It’s been awfully rainy here at the farm this weekend. Thankfully we got the arena worked up and ready to go moments before storms hit yesterday. Journey, one of our lesson horses, got to participate in a photoshoot showing off a hat custom made from The Spunky Sorrel on Saturday, and is now enjoying some much deserved nap time out of the rain, along with the rest of the herd.
We still have a couple spots left for our Horse Ownership 101 Clinic this weekend, and will continue rain or shine as long as there isn’t lightning, as most activities will take place in the barn.
Due to popular request, we will be hosting another Horse Ownership 101 Class for those who were unable to attend this weekend at the end of September, along with one other surprise event!
Stay tuned for more big things coming soon, and contact us to join in on the fun!

You’ll also become a part of our God Given Farm family and have access to professionals who can provide guidance and support in your future with horses.

With the recent temperatures and humidity levels, it’s good to know how to calculate the heat index and important to understand when it is too hot/humid for work!
When we take the temperature and add it to the relative humidity, we can determine what activities are safe for our horses.
For example, this morning’s temperature and relative humidity indicated a high risk of overheating for our horses, so we stayed in the shade and kept things easy today!
81°F + 75% Humidity = 156

For our WEST VIRGINIA people!!⛰️

It’s Fourth of July week! 🇺🇸🎆 Don’t forget to plan accordingly for your equine partners.
Make sure they have a safe enclosure where they won’t get caught in any hazards if startled, plan your rides around potential fireworks, and contact your local vets or barns for more ideas on what plans you can have in place.
I would also like to compliment Journey on how well she is progressing and handling the chaos of construction on the farm. All of these things will help prepare her for holidays like this week!

A bit of an update on the farm since we’ve been so busy lately!
We completed our new hay loft for one side of the barn, which allowed us to raise the ceiling in half of the stalls! The loft floor is no longer full of holes to step in, and is much sturdier. We’ve been busy filling it with our first cut of hay, and just about have our whole winter supply put up already.
Construction on our home near the arena has made huge progress this week! As of now, things are ahead of schedule and may allow us to start booking on-site lessons soon! It’s been a great opportunity for desensitizing our lesson horses to even bigger construction than they’re used to seeing in the barn.
We had our annual vet visit for vaccinations, pulling Coggins, dental floats, and physical evaluations. Everyone is in great shape and our two newer mares pleasantly surprised the vet with how much they’ve improved both physically and in their training.
Finally, we had a visit from the West Virginia Crew, some of our students who have been with us for MANY years now who made the trip down from WV to spend a day at the farm. I love each and every one of my students, and am so thankful that I’m able to stay in touch with those who were a part of our program before we relocated to TN.
We are staying super busy with our off-site lessons and making a lot of progress with our client horses in training. Life at God Given Farm has been wonderful!
To schedule or get information about our lesson program, send us a message! We still have a few spots for off-site lessons for clients with horses. If you would like to be added to our waitlist for on-site lessons with our lesson horses, let us know!

Nothing quite like hauling off property to put training to the test! While Joy is a seasoned pro, Journey had her very first outing since moving to our farm. She blew my expectations out of the water! She was attentive, calm, and looked to me the entire time.
Not only is she physically improved, but she’s making leaps and bounds of progress mentally with her training.

We got our first field of hay bales and put up yesterday, just in time for the storms last night. Even though it’s hard work, having our own equipment and hay fields is such a huge blessing. We have almost half of our hay for the year now!

You don’t have to ride it out.
You don’t have to call it quits either.
Some days you just have to get down and do a little groundwork and hop back on.
If you think you should hop down, hop down…. It’s not a failure!!!!
It’s just taking a few moments to assess from a different angle.
When things feel safe and look good, remount.
If that’s not today, it might be tomorrow, but you’re not giving up and you’re not failing

05/05/2024
Things have been nothing short of crazy here at the farm over the past couple of weeks, but we have finally begun breaking ground. We hit a major and devastating roadblock last week, amidst so many other things. This whole process has been full of trials, frustration, and disappointment, to be completely honest.
However, at the end of last week, when the absolute worst possible thing that could happen happened, God came through. The entire project came to a halt, and we weren’t sure that it was going to resume. And then God stepped in. Over the weekend, things have come full circle, and all of the (hundreds of) roadblocks vanished. Not only is the project back on track, but it’s actually ahead of schedule. I wasn’t sure how this was possible after everything, but I’m being reminded daily that all things are possible through God!
While we’re not out of the woods yet, there is now a light at the end of this tunnel. We owe a massive thank you to our clients who have been so patient with us. Our lesson horses have been a little bit less patient about not having access to their stalls. We promise they have a large run-in shed, food, water, and plenty of attention, but this herd needs their beauty rest indoors😂 They’ve made it clear now that their barn is back, they have no intention of leaving!
My personal favorite Bible verse is Heb. 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Which reminds me to remain strong in my faith and not let my fears sway me in the storms.

First day in the big pasture!
First day in the big pasture as one big herd! Journey and Fern have been integrating well with Joy and Moon over the past few weeks in the 5+ acre pasture, so today was the perfect time to let everyone run in our 23+ acre pasture! This will allow them to get plenty of exercise and grass, while allowing them to avoid muddying up their smaller pastures during the winter. They all still enjoying coming in to their cozy stalls every night, but some extra freedom does a lot of good for everyone!

The chiropractor was arriving any minute for his adjustment this morning, but Pepper felt strongly that nap time was more important🤣 At least we can all relate!
![](https://img2.voofla.com/v/317/785/751138223177853.jpg)
Happy Easter! “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16 The horses enjoyed getting to explore a new pasture this afternoon. Pepper was kicking up his heels in excitement! This pasture is only around 5 acres in comparison to their 20acre pasture, so it will be a great option to have in the spring and fall! We are fully booked with lessons for the next two weeks. Don’t forget to book in advance to make sure your spots are reserved!

If you haven’t met Pepper, one of our top beginner lesson horses, this video is a perfect example of what his personality is like! He is such a goof! Our Instructor caught Pepper playing with our temporary markers for arena corners while working with her personal horse.
![](https://img2.voofla.com/v/832/001/662303058320017.jpg)
The horses are so excited to be together again! As you may notice, Chippy, the one who stays close to the paint, is the herd leader. The paint is a mare, and Chippy’s instincts encourage him to protect her, even from the other geldings. It’s so fascinating to watch them interact in the same (but a much calmer) way that they would in the wild. Watching horses communicate with each other using body language is how we can learn to communicate with them. This is one of our Instructor’s FAVORITE things to teach, as it is what separates the riders from true horsemen/women.
