Home to Tennessee’s Mangalarga Marchadors, Daisy’s Folly is an equestrian estate like no other. The Mangalarga Marchador horse is a rare gem in North America, with less than 400 residing in the USA. Daisy’s Folly is proud to be an ambassador of this remarkable Brazilian breed.
Deep within in the rolling countryside of Middle Tennessee, Daisy’s Folly was built with a vision: to honor the beauty of the land, celebrate the art of fine craftsmanship, and embrace the connection between horse and rider. The manor that overlooks the farm is home to Nelson and Amber McAdams Crowe and their two beloved golden-doodles. Amber- affectionately known as Ms. Daisy- had a dream that was born from her lifelong passion for horses. That dream became Daisy’s Folly. As an avid rider, breeder, and trainer, she is s dedicated to producing exceptional Mangalarga Marchador horses.
The 7,500-square-foot stable is the heart of Daisy’s Folly. Designed to honor tradition while embracing modern innovation, this architectural gem offers:
