When I Count My Blessings At Night, I Count My Horses Twice...







Whinny For Me Farm is located in Spotsylvania, VA.  We are located kind of between the towns of Fredericksburg, VA and Orange, VA.  Whinny For Me Farm is a small hobby farm and home to myself, Jill O'Roark and my husband, Harvey Hamilton (link to pictures).  We have been a couple since we were teenagers and Harvey is now a little older than he was while I  just turn 29 again each and every year.  Harvey and I were married in 2003.  We started dating in 1985 but wouldn't want to rush into anything!  We love each other very much.  Harvey is such a good man and a hard worker.  He really does everything he can to keep me happy!  On our small farm, we have many wonderful four legged babies including our beautiful miniature horses, playful Nigerian dwarf goats, fluffy shih tzu dogs, a  gorgeous blue merle collie, a lab x chow, a fuzzy Maine Coon cat.

Our horses are our major hobby.  We do have many who are accomplished show horses. Our horses have had top honors including many, many halter and driving championships within their state and region and numerous National Top Ten, National Top Five, National Champion, and National GRAND Champion wins.  Additionally, several of our horses are AMHA National Honor Roll, AMHR National All Stars, and AMHR Halter Hall of Fame recipients!


With the breeding herd we have put together, we own and produce quality miniature horses that can bring as much joy into the lives of other enthusiasts as our own exceptional horses have brought to us.  Our breeding horses are all show quality and are each dually registered with AMHA and AMHR.  We have quite a lot of Buckeroo blood and National Grand Champion lines within our herd. 

Please check out our "Foals" page (link above) where you will find pictures and videos of our miniature foals.  These foals showcase what we work so hard towards.  Our "specialty" is Buckeroo bred, necky, show quality foals -- a good percentage of which will be buckskin in color.  We proudly offer the miniature horses we do to caring and knowledgeable homes, whether to be a ribbon winning show horse or a beloved family pet.

We would like to thank an outstanding horsewoman and good friend, Erica Killion of Erica's Tiny Trotters (see our links page) in Drasco, AR, for the tremendous positive impact she has had on our show string and breeding program.  She is a valued mentor and friend who  has helped so many of our horse dreams come true!

Apart from my hobby farm, I work as an investment advisor and financial coach.  I am the President and co-owner of an independent investment advisory firm, known as O'Roark Asset Management.  My partner in this practice is my Dad, Don O'Roark.  In addition to owing a Registered Investment Adviser Firm and holding a Series 65 license, I am also licensed in the areas of insurance and annuities in several states.  I am very proud of what my father and I have built in our business and we both take a lot of personal satisfaction in the relationships we have built with our clients.  Additionally, one of the things I am most grateful for in life is that I get to spend so much time with my Dad!

My career in financial services dates back over 20 years.  I have a background in banking and mortgage lending, having previously worked as a mortgage loan originator at "the" local bank, before joining my father and creating our practice in 1995. I have previously served as a registered principal having held a series 24 license (OSJ / Registered Principal) and series 7 license (stock broker) before shifting my professional focus to fee based asset management and fixed and indexed annuities. I hold the professional designation of Certified Funds Specialist (CFS) through the Institute of Business and Finance, and I am currently pursuing the professional designation of Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) through The American College.

People can listen to Don and I on the popular Nationally syndicated radio talk show, "Financial Safari" with America's income planner, Coach Pete d'Arruda, on Saturday mornings from 9-10 a.m. on 730AM WTNT out of Alexandria, VA, 1250AM WKDL out of Warrenton, VA or online at www.730WTNT.com.






My other interests and hobbies include: spending time with my family, computers, music (especially old school punk rock and alternative rock -- so what if I'm too old for it), reading (avid Stephen King fan, Dean Koontz, Charlaine Harris, Christopher Moore, etc.), spoiling, loving and driving my miniature horses, spending time with my family, shopping (online especially!), surfing the net , and playing with my pets. I enjoy all my hobbies and interests (obviously), but as you might guess, I am especially into my pets. I adore them and can't imagine not having them around. They are so much company and so much fun!  I feel lucky to have them in my life and to have a wonderful husband who loves them just as much as I do!
