Hi! My name is Bridget and I'm the owner of Raven Wood and also the main trainer of the facility. I was born in Ireland and lived there all of my childhood. Ever since I was a young child, I've always loved horses. I've always had a special way with horses. I never really understood why, and the people around me never did either. When I was growing up, my mother used to tell me stories of her youth and the days of the champions. My grandfather owned world renowned Hanoverians and was a highly skilled equestrian. Much to his dismay, my mother never enjoyed the 4-legged creatures. But by the time I had come along, my grandfather had passed, along with his champion horses.
The most prized stallion of my grandfather’s was a dappled grey stallion named, Conlaoch, according to my mother. I did extensive searches on the stallion named Conlaoch but I had no luck finding any information on him. When my mother passed away, I returned home from college to sort out all the family matters. I found a trunk in the attic full of my grandfather’s things. One was a photo of him and Conlaoch, the rest was newspaper clippings, sire and dam records, ribbons, everything to do with his Hanoverians. As I kept searching the trunk, I found a newspaper article about a deadly stable fire. Conlaoch was one of the victims. But as I continued reading it said there was hope, for there was a mare in foal to Conlaoch, from his one and only breeding. I became completely ecstatic; I had to find the foal and hope he or she was still around.
A few years later I was able to find the son of Conlaoch right after he had passed on. The owners of him told me that he also had been bred once to their mare and the foal had been sold. They helped me track down the foal and with my grandfather and mother’s inheritance I was later able to obtained Killian, the grandson of Conlaoch.
It was only about a year after I obtained Killian that I met my husband, Cael. Cael was a business major, heir to his father's cooperation. I didn't know much about him when we started dating other than he was rumored to be a player. We stayed together the remaining years of college and after graduation, Cael proposed to me! Being very much in love with him, the only answer for me was to say yes. We started out with a two stall barn and a two bedroom house as Cael learned the ins and outs of his father's cooperation. When his father opened a new facility, Cael couldn't refuse the promotion and we moved. Cael, knowing how much I wanted to continue my equestrian career and start a breeding program, bought a lavish piece of property and built my dream house and barn.
