Meet the Owners 

Jamie and Amanda Bradley are the owners of Fox Meadow Stables. They have been married for over 20 years and are the parents of 12 children. Amanda graduated from Emory and Henry College and has worked in the education field as a teacher and is currently employed as a certified pediatric speech and language pathology assistant. She has experience working with children of all ages and abilities. She first fell in love with horses as a young girl when her parents bought her a horse of her own named Midnight. She is a graduate student at Emory University and plans to graduate with a clinical mental health counseling degree in August 2006. Thankfully, Jamie also shares a passion for horses, the farm, and nature. She enjoys serving others in the community.  

 

Their desire is to help others fosters a love for equines in a positive and relaxing environment. This desire grew stronger after they adopted five children from the foster care system. As adoptive parents, Jamie and Amanda have been able to witness transformations occur in the lives of their children as they learned to bond with equines, other animals on their farm, and explore the beauty of nature.
