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 ❤️

As we unpack, we keep finding these treasures that I've tucked away for safe keeping. Every time I find one I smile and try to find a cool spot to put them so we can share them with everyone in Nova Scotia too ❤️

I was going to make a post for a few horses, but decided that Percy needed his own. In the shuffle of relocating to Nova Scotia, he sat on the backburner and didn't get ridden for a while. Today, for the first time in too long he was saddled up and taken into the new arena. He had a few moments adjusting to the mirrors and then was off doing his thing like a pro. He may be new, but he's going to be fabulous! Way to go Percy, you made us so proud today!

Finally got the sign and wings up in the barn. Right at the end of the row as soon as you walk in. Slowly making progress. The weather hasn't been wonderful, but so grateful to have the barn to keep everyone warm while we transition to Nova Scotia. Derf may never want outdoor board again ;)

It's up! Thank you to all our friends and families who signed it for us. We get to hang it in the new barn as a testiment to all of your amazingness and smile every time we see it ❤️ Its my favourite new artwork for sure!

Since moving to the new farm, Jane and Sisco have shared a stall. They are very attached. Sisco adores babies, and since Jane arrived at 6months old, 2 years ago, Sisco has taken over maternal duties. Sisco is now waiving the white flag and requesting more independence...and so Jane got her own big girl stall tonight. Just across the aisle from Sisco, so they can still see each other, and right next to Kaia, so she has lots of familiar faces. Gotta say though, Jane looks HUGE in there lol.

Winter has arrived. We're told this is abnormal, that this isn't a typical December this year. That may be, but the critters are still tucked away into the barn warm and happy while the wind howls away ❤️

A complete set. Everyone is going to get their name plates up this weekend. I ordered them before we left so everyone would still match our original crew ❤️
Brenna has Moe's in her tack locker, I'm not brave enough to look for it...but we'll dig it out and put it up too ❤️

With the snow and ice, we kept the crew in a little longer to give it a chance to melt a bit. They were SUPER excited to get out and have a roll, I think every single one did. Happy to have such enthusiastic horses ;)

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.
