About Us
New Blessing Farm was established in February 2006 and the farm's concept is based mostly on the vision of Karen's late mother Norma Severns. Her dream was always to raise young horses on her farm with her family around her. Norma's own Blessings Farm in Calvert County Maryland was the early foundation for the plan that eventually became New Blessing Farm. We share Norma's focus on breeding quality youngsters with temperaments suitable for amateurs, but who are talented enough for the professional. Our youngsters are handled extensively and compete regularly in the breeding divisions. While we breed primarily for the hunter/jumper rings, we do produce some babies that go on to dressage and eventing homes and they are showing great promise for those disciplines as well. We also board horses and pride ourselves on a uniquely friendly, positive, and fun environment.
Norma at the Irish National Stud Lauren Oyarzo is NBF's full time Farm Manager, and sees to every detail of the farm while Karen is at work offsite. Lauren oversees the daily care of approximately 30 horses, including boarder horses, the stallion, broodmares and foals. Lauren has over fifteen years of experience in equine facility management and has also worked as a veterinary technician. She works tirelessly to make sure that all the animals at NBF receive more than they need and we are so very fortunate to have her. Lauren has a degree in Early Childhood Development and enjoys teaching and training riders of all ages. Her personal business, B2 Eventing is based out of NBF. Lauren's husband Kevin Oyarzo is also NBF's farrier. He shoes and trims all of NBF's horses, as well as most of our client's horses.
