The owners
Owners Frank and Judy Gassmann bring to Full Circle almost 30 years experience owning, showing, breeding, and caring for horses. They built their first farm, Prairie Dancer, in 1973 in Dundas, IL. In 1981 they moved to rural Madison, IN where they operated the 14-stall Madison Morgans until moving to Kentucky in 1997.

The Gassmanns also publish annual stallion directories, trainer directories, and calendars through their company, Breeders Guide Publishing.

View the Full Circle Dressage farm profiles published in the 2005 Morgan Breeders Guide, and the 2004 American Saddlebred Breeders Guide.

The sculpture
Visitors to Full Circle are welcomed by a large sculpture at the end of the drive that, in stylized form, serves as the farm logo. The sculpture was created by Steve Skaggs, professor of art at the University of Louisville.

The incomplete circle of the sculpture represents the dressage concept of constant striving for perfection - but never achieving it.
