Our Story

At Home at Franklin Farm

Originally established in Washington State, Franklin Farm has called Collinsville, Texas, home since 2023. Today, Nat and Diane Franklin’s 180-acre property brings every part of the program together in one place, from breeding and raising young horses to training and competing at the highest levels with Arabian and Half-Arabian horses.

Located approximately 70 minutes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field, Franklin Farm offers the space, facilities, and support needed for both its breeding and show programs.

The Farm

From the Show Barn to the Breeding Barn

Franklin Farm is home to the stallions, mares, and foals of the Franklin breeding program, along with a seasoned show string and horses in training. Its show and breeding barns, training facilities, and reproduction laboratory all sit on one property.
