Descanso Farm has produced some of the top sport horses in the world.
Recognizing the absence of top-tier, hunter/jumper sport horses originating in the United States,
Hannah Selleck laid the foundation for Descanso Farm in 2010 after retiring her Grand Prix mare, Tosca van Het Lamboroek. Tosca’s first foal arrived in 2012 and was the catalyst for Selleck’s visionary endeavor to build Descanso Farm into a world class breeding operation. Since then, Selleck and Descanso have produced some of the top sport horses in the world, dedicated to developing them to the peak of their potential with the utmost care and attention given to every step of the process.

After 10 years of running a successful breeding operation at Descanso Farm,
Selleck has shifted her focus to the development of top-quality sale horses and the advancement of horses’ show careers. As a lifelong decorated equestrian, Selleck is deeply dedicated to advancing the careers of both her personal horses, as well as those of clients.
Selleck believes any equestrian must first be passionate about the horse before they are passionate about the sport. The same level of care, attention, and passion Selleck devoted to Descanso’s breeding process is evident in her training and riding style. Between the years she spent working alongside some of the most recognizable names in the sport and her long list of personal accomplishments as an FEI rider, Selleck has her sights set on producing some of the world’s greatest horse and rider partnerships.
