Happy 17th anniversary to Twilight Farms ! I started this business with one little Arabian gelding and since then we have been the home to hunters, jumpers, eventers, trail horses, therapy horses and dressage horses. I have one mare that has been here for 14 years. Through the years I have been taught so many valuable lessons by these wonderful creatures! You don't have to ride a horse to learn from them! When they come here they become "mine" and are treated as such. Years ago I adopted out Toro to an acquaintance but then heard that he was being given away. I took him back plus his best friend because we all know what can happen to the old guys who are given up for free. I have said goodbye to so many and every one of them has taken a piece of my heart with them. I have been with each of them as they have said goodbye, letting them know everything will be ok.
Of all the things I have accomplished this makes me the happiest and the proudest. I have to thank all of my clients for trusting me with their equine friends. None of this would be possible without my husband who is the best unpaid worker ever!!

“I kept my horse”

We rode many miles, won many shows, and we spent hundreds of hours side by side.
Now you’re old, you’re retired, and you’re my old man.

I kept my horse when he went lame- every damn time.

I kept my horse when I fell off - it wasn’t his fault anyways.

I kept my horse when I thought it shouldn’t be this hard- I didn’t know that’s how I would learn.

I kept my horse when he told me he couldn’t be ridden anymore - because I know compassion.

I kept my horse when I moved away for college and struggled with time- because he’s family.

I kept my horse when I was broke- because sometimes times are tough.

I kept my horse when he couldn’t jump high and run fast because I could see that he still would try if If I asked but he shouldn’t.

I kept my horse when I bought a new one- 3 actually, because he’s irreplaceable.

I kept my horse when I wished I had room for one that was sound- because I owe it to him.

I kept my horse when he was costing me more money to feed then any of my riding horses, because money isn’t everything.

When his legs had enough- and all he could bare to carry was his own weight, I still kept my horse.
When his career as a riding horse was over- I knew I had to keep my horse.

No one owes this horse a retirement except for me, and shame on anyone who selfishly convinces themselves otherwise. I owe him so much more for what he has done for me, but I plan to try and make it up to him when he has nothing more to offer me.

Because that’s how it should be be ❤️

Well, with the snow comes the mud! We had to make sure all of the kids had a dry place to be. Thanks to Don Downing for putting up the new plywood!
