NRHA Leading Breeder · Fox Meadow Farm · Inducted 2020 (Posthumous)
Sally Brown of Maple Plain, Minnesota, transformed the NRHA breeding landscape with an almost prescient eye for pedigrees and a willingness to bet on up-and-coming stallions. She built Fox Meadow Farm into a powerhouse broodmare operation focused exclusively on good minds. She bred NRHA $3 Million Sire Jacs Electric Spark and Million Dollar Sire Whizard Jac. She received the very first NRHA Dale Wilkinson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 — the year after her passing. Inducted posthumously into the Class of 2020.
