Hidden Hills Farm & Saddle Club

Hidden Hills Farm & Saddle Club Dedicated to encouraging the love of horses, farming, and outdoor life
(341)

We offer boarding services, riding lessons, and events on our 600 acre farm just 20 minutes north of downtown Chattanooga. We are dedicated to growing a community of riders that value safety; responsibility; solid riding skills; natural, leadership-based human-horse interaction; and the beauty, freedom, and fun of both horses and the outdoors. We also enjoy natural living and sustainable farming a

s a way of life, and produce our own weed-free fescue/mixed grass hay; sell summer produce from our vegetable gardens; and sell fresh eggs from our free range hens.

Kids … they’re all the same! And some just stay kids at heart forever (or refuse to grow up…)!

Our iconic sheep, Smudge, didn’t make it after a very difficult and discouraging birthing yesterday.

We were given Smudge, a mixed breed bottle baby, back in 2018. Being a bottle baby, she was one of our few friendly sheep. As such; she spent many an hour tied up and subjected to countless curious hands marveling at the feel of wool, taking it quite gracefully, I think…if anything about a sheep is graceful! All in all, she was a ridiculous critter. The noises that came out of her mouth were never anything less than shocking; we’d often find her looking less-than-intelligent with her head framed in the tire swing or the plastic playhouses; her wool was shaggy and useless (but she was, after all, a hair sheep, not bred for wool); and she was a pretty terrible mother, often rejecting at least one of her babies. But, with all that, she will forever be a part of memories and probably forever be my profile pic on Venmo.

Smudge, 2018-2/5/2025.

I saw an aerial winter picture of the farm awhile back and noticed the lines of hay in the pastures. (I always feed out hay in lines so the horses can spread out and not fight over the food so much.). So I decided to have a little fun with feeding this winter . . . (Not quite Van Gogh, but . . . Hay!)

Daffodils are some of my favorite flowers, and I’d planted quite a number at the Edgmon farm. When we moved, boarder Melissa and instructor Jessie dug up as many of the bulbs as they could and put them in buckets of dirt for safe keeping until we could find them a new home. The other day, I finally got around to planting the first hundred or so on the pond dam. Can’t wait til spring to see how they do!

Our lesson horses come to us from a variety of situations. Rocky is one that we were able to lease for the last 4 years or so. His owners were ready for him to be returned, so today we said goodbye and happy retirement to this sweet old man. He served us well!

I know this is a few days old, but it’s sooo funny! These young chickens were NOT impressed with the snow!! They didn’t venture out to the cow barn for two days.

Ok, last of the goat posts! (No promises, though.) You’d think all we have is goats, but that’s not true. They just happen to be the cutest thing going right now. We currently have 11 babies, and I think that’s it for the season. It was 13, but sadly, one new mama had a stillborn, and tragically, one of the first ones jumped into the calf water and drowned. Needless to say, we’re keeping the water lower for a time. That’s farming for you.

Side note: if anyone wants a fainting goat or two to join your family, we just *might* have some for sale! They can be taken now as bottle babies, but it’s best if they’re at least 6-8 weeks old, so March would be good!

Elsa is doing great! She and her mama have spent the past few days cocooned in the horse trailer with a heat lamp, and I think she’s about ready to go spend a day, at least, with her six cousins.

Here’s Elsa, last night’s baby, and some of the other youngsters and chickens warming this morning on the sunny side of the shed. 7 babies so far! Wish the rest would have their babies during the day!

Sometimes we sleep, and sometimes we spend the night making sure the newborns are stable and warm.

For those coming to play day today, you’ll notice a lot of heavy machinery at work. We’re excited to see the major dirt work coming to a completion and can’t wait to put this part of the farm project behind us, though we have been beyond grateful for the work being done. With that said, your kids may enjoy watching the dump trucks and dozers at work from a safe distance!

Come enjoy another fall morning with us for Play Day this Thursday!

These dewey fall mornings have accentuated the work going on at the farm - the spider’s and ours! We’ve been working on our own “web” of fencing this month, trying to finish the next 10,000 feet before December. Then we’ll be finished with a little over 2/3 of the long term goal! 😅

Oh my goodness! It’s a perfect fall day for Play Day! And today we get excavator rides since the operator is on Fall Break!

Make sure to follow the written directions to the farm since Pine Hill Road at Lee Highway is still closed.
