A tale of 4 seasons, 1 horse & the rhythm of ze farm; we appreciate that not everyone has the land available to gaze at your horse through the kitchen window; however...
What we don't do;
Is clip their winter coats ( they're not in full-time work UNTIL we have identified the RIGHT home)
We do not shampoo & set them during the winter months. We do not want them catching a chill.
Neither do we spend our time making them look pretty; we far too many horses. The care of them takes up all of our time.
What we do provide;
Free range outdoors time 24/7/365 (though we've stables to help our horses become used to livery conditions)
Winter months they have unlimited quality hay from untreated fields.
Recognise that in late spring, their coats are at rock bottom, they are itching to get on the green stuff, but we must wait just a little...
Turn them out into vast fields from May until as late as is possible.
Leave them always to roam & interact in mixed herds. Allow them to develop however long it takes.
If you visit on the last knockings of the winter months, expect to see them at their most shabby (though NEVER hungry)
If you get over some wind knots, mud & a hay belly; you're welcome. If not, then waste no ones time. We want visitors who appreciate that everything we do is for the equines best interests. We concern ourselves with the mental & physical well-being of the horse.
Finally, here is Kamino the Palamino rising 6, clearly an NC cross, I'm sure you've done your homework & know that the Normandies only come in 3 official colours...but who cares 🤷♀️ he can't read his passport & magnificence such as this is hard to find ❤️
Fit, healthy, gentle with a great brain & born in to us as a babling in an adjacent paddock.
