It is not lost on us how lucky we are to have such a beautiful farm. As we settle in, unpack, set up, work out programming...we're going to keep our principles and goals the same. To provide a supportive and positive environment for everyone that steps into our barn; to provide safe and fun sessions for all our riders; to keep our horses health and wellbeing our top priority because without that we can't ask them to look after our riders; to do our best to make horses accessible to as many as possible but still pay the bills ;) So while we settle and adjust, its going to fabulous. Just watch ❤️

Our introductory Camp event is FULL! We're setting up our lesson program and getting our horses back into work after a break. But we're excited to get back to it!
If you're interested in English lessons, please reach out and we'd be happy to share our info.

Merry Christmas Eve from our ever so patient horses.
Most of them are used to use putting hats and headbands on them. Jane has grown up with it and always gives the best eye rolls. But this year, Percy let us do it without any fuss...and then ran away before we could get it off him. I'll post a video in the comments ;) May Santa be good to all of you!

Bryan's Christmas photo was posted early, but now it's time to share Toki's. Merry Christmas friends!
Our camp spots are almost filled for next week, and we're taking names for our lessons starting up soon too. Going to be a busy holiday season getting everything unpacked and ready to roll

Merry Christmas to all of our friends, families and followers! It's been a year of change for us here at the farm, but we are excited to embrace 2026 and all that it brings

I'm not even sure she feels the least bit guilty for getting this dirty. Actually pretty sure she's a little proud of herself. Good thing you're cute Kisses!

As we make posts and talk about the farm, there's a group of people that don't know us yet. We're new to Nova Scotia. We very recently moved our WHOLE farm here from Ontario. All our horses, minis, goats, sheep, cats, dogs, rabbits, hedgehogs..is that it? Phew. We've existed for 10 years prior to Nova Scotia; we're really not new...just new here. We've been doing lessons, camps, supportive riding, EAL, parties, and lots more for a long time. Check out our posts, read about us, ask questions, there's lots of history in these pages. Check out our reviews. Want references, just ask. We adore our Ontario families, we miss them, and we're looking forward to making more connections in our new home in Sheffield Mills.
Left to right: Brenna (daughter), S'mores (one of the horses), Rob (husband), Kisses (one of the minis) and Jill (me, wife/mom).

Here it is...our first official event in Nova Scotia! 2 days of winter camp at the farm. Come out and meet the horses and ponies. Enjoy activities in the indoor arena, spend some time in the barn learning about horses, reheat in the heated lounge. Fall in LOVE with horses. Ages 6+
Very limited spots available. Payment due upon booking. Helmets provided. Dress for the weather. Please message/email/call to book your spot.
Know a deserving child who would love to come out for a day but needs some financial help to get here? We have a sponsor for a single day spot. If we have multiple requests, we'll do a draw to pick a name. Please send us a message

We had a couple of families out today to meet us and the horses. Despite not having power (big storm) we ran the generator to make sure we had lights and water...and snacks. Toki met new friends. She hasn't been entirely herself since moving, I think she's missed people. Rob, Brenna and I don't count apparently lol. But today she got to see some new friends and one little visitor fell in love with her. And it was clear to see, that Miss Toki fell in love with her too. Horses have big hearts, so it's lovely to see how much space they have in them for friends...and to see how much love Toki has to share

We've got a few people coming out tomorrow to meet us and the crew. To come see what they think of the horses, and to talk to us and share insights into riding and teaching. It's the first big step (aside from moving here) into getting organized and open for business. So today we'll unpack a little more, get some of those little details ready...and hug our ponies and promise them friends are coming because they've missed them

A wonderful afternoon to sneak out for a hack. Derf and Moe went out to experience the cross country course; Moe popped a jump and loved it, Derf must've had some Eventing in his past because he refused to let Moe have all the fun. Our saintly reliable Derf found 'high-speed' and forgot he's an old man. Does my heart good to see him so happy and enjoying life out here in Nova Scotia ❤️

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.
