Max and Friends
In loving memory of Maxie "Max" Horn 1997-2009. Always in our hearts; forever at Matterhorn.
Click here to read Max's Obituary.
Maxie
Horn, Greeter and Director of Welcoming Services
Max was a lifelong resident of Matterhorn and moved up the ranks
to become the director of the welcoming services division. He
always made sure your favorite furry friends are out and about saying hello. In 2007, Max opened his own shop, Max’s Place—A Pet
Boutique. Max
had
three sisters, Jessica, Alex, and Moe the Cat, and three brothers,
Matthew, Marley and Montana Horn. You might recognize Max from
his
successful Matterhorn ad campaigns and also as the face of Matterhorn
on our delivery vans and trucks. Max “gobbled” up
the spotlight and was known to pose in stylish black shades. He was the sweetest dog and taught us all how to live, love, and care for each other. He loved running through Matterhorn and meeting his wonderful fans. Maxie will never be forgotten.
Welcome to our website! Our Mom and Dad and Aunt and Uncle, Matt and Ronnie Horn, have
owned and operated Matterhorn since 1981. I hope you will come by
to visit soon. We have gardens, shops, a café, plants, furniture,
gifts, and everything else you could imagine. We want to let you know about our important Matterhorn
jobs! One last thing—we love to get email! You can reach us
at woof@matterhornnursery.com.
Please write often.
Montana
Horn, Assistant Greeter
Though Montana rarely leaves Matt Horn’s side, he can sometimes
be found escorting canine visitors through the Matterhorn tour.
Montana studied under Max Horn and has become quite adept at
welcoming
guests and turning on the charm. He is currently acting as a welcoming
mentor to his cousin, Jack Stavisky, and looking forward to serving
as a taster for the new gourmet pet treats. Montana goes by two
nicknames, Tana and Monty, and likes to shade himself under the
annual displays in his spare time.
Marley
Horn, Assistant Greeter
Marley is Montana’s litter mate and has really stirred things
up around Matterhorn! Known for his rascal antics, Marley split
the last two years between Matterhorn and Cornell University with
Matthew Horn. A star of young Matt’s fraternity house and
an avid swimmer in the gorges around Ithaca, Marley likes to hang
out in the ponds at Matterhorn and specializes in the shake and
wet maneuver. If you see a wet Golden running your way, take cover!
Moe
Horn, Watch Cat and Director of Security
Moe has been a member of the Horn family for the past twelve years.
After a trial in residence period on the back deck, Moe adopted
Ronnie and came to tolerate a great deal of canine companionship!
Moe is becoming a major player at Matterhorn. Since the publication
of her business card, Moe has been making regular appearances in
the Gift and Garden area and has garnered a large following of fans
hoping to spot her beautiful, shiny black fur as she dashes through
the Garden Center. Moe is stealthy, but you might hear her bell
as she patrols the grounds. Security issues or questions should
be reported to Moe at meow@matterhornnursery.com.
Jack
Stavisky, Intern, Welcoming Services
Jack and his brother and litter mate Grady carpool
to work with their Mommy, Director of Special Events, Kristen Stavisky.
Jack is an imp and goes by the nickname Whippet in honor of his
lightening fast runs through the Matterhorn grounds. Jack is enjoying
his studies with Montana and hopes to be greeting customers soon.
He has a particular soft spot for his Uncle Matt and his goal is
to join Montana by his side!
Grady
Stavisky, Intern, Welcoming Services
Grady and his brother Jack reside in West Nyack with their mommy
and daddy and love going to work at Matterhorn! Grady is a real
sweetheart and delights all with his bear like paws and sunny disposition.
Currently studying with Marley Horn, Grady loves to meet customers
and friends in the Garden Center and especially likes to act as
a tour guide for the Max Boutique. He is always available to sample
the gourmet dog goodies and check out the new puppy beds! In his
spare time, Grady likes to play with his cousins and chew on bones.
Did you see Max's magnet? It has his picture and you
can purchase it at Matterhorn. All of the proceeds go to
the Hudson Valley Humane Society. The Hudson Valley Humane Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (HVHS) is a Rockland County
based private, not-for-profit animal welfare organization, established
in 1891. For more than 100 years, the HVHS has served Rockland and
its surrounding areas through its animal welfare initiatives which
include: adoptions, sheltering, animal welfare education, spaying
and neutering assistance, community events, pet therapy, and enforcement
of laws which protect animals. The HVHS derives
most of its revenue from private donations. Max loved Ray and everyone at HVHS. Help carry on his work and make the magnet
a top seller! If you would like to learn more, visit their website

Woof,
Max's Friends
