History

GAF has been a major factor for over 40 years in the horse worlds of showing, foxhunting, polo and point to point racing.

In the 60's and 70's, the primary emphasis was on showing, fox hunting and point to point racing. GAF produced many champions in the hunter world at shows ranging from the Maryland Pony Show to Madison Square Garden. The farm also produced many horses who were champions of Virginia and Maryland in divisions ranging from ponies to working hunters and open jumpers.

The farm also produced many field hunters that were utilized in numerous hunts throughout the country. Joseph A. Muldoon was the trainer throughout this period.

During the 80's and 90's, the farm was primarily devoted to polo. The GAF Polo Teams were primarily made up of members of the Muldoon family: Big Joe Muldoon, Joe Muldoon, III, Mary Muldoon, and professional polo player, Charles Muldoon. Additional players were brought over as needed from Argentina. The team during this period was primarily mounted on Argentine polo ponies. The team won many national and international championships.

Yet the emphasis today at GAF has switched to boarding horses, horse shows, foxhunting and breeding. As part of this program, the farm offers boarding and training for a few selected clients under the tutelage of Joe Muldoon. He has recently retired from his practice of law in Washington, D.C. and returned full time to his first love, the horse world.
