Mercedes Rolandelli, proprietor.
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.
She shares the farm, with her husband, children
and her three dogs.
"...And God took a handful
of southerly wind, blew His breath over it and
created the horse"
