gray Horse Farm would be a great place to train because I am passionate about teaching and bringing along horses. Watching the bond develop between horse and rider is what feeds my soul. I enjoy teaching both Dressage and Jumpers. I secretly enjoy introducing dressage skills to jumper riders and vise a versa. I also get a great charge seeing my riders meet their personal goals and exceeding their expectations.
Horses are magnificent animals and I feel honored to work with all horses and their owners.
Gray Horse Farm is a dream come true for me.
Gitza Peterson, Owner and Trainer

How we got our name
Gray Horse Farm is named after the first horse I ever bought called “Zeke.” I owned him for over 22 years. He was a handsome 14.2 hand gray Arabian stallion who possessed the best temperment I have ever met. He was an accomplished dressage horse (4th level), hunter/jumper horse jumping 2'6", trail horse who could cross water without a problem, (not to mention ride with other horses), Open English Pleasure Show Horse, and a trusted friend who taught my fearful husband how to ride. He is greatly missed and is buried on our property. It is an honor to name our farm after such a noble friend.
Emkay “Zeke” Zeriko, 1974—2001
