Silver Gate Farms Return to Training barn
Silver Gate Farms was established by the O'Leary family in 1990. The O'Leary family
legacy in horse training began in the early 1900s with Connie's grandfather, who specialized in rehabilitating difficult farm horses and great
uncle who was a jockey in the 1890's.
Throughout the
1970s, the O'Leary's
trained and
rehabilitated horses
for resale. By the
1980s they had turned
their attention to the
horse-show industry,
competing on the open
and breed circuits.
Their list of
champions includes the
1980 state champion
Green Working Hunter,
Color Me Loud, and
1985 National Champion
Hunter Hack and Green
Working Champion
