Marjorie and Richard Gilmore are the owners of Wellgreen Farm located in McLean County at Downs, Illinois. The name (Wellgreen Farm) came from Marjorie's great grandfather, who in the early 1900's, named his farm (located in Sparland, Illinois) Wellgreen Stock Farm, after the area in Scotland, where he originated from. Later on, Marjorie's father changed the name from Wellgreen Farm to Riddell Polled Herefords. Marjorie & Richard took the name back for their farm in Downs. Wellgreen Farm in Downs, IL was purchased/founded in 1992, by Marjorie and her husband Richard, to establish a high standard in the equestrian industry. Marjorie's horse related experience is numerous and extensive with over 35 years working with and around horses. The last 17 years or moving to Downs in 1992, we have been in the horse business (boarding, lessons, leasing, training, camps, parties, scout badges, sales and more......). Marjorie is a certified instructor with North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), a merit badge counselor (horsemanship badge) with the Centrillio Council and is First Aid and CPR trained. The programs at Wellgreen Farm are extensive and extremely safe. We have recently added horse training, and overnight horse motel services (including an on-site beautifully decorated apartment) to our list of services that we offer. Thank you for visiting out site and let us know how we can help you achieve your horse related goals. We would love to hear from you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Memory of My Dad........Marjorie owes her start in the horse and cattle business to her Dad who saddly passed away on January 12, 2008. He is pictured below with some of his registered polled hereford cattle, he was so proud of, some of which were shown successfully by our two sons, Ryan and Adam James. He will be dearly missed but his legacy lives on through all he gave to us. We have many wonderful memories to look back on including several trail rides we took together, which he dearly loved! We know he is in heaven, perhaps riding around on our beloved horse, Poco and his suffering has ended. For my family and me, it is a tremendous loss. Still we must be grateful to a loving God who gave him to us for so many years. As the song put it, "He was my hero......everything I would like to be..." Don't wait until tomorrow to tell your loved ones that you love them......it may never come. Do it today! We love you Dad and we miss you! You are my bright and shining star....
