Mary Lynn Foster, Owner and Instructor
Mary Lynn has had a passion for horses since she was a little girl. As an adult she began taking lessons with her oldest daughter and this began what would become a family shared passion for horses. Twelve years ago Freaky Styley “Georgia”, an American Saddlebred, joined the family and fulfilled Mary Lynn’s childhood dream of owning a horse. Over the years she has become more and more involved in the saddlebred horse world, continuing with lessons, horse shows, and becoming involved with several horse associations while supporting the family passion for saddlebreds and showing.
In 2005 Mary Lynn made the decision of a lifetime to fulfill an even larger childhood dream of owning a farm. Trinity Farm was born in August 2005 when the family made the big move. When Mary Lynn is not working outside on the farm she continues to work as a registered nurse at Riley Childrens Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit. She has been an RN for over 20 years. Her other interests include reading and growing friendships.
Abra Foster, Education Coordinator and Adoptions Specialist
Abra has been involved with horses since that fateful day she came home and asked if she could take riding lessons ‘like her friend Lauren’. At the age of 9, she began lessons with Barbara Kyler of Falcon Run Farm learning skills as a saddle seat rider that she continues to apply and teach today. Abra showed natural talent as she progressed thru her years in academy shows, 4H Horse and Pony and into ‘the big time’ as a saddle seat pleasure equitation rider and Jr. Exhibitor with Georgia. Abra’s current work is development of dressage techniques to further develop her riding.
Abra is a Purdue University graduate with a talent for introducing children to the world of animals. She is currently working toward her goal of becoming a veterinarian, working part time as an assistant and attending IUPUI full time. She also runs Casey’s Home Animal Rescue and Refuge and actively takes on pet sitting of all types of animals. She is an avid reader and infuses new ideas into the education and training at the farm.
Hannah Stilwell, Farm Assistant
Hannah is a student at Ivy Tech College in Indianapolis. She has been riding since she was 3 years old and began taking lessons (‘riding the big horses’) at the age of 6. She has been showing saddle seat at local and area shows ever since.
Hannah has participated in 4H Horse & Pony in the saddle seat division as well as being active at local and area shows and is ready to help our young riders achieve their goals in 4H, academy or beyond.
