About Finally Farm Paints
Finally Farm Paints is a small, family-owned and operated horse breeding business. Our goal is to produce world class APHA performance horses, emphasizing the disciplines of reining, working cowhorse, cutting and roping. We are building a fantastic broodmare band, and breeding to top stallions. We produce athletic APHA performance horses, with a pleasant dispositions and beautiful color. Our babies are handled from birth, and trained to lead, back, give to pressure, and lift up feet by the time they are a month old. Our early training and handling ensures that these horses will be easily started under saddle with little fuss and stress. They are turned out in a large pasture, with lots of opportunity to run and to develop their bodies. Our babies are given the best of care and opportunities; we send them to top trainers, and strive to sell to show homes. If you are interested in a prospect, or in our future breeding plans, we would be happy to talk with you.
About the Owners
The owners of Finally Farm are Laura Lindstrand and Zack Hemond. We are originally from the Midwest and were married in 1997. We moved to Washington in 1998 to pursue the outdoor lifestyle that Washington’s mountains and water provide. After about four years of saving and searching, and wishing for a home and land to call our own, we were finally able to buy a farm in 2001. We named it “Finally Farm”.
We are both responsible for daily care of breeding stock and foals.

About the Farm
Finally Farm Paints is located in Matlock, Washington, in Mason County. Finally Farm is close to Shelton, as well as to Elma and Montesano in Grays Harbor County, and is an easy drive to the state capital, Olympia. Finally Farm is on a private, dead-end road, and has a quiet, country setting. There are four cleared acres of pasture. We live on-site.
Finally Farm has a brand new eight stall barn. The stalls are all 12 by 12 and have rubber mats. The barn aisle is concrete, and is complete with cross ties for grooming and tacking, halter hooks, and a place to hang horse blankets. There is a feed room, as well as a tack room. The barn is airy, bright and cheerful. After of a year of research, we designed the barn ourselves, with horse health and comfort the top priority.
The property is fenced and cross-fenced. The horse pasture has brand new horse fencing, made up of non-climb wire horse fence, wooden posts, and a top wood rail. The property is surrounded by tall fir trees which provide privacy, and has a view of the Olympic Mountains. It is situated next to timberland, which has logging trails that are used for horseback riding. It is a horse-friendly neighborhood, as many of the neighbors also have horses.
