Mercedes has had a lifelong passion for horses. She has been riding as long as she can remember starting in her native Argentina, and in everyplace she has lived and visited.

Over the years the horses she has owned, loved and ridden have taught her invaluable life lessons, such as patience, resiliency, courage, dignity and determination.

As a farm owner, she runs the day-to-day operation of beautiful River Edge Farm, and she is very pleased to be working in service to one of nature’s most magnificent creatures and its riders.

Her goal for River Edge is to create a serene, natural habitat for horses, and for the riders to acquire horsemanship and riding skills the natural way, by interacting with the horse, by tacking up, grooming, feeding, by learning about horses from horses.

This interaction, develops the kind of empathy that is required to achieve mutual understanding and communication between horse and rider.

"The extensive renovation work at River Edge Farm has been designed with the needs of the horse in mind, from the lay-out of the paddocks, the matting of every hard, unforgiving surface, to the refurbishing of each individual stall" she proudly states.
