EQUINE MANAGEMENT
Dale Logan – Farm Manager
Birthplace: Midway, Kentucky
Brittany employee since 1989
Dale started working with horses as a summer job at the age of 13 which was pretty normal for any young man from Midway. However, Dale soon found that he had a passion for horses and it seems as if it will be a lifelong one. After serving as Broodmare foreman at Parrish Hill Stud, Dale came to Brittany as the Broodmare manager. It was not long after that he married Patty Mowry (Logan), our Yearling Manager. Dale is now the Farm Manager at Brittany. For relaxation Dale enjoys anything fishing but particularly ocean fishing.
Patty Logan – Yearling Manager
Birthplace – Titus, Florida
Brittany employee since 1987
Patty grew up riding and showing many different breeds of horses. Patty spent time working for master trainer John T. Ward at Keeneland and also as a yearling groom for Parrish Hill Farm. Patty answered an ad for yearling sales help at Brittany Farms and was made yearling foreman by the time the sales were over. Patty still enjoys riding and she and Stephanie trail ride together as often as possible. Patty loves going to the races at The Red Mile and also enjoys the several fishing trips that she and Dale take every year.
