Caroline and Hugh Morshead founded Killusty Farm in 1988.  Killusty was built with a lot of hard work, determination and a dream.  Hugh carved out his renowned Killusty Courses out of cow fields and cedar bush. Caroline spent many, many hours painting dressage boards, Stadium jumps and picking rocks to ensure safe footing.

Caroline and Hugh have two sons, Christopher and James. 

Christopher Morshead has taken up eventing, and in 2005 he competed two horses very successfully to the Training level and came in three top five places with both horses.  In 2006 he evented three horses.  Christopher is currently at University in Ottawa.
