We are so excited to announce that we found a sweet little friend for Stevie. Please help us welcome Holly to our family. She is also partially blind but that doesn't slow her down at all and she is super sweet. We love her already and know she will fit in perfectly. Her and Stevie are still learning to trust each other but I think they will become fast friends. 💖
Better pictures to come soon.

Well we tried out some new friends for Stevie yesterday. A friend offered her 2 ND goats as friends for Stevie but unfortunately they were not accepting of Stevie so they went back home. I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn more about them and all their antics as it kind of reinforced the fact that I really don't want goats 😆 So we are still on the search for a friend for Stevie. If anyone knows of a barnyard animal in need of a good home please reach out. Preferably another lamb even if its blind or special needs but willing to try other speciesas well. It would live an amazing life here ❤️

Stevie update: since he likes to be with us I decided to work on a little leash training with him. He likes his halter better than pulling on the collar so this first experience was very positive 💖

We have 2 spots open for boarding. We are great for retirement horses as they will receive a lot of love and personal care without the busyness of a lesson barn.

We are low-stress, relationship-first care for animals, land and people. We are located just outside of Chesterfield/Daleville area in Anderson. We do not have and indoor or outdoor arenas but riding in the pasture is an option.

Horses will run on a track system from spring till fall with access to 3 sided shelters as well as grazing areas and fresh water. The track system is setup using step in posts and electic fencing. Our pasture has weeds, forbs, brush as well as grasses and trees to give them a diverse menu.

All animals are offered 20 different free choice loose minerals cafeteria style to help keep them as healthy as possible. For this reason we do not offer grain and have seen some amazing improvements in body conditioning as well as hoof health.

During the winter they have access to the full 7 acre pasture with 3 sided shelters, heated water buckets and round bales that are unrolled so their is less chance of resource guarding. On extreme weather such as rain then quick dropping temperatures or freezing rain we will bring the horses into the barn to make sure they are dry before the cold weather comes in.

We limit the amount of animals on our land so that we do not overstock our land which helps keep everyone healthy. Its important to us that we work with nature as much as possible therefore we utilize more natural approaches to our animal care. We use natural dewormers, fly predators and a purposely built pond to increase dragonflies population to hunt the horse flys.

Most our horses do not require fly masks in the summer or blankets in the winter but we will always do whats best for each horse as an individual. Each animals welfare is our highest priority and every animals is treated like family. We are checking on everyone at minimum morning and night but in all honesty we enjoy just being with them and grooming them so they get a lot of love and attention.

If this sounds like a good fit please feel free to reach out to us to discuss pricing.

Sometimes a soul is called home before any of us are ready. Justin Kinzie you were a bright soul and always quick with a smile. You will be missed by so many. Now you can race fast on your bike while onto your next adventure ❤️

On a side note motorcycle can be very hard to see day or night. When we are in the car we play the 'motorcycle game' where you get 1 point for being the first to call out any motorcycle you see. This helps train our brains to recognize them and hopefully helps save a life 🏍👀

This special girl is Criss Cross Applesauce 🖤 As you can see she was born with a crossed beak. We decided that if she wants to live then we will give her a chance and she has been doing really well in our barn with her friends. We'll lately she seemed to be loosing a little bit of weight and then we noticed she broke the tip of her top beak. I can only imagine what it must feel like trying to eat like that. So I made her some soft food and force fed her. Let me tell you she still has plenty of an opinion about being man handled 😆 After breakfast you could see the beak tip was barely hanging on so we decided to remove it. She did really well with it and it did bleed a little bit but not too bad. So she currently back out in the barn strutting her stuff with a full croup.

Little Stevie update. He is doing really well. We try to let him come out into the backyard as much as possible but with the weather getting cold again that wont be as often. He has made friends with the chickens and prefers to sleep in their coop at night.

We do feel he needs a sheep friend so if anyone knows of a youngish hair sheep (preferred) in need of a loving home please let us know. We think another sheep would be best as goats tend to march to the beat of their own drum but we are open to anything. The thing is his friend would need to stay with him around the barn yard since Stevie is visually impaired its not safe for him to be out in the big field with the horses and other sheep so even if its another handicapped animal that would do best in a smaller area we would consider it. I know the perfect friend is out for him now we just need to find it.

Its a bittersweet day today as we delivered Copper to his new home. He has made so many amazing strides while being here with us for these 3 months but we know his calling is to work with people helping them heal and that is exactly what he will be doing in his new home. We will miss having him in our herd but he has moved onto an amazing home with .sanctuary and I know he will have an amazing life there. Thankfully he is only 15 mins. down the road so we can visit him as much as we want ❤
