Mark and Rhonda Dipple; and their children founded the Full Circle Farm three years ago. Over 35 years ago the dream began when Mark and Rhonda purchased their first horses. Their first-born son, Sean, enjoyed the love of horses at an early age.
During the early years there were many of life’s challenges to overcome. AJ, their second son, was born allergic to horses. A crushing decision was made to sell the horses and move closer to the city.
Five years later, their daughter Jennifer was born. She also shared in the love for horses. At an early age she started taking riding lessons through the Chicago Park District in Chicago, Illinois. Years of transferring from several states; Jennifer’s first horse was purchased after settling in North Carolina. Jennifer successfully rode her horse in several competitions winning numerous prestigious awards such as Horse of the Year on Maximum Risk, aka "Max" her eventing horse. After school she traveled to the United Kingdom where she worked out of a sale barn that specialized in jumping horses.
After Jennifer’s return back to the United States, Rhonda decided to join Jennifer in riding and also tried her luck with dressage rather than trail riding. Jennifer opened her own teaching and training business, D & B Training; acquiring additional lesson horses. Mark and Rhonda also purchased several horses with the dream of one day owning their own horse farm and riding stable.
In 2004, Mark and Rhonda purchased the beautiful landscaped 30-acres of property which is now Full Circle Farm. The following year was filled with labor and toil to work towards the vision and dream of owning a state-of-the-art equestrian facility. In October 2005, Mark, Rhonda, and Jennifer moved onto the farm along with all their horses. One year later they opened the facility to the public. They offered boarding, training, lessons, and full usage of the many amenities and beauty of the Full Circle Farm.
Mark, Rhonda, and Jennifer work together to manage the Full Circle Farm. Together they hosted the introduction of the Full Circle Farm into the equestrian world as an elite state-of-art training facility focusing on the sport and phases of Eventing. Boarders include pleasure riders to serious competing Eventers.
Welcome to the Full Circle Farm….the Dipple Family dream.
