In 2019, kitchen and cabinetry magnate, Ola Yoder, secured a horse property in Wakarusa, Indiana, just a few miles from where he resides.
With the help of his entrusted and soon to be farm manager, Duane Miller, he went about establishing Kountry Lane Standardbreds. A world class harness racing breeding facility and operation with designs on producing world class pacers and trotters.
In little over four years, Kountry Lane Standardbreds have become one of North Americaās leading industry participants, procuring the finest bloodlines in both stallions, and broodmares who in turn will be given every opportunity of creating a legacy only a few in the sport dare to achieve.
With that being said, it is hardly surprising that in developing a website that tells the Kountry Lane Standardbred story and vision for the future, Yoder and his team have produced a world class digital platform for participants and followers to enjoy.
Very rarely do you stumble across a website in which you feel compelled to spend more then a couple of minutes.
But as if you were standing at the farm gates in Wakarusa, Kountry Lane Standardbreds state of the art website draws you in and has you taking notice. With every scroll and click of the mouse, users are provided with an aesthetically pleasing and interactive experience that is authentic, enjoyable and educational.
Those who know little about Yoder, Kountry Lane Standardbreds or the standardbred industry will enjoy the experience just as much as those who do.
There is little chest beating or puffery, which is true to one of the many philosophies Yoder has ingrained in everything he does. There is no need to be anything other than humble when the farm, business model and bloodstock speak for themselves.
Some of the many features include detailed information on the six elite trotting and pacing stallions which include two of the first sons of Walner to be made available to the breeding industry in North America. You will also find extensive information of every broodmare on the farm, which includes world champions and six millionaires no less. They are a mixture of some of the finest bloodlines from North America and down under to date, and will continue to expand in both size and substance.
Very few if any standardbred studs provide the level of information available about its bloodstock, but users can be sure that the information provided is up to the minute and regularly maintained to reflect the latest happenings in the harness racing world. Feature articles, pedigree updates and regular maintenance and improvements are an ongoing part of the excellence one would expect from Kountry Lane Standardbreds.
Kountry Lane Standardbreds understand communications play a significant role with its many stakeholders and hope you enjoy engaging with its new website.
