Valley View Acres has been a family run operation since 1992. Our show team shows on the Illinois Short Circuit Hunter/Jumper circuit along with some eventing. As a farm, we specialize in colored thoroughbreds for race and sport and curently stand two thoroughbred stallions: Cathy's Regal Son and Chet DT. We had Illinois' first, second and third all white thoroughbreds.
