One darling last puppy available from Scout's litter when his buyer had a change of plans. Aries is a brilliant black tri male with one blue eye and one green eye. He is crate trained, leash trained and close to housebroken. 8 weeks and ready for his new owner to share a life with. Message me for more details.

It was a wonderful night at Broad Reach Farm welcoming our first c**t since 1991! While I love my fillies it's exciting to see a boy on the farm!

This is Cruiser, our biggest horse on the farm. Cruiser was a rescue horse named Cruise Control when his owner brought him home in 2010. Cruiser was diagnosed with uveitis shortly after. Uveitis is a painful eye disease that takes vision with each flare up and most people put animals down for this disease, but Cruiser is tough snd way too much of a sweet heart. When his vision was gone in that eye, it was then removed while standing up in his barn. His owner continued to ride cruiser natural horsemanship style, no bits just body language. They loved trail rides although cruiser could be a bit clumsy (I mean he does have some pretty big feet). He was always looking for food on the go, stealing cornstalks as they walked by corn fields. In the first picture of cruiser, this was before his final growth spurt. He grew about a half a hand in one winter! In the second picture you can find cruiser back home with his other friends, another draft a retired police horse, and a dwarf miniature horse that ran the barn. Ironically, cruiser freaked when he first saw that little guy! Here at Broadreach Cruiser is the mellow, mature, pack leader. He’s a great role model! And personally, my favorite trait is the heart on his forehead 😊

Say hello to Norman! Norman is our eldest horse on the farm, but has a very successful history. In 2000 Norman beat the Virginia Gold Cup champion of six years. He then was invited to England to run in a course there but it was extremely muddy, which Norman was not a fan of. Some time after that he had bowed a tendon and was turned out and let to be a horse for 6 months. Then when his now current owner was searching for a 3’ Hunter horse, he was the last horse she had tried and instantly fell in love! I guess you could say Norman lived a luxurious life and is now living a happy retirement here with us and all his new friends!

I am heartbroken to say that Maxwell Smart left us today, after 13 years as the gentle giant guardian of Broad Reach Farm. Always the favorite of children, who understood that his impenetrable eyes, gigantic size and deep bark only masked his very tender soul, Max still struck terror in many when they first saw him. He loved to sing Happy Birthday, and adored his canine sisters. Many prayerful thanks to Dr. Stephanie Gagliardi, who is one of the sainted vets that permit dogs to pass their final hour in the stress free environment that they love. Max was able to soak up the heat of the fire in his favorite spot thanks to Dr. Stephanie.
