We, HILL VIEW FARMS â LLC are devoted to putting the Horse First and providing the best service possible. We are a family business, so we have wonderful prices because of our low overhead and we can give our customers the individual service that is so important.

 I have been involved with horses since 1965 and our family has been riding Delrin system saddles since 1994. In 1996 we decided to share our knowledge and experiences with others by providing products that we ourselves use and have thoroughly tested for at least one year. I have a B.S. degree with honors in Animal Science (1982), ESMT Certification (Equine Sports Massage Therapy) from Equissage™; I'm a member of both the International Association of Equine Massage Sports Therapists and the Minnesota Horse Council. I’ve worked in corporate sales and marketing for over a decade, and have ridden and trained horses all of my life.  I was schooled abroad and at home in hunt seat, equitation, dressage, western, and english pleasure, and saddle-seat style of riding; I have gamed and as a family we have participated in endurance and competitive riding. Don and I have raised three girls and over a dozen horses on the trail, riding 7 months of the year.  During the riding season of April through November, we ride nearly every weekend horse camping, logging from 20 to100 miles, and easily put on 1,000 miles of real horseback riding. (Where we have been).  We own, ride, train and breed both gaited and non-gaited horses and love each and every one of our “babies” as if they were family, (but please don't tell them that).

  This passion along with my quest for perfection, has led us to develop countless products specifically designed for the horse and rider. To date there is no one person that comes close to the miles of riding done using the various types of panel system saddles or who has sold and fit as many panel saddles as myself. Who else better to know what does and does not work?  Because of this wealth of experience, Hill View Farms® is now manufacturing their own line of  saddles and tack. So advanced and perfect is this system that Hill View Farms® offers an unconditional 30-day money back customer and horse satisfaction guarantee.  So whatever the discipline, every Evolutionary Saddle ™ is equipped with the Delrin® flexible panel, System X. This patented orthopedic flexible panel has revolutionized saddlery as we know it by bending and flexing with the horse allowing true freedom of movement.  Besides the saddles, we carry an array of accessories - all unique and not easily found elsewhere. All of our products are field tested with 1000 miles of annual riding and horse camping. We then select and use only the best products and put our money where our mouth is. We RIDE.   Everything we carry is on display yearly at the Minnesota Horse Exposition and at our shop in Springfield, MN. This new facility offers an expanded retail store, a show room for the Brendup Horse trailers, manufacturing and assembly rooms for our line of saddles and tack and lastly a state-of-the-art fitting room for horses complete with stalls.  We would be delighted to serve you and the needs of your horse.  Just call for an appointment or to ask any questions you might have. (NEW LOCATION map)  We will be happy to answer them all. In our Cata-book or on our web site, you will find information and products for you to enjoy and to share with others.

 Our mission is to search out, find and carry products from those manufactures that provide the quality and service that we ourselves expect. Together, the Tauer family of Hill View Farms â is dedicated to making a difference within the equine industry.  The Journey

Our Mission Statement
"I will continue to search out, find and carry only those products from manufactures who provide the quality and service that we ourselves expect." For more on holding manufacturers accountable.  Click here.   

As a contract manufacturer, we require goods built to our specifications.  This product will carry the HVF Brand - exclusively, with no other manufacturer mark.  This Branded Product in itself will carry a 2-year warrantee against defects, natural wear and tear, but not customer abuse or neglect.      Look for the  HVF Brand.
SIDE NOTE: I have been told by many business persons and dimensional profilers that I look at life through rose colored glasses and for running a business and this is not a desirable quality.  Well I completely disagree! To help me understand the way I live my life and conduct business, my dear, dear friend Sharon sent me this, Click here, that now is shared with you.  J
This is the reason that our family business continues to grow - it is because we sincerely care about those we help, it is because of this passion that we look at life differently than most.  Profit in our business is seen as the benefit of helping people, not the reason to.

Customer question: Why do you not have complete on-line shopping?  As a consumer myself, I know that there are fewer mistakes, returns and/or less dissatisfaction when dealing directly with the consumer.  This is why we have a TOLL FREE phone and fax number for you to use.  We both can ask questions of each other and get your order exactly right.  When you call us you will get us directly.  If for some reason we are out of the office, we will tell you by machine and will return your call upon our return.  We are here for the most part 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and we are always happy to receive your call.  There is no bad time to call.  This is our job and we do it for you, because we are consumers just like you! However  I am able to receive payment online.  The shipping will need to be calculated by you and manually put in.  YOU MUST call or email for pricing quotes. Questions or to place orders call Toll Free:  866-723-5937   If you do not have the correct shipping, your order will be delayed.   I will continue to review my on line payment programs, but for now this is the best it is going to get. 

We only endorse and sell products or places that we have personally tested and feel is
