ABOUT TAYLOR MADE FARM
Inspired by their founding father, “Daddy Joe,” Taylor Made Farm was established in 1976 by Duncan Taylor and his friend Mike Shannon, along with Duncan’s brothers Ben, Frank, and Mark. Still family-owned and operated, what began as a small boarding farm has now expanded to nearly 1,100 acres of beautiful rolling hills. Today, Taylor Made Farm is home to 10 stallions including World Leading stallion NOT THIS TIME, Kentucky Oaks and Breeders’ Cup winners, Graded Stakes champions, future racing stars, and a thriving community of mares, foals, & yearlings.
Aside from the beautiful farm, Taylor Made is best known as the worldwide leader in Thoroughbred Sales in North America. With over $3 billion in horses sold, they have raised and sold more than 135 Grade 1 winners, including 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Notable sales include Havre de Grace, sold for $10 million, and Songbird, sold for $9.5 million, making Taylor Made a dominant force in the industry.
