Our goal (hopefully short term) is to one day have our amazing animals available for the public to come and visit in a petting zoo type setting. My parents got him for me when I was eleven years old (and he was seven years old). I was an active member of 4-H from that year through high school. By the time I completed high school I more or less outgrew my 12.2h pony. However, Hawk was now a member
of my family and I had no notion of selling him. After I bought my first little house on a quarter-acre in the city, I loaned Hawk to other children who used him for 4-H . During his absents I got married to my awesome husband Travis. Eventually Hawk fell back into my care, so I boarded my pony at a family-friend's house nearby. A couple years went by and my husband and I were ready to buy a new house on some land so that my pony could be with us. By this time our fur-family had also expanded and included three large dogs, two rabbits, and a handful of ducks. We searched persistently for a year and a half for a place that would work well for Hawk. We looked at so many properties and wrote many offers but nothing would ever fall into place. With many discouragements and much determination we were finally blessed with the property we now live on. We got our property mid-July and Hawk moved in the first week of August. Four months later Hawk had to be put down due to an internal growth that was blocking his intestines. His loss still brings me to tears. However, he was the reason we ended up on the land we live on, and for that I am grateful. Therefore, our farm is dedicated to the amazing being that got us here, my pony Hawkin.
