Welcome to our website. We raise and show World-class Quarter Horses. Our mares are now residing in Walton, Kentucky at Fields Quarter Horses, home of OHK Krymsun Zip. We are quite excited about this endeavor as the foals will be eligible for the Kentucky Breeders Incentive Fund.

about us

Owned by Amy Parker and Dick Atkins, SummitWynds Quarter Horses is located in Jefferson Massachusetts. We are a 50+ acre facility set near major highways, but yet in the country. With a view of Mt Wachusett, and endless fields and woods, you are sure to see deer, hawks, blue heron, pheasant, turkey, beaver, coyote, fox and other wildlife here. Lots of renovations have been made in the past 8 years, we take great pride in working around our farm. |
our history ...A farmhouse and an old stone ski lodge with 130 acres was purchased in 1964 by Whit & Judy Parker (my parents). There were no barns and no fences. The ski lodge was converted into the first barn, with 5 stalls and a 2nd story was added for hay. Fencing was put up for several pastures. |

Appaloosas were raised with the purchase of a stallion, Horseshoes Taytoba. In the early seventies, a barn was built with 12 stalls and a run-in shed in the back. Broodmares were added, and often times there were 10-15 foals born each year. Many awards were won in the Appaloosa Circuit. In the mid 1970s an arena was built, and in the early 80's an addition was added which could hold 38 more stalls. At that time, Quarter Horses were being raised and shown. |
Whit Parker aboard SummitWynds War Dance, a 1971 gelding sired by Horseshoes Taytoba, born and raised at SummitWynds. In 1997, six years after the death of my father, we decided to renovate the farm and fulfill our dream of making SummitWynds the beautiful place it is today. |
