About Rocking L Acres
Rocking L Acres
is a small horse
farm located about 5 miles southeast of Madison, Wisconsin,
just east of the Village of McFarland and north of the railroad tracks at
2964 County Road AB, McFarland, Wisconsin 53558.
Wes and Jane Licht moved
here with their young daughters over 30 years ago. Wes’s father, Emil Licht,
was an Iowa farmer and an expert horseman. He brought two little black Shetland
ponies to
Rocking L Acres for his granddaughters to ride. Over the years, other horses
were purchased
and many were raised from foals, including larger ponies and Half-Arabs until
the Lichts discovered
Morabs in 1992. Today, most of their horses are Morabs, including Windmere
Royal Topaz, a Palomino
Morab stallion well-known in Wisconsin as a champion halter and driving horse.
After teaching 4th and 5th
graders for 32 years, Wes took early retirement
and now trains horses to drive and people to drive them full time. He also
gives sleigh rides in winter, provides carriage service for special occasions,
lessons to beginning riders, horse driving clinics to various organizations,
and he enjoys competing in all sorts of carriage driving sports. Wes has
long been active in Dairyland Driving Club, Midwest Distance Driving
Association, the McFarland Historical Society and other local community
organizations.
Jane is Wes’s bride
and she also grooms for Wes at combined driving events,
carriage classics, and distance driving events. Jane serves on the Board
of
Directors of the Midwest Distance Driving Association and the International
Morab Breeders’ Association. When Jane is not assisting Wes or volunteering,
she serves as the Register of Deeds of Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin.
