Hidden Bay Farm was founded in Stillwater, Minnesota in 1988 with Donald and Elaine Erickson and the Surface Family. The goal was to breed, own and show excellent quality Paso Fino horses with the proper disposition for the amateur competitor.

For over 20 years, Hidden Bay Farm has continued to succeed in the show ring. We have multiple Grand National Champions, National Champions and Regional winners. We have been blessed to have such success with a small program. It has been amazing to watch Hidden Bay Farm horses enjoyed across the United States, Puerto Rico and even in Germany.

Hidden Bay Farm is dedicated to preserving and promoting the Paso Fino breed. Danna Surface was elected the Paso Fino Horse Association Secretary for two terms, a member of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of the Paso Fino Horse Association and the Mid-America Paso Fino Horse Association President. She served the association for 11 consecutive years. Charlsie Surface Haynor is a United States Equestrian Federation certified judge and a Paso Fino Horse Association certified judge and a member of the USEF Paso Fino committee.

Training and sales are handled through United Paso Fino Show Horses in Summerfield, Florida. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. We can help you find your dream horse or refer you to a trainer to best fit your goals.
