Turn up your volume for this one! While closing up the barn tonight and feeding dinners, we were serenaded by the local coyotes. Foxes were south of us and earlier, but this pack was north along the north mountain. It went on for quite some time too. Very cool!

Brenna and I get excited about new ponies to ride...but Rob got his own new ride too. A helpful tool for chores, lugging stuff around, and a little tomfoolery around the farm ;)

I love this. This is applicable to riders and to horses. There is no standard timeline. No rush to reach the finish line. Enjoy the process, love the learning...so much is experienced just in that

We had the privilege today of making memories and bringing smiles. Big steps in the learning process, small steps in the overall journey, crucial steps in the the love of horses ❤️ Well done today riders, you all rocked it!

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

This is what Twiggy thinks of all this ice. We aren't figure skaters...we don't need all this ice ;)

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!!!!

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!

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.
The difference is easy to see. We simply adore our animals. We love to see them happy and having fun. Hearing children laugh and giggle because of our crew, it’s quite simply the best thing ever. This is by far, the most fun and best ‘job’ I’ve ever had.
