Our History
In 1960 Mike and Norma Twig bought the property that would become Spring Gap Farm. Their granddaughter, Kina Davis, spent most of her childhood on her grandparents farm and always thought of it as her home.

Chance was the first horse Norma and Mike purchased through trade. He was a kill pen horse that was completely feral. Mike trained him and he eventually became rideable.

From 2005-2010 Kina taught riding lessons and became the head IHSA coach at Wilson College. From 2010-2014 Kina traveled and trained at various stables in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. She even traveled to California to further her skills. In 2014 Kina went to Ireland to Foxhunt with the best. She traveled and trained to become the well-rounded educated equestrian we all know and love today.

In 2015 Kina rebuilt the barn, created a riding ring, started teaching lessons, and built Spring Gap Farm. Today Kina owns and operates the farm. We now offer boarding, training, guided rides, lessons, showing, and kids camps.
