About Us

FWF is an American Saddlebred barn.  American Saddlebreds are well known for their comfortable, even gait, gentle disposition, and strong, graceful athleticism – all of which make them an ideal mount for riders of all ages and skill levels.   Some Saddlebreds have even become famous movie stars . . .you’ve probably heard of Fury, Flicka, and Black Beauty. 

The breed was established when Narragansett Pacers were crossed with imported Thoroughbreds.  As they made their way into Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and Tennessee during the early 1800s, they became known as Kentucky Saddlers because they evolved into a major commercial product in the Bluegrass State.  The Kentucky Saddler gained recognition during the Civil War because of its beauty, high intelligence and good disposition.  In fact, General Robert E. Lee’s horse, Traveler, was a saddle horse.

FWF is owned and managed by Paul W. Joyner.  Paul has been riding Saddlebreds for more than 30 years and has successfully competed in the Carolinas market.  He began his training career by apprenticing at nationally known stables in California and Kentucky.
