The Legacy Within: A Memoir of Willow Brook Farms

Willow Brook Farms was a dream. It was 1,800 acres surrounded by megalopolis cities with ever-growing populations. Prior to the Fuller family owning Willow Brook Farms the land consisted of small farmsteads, established in the mid-1700s, before the American Revolution. The land was mostly settled by German immigrants, who built beautiful stone barns made with their own handcrafted cement. Numerous lime kilns around the farm attest to this fact.In the early 1900s my grandfather bought these small farms and combined them to create Willow Brook Farms. Three generations of the Fuller family kept their ardent love for horses alive at Willow Brook Farms. As a child I excitedly perused photo albums of my grandparents riding their horses, and dreamed about having a horse of my own.At the age of eight, my dad bought our first horse, Breezy. That was the start of the Willow Brook Farms Quarter Horse Legacy and the legend continues today.
