Richard and Sylvia Dixon moved to Canada from England in May 1994 to run Beasley Farms Sport Horses. 

In England, Richard worked as an engineer and also as a landscape gardener.  He obtained a diploma in carpet gardening as shown in the photo below. Richard married Sylvia in March of 1994.  He now hunts and shows horses on the line at major shows as well as looking after the 135 acre farm. He gardens at 3 different locations.

 

Sylvia Dixon has worked with horses for 30 years. In England, her horsemanship was obtained through hunting, breaking and training racehorses and show horses, driving and producing Arabs and ponies for top level competition. Since coming to Canada, she has produced horses 'for sales' and jumpers. Sylvia has been breeding horses for 20 years and has a National Stud Diploma as well as an Animal Science Diploma which was awarded in 1999 with highest honors. 

We are now breeding Sport Horses for jumper, dressage and eventing disciplines. Young stock is always available for sale. Sylvia also breaks ponies, teaches and is responsible for buying and selling.
