THE MAN WHO BUILT IT
Karl Bauer wrote in his high school yearbook that he would own the largest equestrian complex in New Jersey by the time he was 40. Pretty tall goal for a high school senior. But on Jan. 28, 2001, Bauer turned 40, and in July 2001, North Jersey Equestrian Center in Pompton Plains opened for business after years of planning. And yes, it is owned by Karl Bauer, and yes, it is the largest equestrian complex in the state. The 66,000 square-foot facility sits on 44 acres of land in Morris County, just 20 miles outside New York City, borders two picturesque parks, and has a 22 acre island and two waterfalls.
Bauer, who has a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from Delaware Valley College, Doylestown, PA, began showing horses at 4-H shows and open competitions when he was 9. Five years later he began taking lessons from Robert Standish, USET's executive director. In 1973, he began training and showing horses for Standish as well as his own at AQHA events.
Bauer has since bred, trained and shown American Quarter Horses, many of them ROM, national and world champions as well as Superior Horse Achievement earners.
He specializes in youth and amateur riders that show western pleasure, hunter under saddle, equitation, horsemanship and showmanship at the local, state, national and world levels.
Past President of the New Jersey Quarter Horse Association, he has been an AQHA national affiliate since 1997, and was seated on the NJQHA Board of Directors for six years. He is a member of the AQHA Professional Horseman's Association, Breeders Referral Program and the National Snaffle Bit Association. His talent and experience have earned him numerous awards, including the 1998-99 NJQHA Breeder of the Year.
