About Us
NBF
New Blessing Farm was established in February of 2006. Owners Karen Severns Simpson and Beau Simpson live on the farm with daughter Jessica. Karen grew up in northern Virginia and has been working with horses for twenty five years. She has been involved with hunter/jumpers since childhood. She has an undergraduate degree in business from George Mason University, as well as an MBA from a Texas A&M school. After a few years of working in accounting and finance, she returned to horses full time. Her focus is now on breeding and raising young horses for the hunter breeding divisions and then developing them into performance horses.
Beau grew up in Haymarket, Virginia and has always enjoyed being outside. He works a "real" job in the automotive industry away from the farm and although he prefers iron horses, he is the farm's full time handy man and weekend warrior. He can often be seen driving around the farm with tools and supplies in one of his four wheel drive projects. He truly never stops!
Daughter Jessica recently departed NBF for the eastern shore of Maryland, where she is attending Salisbury University. We hope she is studying a little and not spending all her time at the beach. We miss her!

The farm's concept is based mostly on
the vision of Karen's late mother Norma Severns. Her dream was to have a farm like New Blessing where she could raise young horses and have her family around her. Norma's own Blessings Farm in Calvert County Maryland was the foundation for the plan that eventually became New Blessing Farm.
