| About Us! Well where do we start? We are the Kroeger's!! Doug, Denise, Rion, and Wyatt. |
| So one of the most asked questions of us is "What is Jackmanii?" Well, it is the dark purple clematis, a creeping flowering vine that you see in various colors while driving around. I planted jackmanii's at my home because I remember them blooming at my grandparents house and being the first generation not born on the farm but returning to it we are honoring our grandparents and their hard work on the land that have made our lives possible. We are now in our 4th year at the barn and looking forward to 20 more. I continue to teach at Scott and Doug is normally doing whatever a carpenter does each day. He is actively working several horses and knows I always have something else for him to fix. Rion is still doing very well in school and is a delight with Raleigh how her autistic brain processes items. The discussions those 2 have on lesson nights are becoming legendary. We now have 6 horses Banish Fear, Harvey Stewart, TaVerne Troyer, Red, Dakota, and Chili Doug's foundation QH from 4J Ranch in DeWitt. Some are from adoption programs and have proved to be worth their hay in gold. TaVerne was our first foster baby and we just had to keep him. If you get the chance to met him you will see why. Banish, Red and Harvey continue to age well. Harvey has his own YouTube from 2008 Iowa Horse Fair. TaVerne is still the barn greeter. Dakota is busy teaching Chili that 2 years olds have their place which for Chili means sharing with Dakota. Thank you for visiting Jackmanii Farm's website. Stop by anytime! Denise Kroeger |
| Harvey Stewart -- doing what he does best; EATING And TaVerne Troyer (yes he is named after Mini Me Verne Troyer). His previous owner has the top earning STB in Illinois Mini Me so it is a small play on words. |
