Spirit Wind Farm- Horses and ADGA Nubian Dairy Goats

"With You I shelter the horse" Jeremiah 51.21
Offers Appaloosa Foals, Breeding & Registered Nubians Hi! My name is Sarah and I live in northeast Indiana.

Spirit Wind Farm is my little hobby farm that currently consists of 7 horses (plus any foals that are for sale each year), 8 Nubian dairy goat does, 2 Nubian bucks, (and whatever goat kids I have for sale each year), chickens for eggs and meat, sometimes a cpi[;e pigs for meat, 2 Anatolian Shepherd Dogs, a Doberman Pinscher, a Cane Corso, and 4 barn cats. I've always been passionate about horses a

nd bought my first horse, Spirit, in 2005. I bought my second horse, Gunner, a year later. I lived in town so I had to board my horses for 2 years until I found a place in the country. I am legally blind and was a young widowed mother so my horses were my therapy. The 4 acre property I bought came with a horse, Shade, so my little herd grew to three. The huge bank barn was complete with a rooster so I bought a few more chickens. I was devastated by a horrific barn fire at the end of my first winter here in which I lost that beautiful barn and all my chickens and several cats. God blessed me and spared my children (who had just been playing in the barn), my horses (who I had just let out of their stalls), and my dogs (who I was able to get out of the kennel attached to the barn). I had one other large empty pole barn so the horses still had shelter. I rebuilt another small barn as those old bank barns can never be replaced! I remarried in 2010 and my family grew from 2 kids to 4 and my furry family grew as well. Some horses came and went although I am not someone who buys and resells horses, I found homes for rescues once they were ready or if a horse I bought ended up not being a good fit for us I would find a better home for them. My first horse, Spirit, passed away from chronic colic after having a foal in 2014 and ended up going septic. When I added goats to my farm and needed to come up with a herd name, I named my farm after Spirit. I looked into registering as a non-profit organization with the government and becoming a 501(c)(3) but this is my personal home and farm and registering as a 501(c)(3) business gives the government control and if the business ever "went under" they could force me to sell my barns! Plus it costs over $1000 ($1800 if I have someone do it for me) to register a business and become a 501(c)(3) which I can't afford. Even if I could afford that, I would rather put that money toward the animals! I no longer am able to take in rescues as 1) Every penny comes out of my own pocket and I can no longer afford the expense to rehab horses who are emaciated and/or with health issues. 2) Wish the addition of our breeding stallion and foals each year, I don't have room for more. I will still offer transport for rescues to a rescue facility as I have a large 4 horse trailer and hope to one day be able to rescue again, Lord willing. Animals I now own are-
6 horses: Gunner (dun, cowbred Quarter Horse gelding); Gambit (dark bay/white, Tennessee Walker gelding); Pneuma (palomino, Tennessee Walker/Haflinger/Quarter Horse cross mare); Raine (registered blue roan/gray, solid Paint Horse mare); Storm (black/white Tennessee Walker gelding); Legend (registered Fewspot Appaloosa stallion).

6 Nubian Dairy goat does: Courtney, Ebony, Reckoning, Parris, and 2 as yet unnamed.

1 Nubian buck: Bodie.

4 Dogs: Dangleberry AKA Berr (registered apricot Anatolian Shepherd neutered male); Athena (registered fawn with liver mask Anatolian Shepherd spayed female); Phantom (registered cream and white neutered Doberman male); Reckless (registered black brindle Cane Corso neutered male).

4 barn cats: Jet (striped neutered tabby); Jo (black and white spayed female); Jack (striped grey male); and Vodka (lilac point Siamese spayed female)

Layer Chickens one of which has been named Rose.

The way to a foal’s heart isn’t through their stomach, it’s through neck scratches!

I'm changing the roation of pasture time so I can have the foals in the paddock during the day, making it easier for me to work with them. So the best time to see them out in the field is in the morning. Sundays they will be out longer as I'll wait till after church to bring them in. Both are still available and will be ready to wean end of August. Get your deposit on one now!

Had some crazy lady stop by and ask if her daughter could ride my horses! Ummm... let me think about that for a sec, HECK NO! I directed her to look up a riding stable as they have the proper liability forms, insurance, and trained lesson horses. Not sure how old the daughter was but I think she was an adult as the lady looked on the older side. Like I'm going to let total strangers ride my horses, especially people who aren't experienced riders! Then again, experienced riders aren't going to go up to random farms with horses, asking to ride them! I think she might have been drunk! I also get people wanting to pet the foals like they're big dogs and they can just walk in the field and cuddle with them. We put a lot of time and work into earning their trust, babies AND mommas to be able to do that but it puts a lot of stress on them for strangers to come into the field and mess with their babies. You wanna drive by and see them, even stop by the fence and take pics, that's fine. If you're interested in buying a foal then sure, you're more than welcome to come see them but that also means you're someone who knows horses and know how to behave around them.

Might have to wait a few months for the "news". Things are backed up and I don't want to announce anything before it happens. It won't really make a difference for you but it will for me ;)

Our Story

Hi! My name is Sarah and I live in northeast Indiana. Spirit Wind Farm is my little hobby farm that currently consists of 7 horses, 4 Nubian dairy goat does, 1 Nubian buck, around 5 chickens, 2 Anatolian Shepherd Dogs, a Doberman, a Standard Poodle, an indoor cat, and a barn cat. And whatever goat and horse babies I have fore sale. I've always been passionate about horses and bought my first horse, Spirit, in 2005. I bought my second horse, Gunner, a year later. I lived in town so I had to board my horses for 2 years until I found a place in the country. I am legally blind and was a young widowed mother so my horses were my therapy. The 4 acre property I bought came with a horse, Shade, so my little herd grew to three. The huge bank barn was complete with a rooster so I bought a few more chickens.

I remarried in 2010 and my family grew from 2 kids to 4 and my furry family grew as well. Although I don’t buy horses to resell, I find home for rescues once they're ready. If a horse I buy ends up not being a good fit for us I would find a better home for them and I have 2 mares I breed and sell their foals. My first horse, Spirit, passed away from chronic colic and ended up going septic after having a foal in 2014.

Even if I could afford that, I would rather put that money toward the animals! Any and all donations of any kind for rescues are still needed and greatly appreciated! (NOTE: I currently do not have any rescues due to the lack of funds and space.) Rescues I have had can be seen in their own album in the photo albums section. Animals I now own for life, Lord willing, are- 7 horses: Gunner (dun, cowbred Quarter Horse gelding), Isis (“white”, Arab/Quarter Horse cross mare), Gambit (dark bay/white, Tennessee Walker gelding), Pneuma (palomino, Tennessee Walker/Haflinger/Quarter Horse cross mare), Raine AKA Mist Moore Scotch (blue roan solid paint mare), Storm (dark bay/white Tennessee Walker gelding), and Legend AKA Ghostwind Starfall (white few spot Ghost Wind Appaloosa stallion). 4 Nubian Dairy goat does: Martini, Faith (for sale due to downsizing), Abercrombie, and Daiquiri 1 Nubian Dairy goat buck- Bernie 4 Dogs: Dangleberry AKA Berr (apricot Anatolian Shepherd neutered male), Athena (fawn with liver mask Anatolian Shepherd spayed female), Phantom (cream and white Doberman intact male), and Prince (black Standard Poodle intact male). An indoor cat, Vodka (Lilac Point Siamese, spayed female)
