Two Gaits Farm (Carmel, Indiana)
Two Gaits Farm is the name of a Standardbred (harness racing) horse farm that functioned from 1934-1973. It belonged to Leo C. McNamara, Sr. and at one time was internationally known as the largest standardbred pacer breeding farm in the country.〔Bradley, John. "Modern Pacing Sire Lines". Russell Meerdink Company, 1998.〕 The farm was the birthplace of numerous famous horses over the years. In the early 1950s there were over 500 horses being cared for on the farm.
==History==
In 1934, Leo C. McNamara, Sr., of Indianapolis, Indiana purchased a 100 acre farm northwest of Carmel, Indiana. The horse farm was initially acquired as a hobby, but was continually added to over the years and eventually consisted of 700 acres. The family permanently moved there in the summer of 1940. The name "Two Gaits Farm" refers to the trotter and pacer gaits of the Standardbred (harness horse).
Mr. & Mrs. McNamara had one daughter and nine sons who grew up on the farm and helped raise the horses. They were also put to work maintaining stables, pastures and miles of freshly painted white fences. The family lived in the red brick farmhouse, built in 1861, which is still standing today.
In August 1973, the McNamaras sold the entire remaining farm acreage to Mr. Ralph Wilfong. The family home was sold in the early 1990s. What remains of Two Gaits Farm was sold to Jeffrey and Beth Weisgerber in 2011. Horses still live on the property.
