Our Story
Where It All Began
Posted on FB site the beginning of 2018– 4 Lakes Farm at Swanson Arabians
My name is Suzannah Lake. My parents bought this farm back in 1986 and it has held our family name/ breed.....Swanson Arabians. My mom passed away in 2012 and we recently lost my dad in November 2017. Through our anguish, we have contemplated what to do... We have had a wonderful job at Hickory Lane Farms ( formerly Zekan Arabians) in Richfield ,Ohio for the past 18 years.... It has been a very hard decision but selling this family farm in NC would be heartbreaking so we have decided to pick up our family and make a go of it here in North Carolina!! My husbands name is Ed Lake. We both have had a lifetime of experience in the equine world and bond with the Arabian horse in particular. Ed is a large R Arabian judge. We have had National wins and National wins for our amateurs and junior riders in the Arabian show ring. We have been blessed with our 2 children Christopher( 15) and Natalie ( 12) . They themselves have evolved into excellent horse people excelling in all aspects of the equine world. We have been lucky to have been involved in Bath Pony Club while raising them in Ohio. A very active USPC club that has expanded all of our horizons in a sense..., lol..Although our true love is the Arabian breed , we have had much exposure and ownership in other breeds including Thoroughbreds , Welsh, Irish Draught, and Warmbloods to name a few.... and the world of eventing, show jumping and dressage. We have been very busy all spring making our move to Alexis. Along with the move, we have been making many upgrades to the farm which is a continual process. Our plan is to be permanently moved as of July 7th. Shortly after , we will start advertising our services that we can offer the equine community in the Charlotte area. To name of few, we train all breeds/ ages of horses from starting your youngster to helping with problem solving or keeping your show horse as competitive as possible . We plan to continue showing on the Arabian circuit as well as keeping our children involved in a USPC Club and a foot in the eventing world . We will be standing 2 outstanding Arabian stallions and an incredible Thoroughbred stallion. We will be offering riding lessons for all levels including starting your tiny tots! We have outstanding lesson horses that include our Dartmoor pony , “Rodi” that everyone falls in love with! We will have sale horses available at all times. We will offer some boarding . We have lifelong experience in delivering foals and tending to needs. We will even offer other misc services such as hosting birthday parties , misc occasions, and we also have occasional litters of Outstanding Doberman’s and Pembroke Welsh Corgis. We look forward to meeting other equine enthusiasts in the area . Please schedule a visit so we can meet to share our interests as friends or talk about services we can provide. Thank you! 4 Lakes Farm at Swanson Arabians Ed, Suzannah, Christopher, and Natalie Lake ************UPDATE SOON TO COME!!***************
