Tomorrow during our first official Day of Lessons...we get to introduce Derf to new riders. And Derf gets to win over more hearts. He's an oldie but a goodie. If golden retrievers came in horses, I'm sure he'd be the best one

Let's do this! For the first time ever in the history of Touchstone Farm, we're doing an OPEN HOUSE. We may be new to Nova Scotia, but we've been around for a while. Come out and meet us, meet the horses, ponies and animals that make up our family. Learn about what services and experiences we offer and how to engage with the farm. Come connect with and enjoy! We'll have some prizes and draws during the event too! Now I'm off to plan more fun things!!!!
Saturday Jan 24th, 2-5pm.

Its been a little cold the past few days and the barn cats have been sitting in the windows soaking up the warmth instead of going outside. Smart cats! Everyone is loving the warm barn though!

Even in the cold weather today, a few brave souls came out to ride. Moe was a good boy and jumped a few jumps; Beauty was ready to JUMP anything; and despite not getting a video of Derf, he was the best boy as always. The crew is ready for riders! Lessons starting soon!

Despite the weather today, a few brave families came out to try a lesson and had fun! So, we're building our lesson schedule this weekend. If you've got someone interested, now is a great time to reach out about options!

It is this time of year that people make resolutions, announce plans, make grand commitments. We're not doing it like that this year. 2025 was a year of surprises (hello Nova Scotia) and this year we're going to keep doing what we do. We're going to grow into our space, love our horses, support our riders. We're going to breathe, enjoy, laugh and empower. No big announcements, no large scale changes (aside from location). Just Us working hard, making a mess, cleaning it up, probably making another one, and maybe being lucky enough to find all the things we've packed away before the end of the next year lol.

Touchstone Farm, a home with heart

Touchstone Farm is home to a variety of animals. We have full sized horses, ponies and some miniature horses. Most of these equines are rescues or were at risk before coming home with us, we've promised them a soft landing and safe home for the rest of their days. The few that were not at-risk were purchased with the intention of becoming well loved family members for the rest of their lives. We also have pygmy goats, miniature sheep, two mini pigs, a variety of ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and our dogs. It's a full house!

Our promise here at the farm is to care for and treat every single animal like a family member, because they are. We take our responsibility to our animals very seriously. We never overbook them, we only take on a few events each week (if that) to make sure they get as much enjoyment from doing the parties as the guests do! Any proceeds from the farm go right back into the care and upkeep of the animals. Both my husband and I have careers outside Touchstone Farm, we can't expect them to pay our bills, but we are happy to go to work for them. We will NEVER put profits above their health and happiness.

We can promise that we'll have the same animals each year, plus some new ones of course. We value them like family, and have made a commitment to each and every one of them. Once the season ends, they come home, get spoiled and enjoy the rest until the next season.
