One of the direct ship horses that left a few weeks ago. He was resting in the sand arena and didn’t mind the company of Savannah and Prestonn ❤️

I am away for work for 2 weeks. Please be patient with us answering messages.

We should be getting a load of direct ship horses today, at least that’s what I’ve been told, for everyone who’s been asking. As always they’ll be posted in the group page as we get to them.

Our farm has sustained significant damage, mainly flooding during the last week. I was going to make a post about it but considering the amount of devastation from the hurricane in the western Carolina’s and Tennessee, I felt bad even saying anything and our problems are nothing compared to what’s happened there. We’ve had some damage to our sheds and run ins and our farm lies at the lowest point in our community of farms here so we get all the runoff. We’ve had issues with our sump pump, flooding of paddocks to where we can’t even use some of them, a pond in our front yard with ducks on it - and we don’t even have any ducks!, also the mud has been overwhelming to the point that we’ve had multiple horses stuck in the mud and we had to get a tractor to get them out. The new group of horses today will be living full time in our arena 🫠

I didn’t make this post for sympathy or fundraising for us - again because there are so many people who are so much worse off than us and I want people to continue to donate towards them and also we will have new slaughter horses coming in that need funds as well.

The reason I’m posting this is because many of you need to learn some patience when it comes to us answering your messages.
All of this that has happened, happened while I was out of town for work. When I go out of town I cannot take most calls and cannot answer messages - and I’m usually the one who handles that. That leaves us with one person here doing all the work and answer by people.
I flat out told a few people who messaged me to call Dwayne and provided his number and explained I was working out of town and they continued to call and message me repeatedly. I don’t know if they’re ignorant or rude or just plain stupid - which we all know you can’t fix but it’s ridiculous.

Please be patient with us. With all that is going on constantly, answering messages is our lowest priority.

I got home late Sunday and was sick in bed all day yesterday. I’m still sick but am up and moving today at least and am starting to get to messsges. I’m working on contacting everyone from silent auction and will beginning shipping things tomorrow.

Thanks to Dr. Tara, Dr. Hannah and Dr. Sarah who all volunteered today at our farm on their day off.
Thanks to them we were able to geld 3 donkeys and a c**t, trimmed several feet, cleaned sheaths, 6 dental floats, coggins and health certs and neutered several of our barn cats and best of all - spayed the mom farm cat 🙌🏻
Also enough rabies vaccines were donated for the entire farm - equine and feline!

Gelding horses and donkeys helps them to have such a better life. ❤️

(I should have had a lot more pictures but all my help went to the rescheduled homecoming football game today at noon and I was too busy to take more photos than what was shown here - which is fine 🙃)

And on a side note - we have 4 eight week old male kittens looking for good homes and 3 of the 4 have bobtails and are EXTRA “cheeky” 😅

Anybody looking for a good riding mule - large pony size??

A good mule is hard to find. Go to direct ship group page for details!

I don’t know how this guy is still here! He was in the 4th if July parade, was a camp favorite every week this summer, did a barrel race and a few horse shows. Benji is a 20 yo, 13.1 hand welsh cross gelding who is blind in his left eye but has perfect vision in his right. He’s safe for beginners and will walk trot canter jump crossrails and loves trail riding. He’s utd on vaccines, dewormed, feet trimmed and teeth will be floated Saturday. We’re enjoying him but for an extremely low fee for what he is someone can have their own perfect camp /lesson pony. Fee in the comments. He has no soundness issues other than his left eye. No maintenance and easy keeper.

Anybody looking for a good riding mule - large pony size?? A good mule is hard to find. Go to direct ship group page for details!

15 yo Paso Fino gelding. 14 hands. This horse is so much fun. He’s my kids favorite of all on the farm. He’s not for a total beginner but he’s not difficult either. He’s happiest in a bitless bridle. He’s great in the ring and out on trails. He’ll lead or follow. He’s a point and shoot type of ride and has no soundness or maintenance issues. This boy is one of the best and a real life unicorn. He’s not keen on being sprayed with the hose but that’s about it. Three-zero-zero-zero

Trot sets at camp today

Here’s a large and a medium - both camp ponies that are available now 👀

Daisy over fences

15 yo pinto pony mare. 12.1 hands. Rides and drives. She was pulling a buggy for a long time but is very well broke to ride. She walks trots and canters easily and is great in a group or by herself, in a ring or in the open. She’ll jump all the jumps in the ring or on the cross country course. She’s been on trails and out with the hounds. Nothing bothers her. She has excellent ground manners and is quiet to be led, groomed and tacked up. Anyone can handle her. Good for farrier. We’ve used her for pony club and 4H. She’s the best pony. Her super low price is one five zero zero and it’s going up the longer she’s here.

20 yo hackney mare. 12.1 hands. Rides excellent also drives. Schooling courses in the ring and out. Hack great as well. Goes better in a bitless bridle but can also go in a snaffle. Very sweet and easy to handle on the ground. She’s been here for a few months and doing lessons, pony club and 4H. Two-four-zero-zero

Gaited Trail Horse Deluxe! 15 yo Spotted Saddle Horse mare. 15.2 hands and chunky. This is a fantastic horse that is suitable for any level rider. Excellent ground manners and is an easy keeper. 100% sound and No vices. Two-five-zero-zero

19 yo hackney gelding. 12 hands. Rides and drives. Excellent small pony and the happiest little soul. Good ground manners and zero soundness issues. Goes out in company and barefoot is fine with him too. And he absolutely adores all the donkeys! Two two five zero

18 yo appendix mare. 15.3 hands. Very well broke to ride and one hand neck rein. English or western. Good in the arena and out on trails. She’s a lot of fun to ride and very easy to make stop or go. We think she’s an old games horse. She is friendly and well mannered. She doesn’t like to stand still with a rider on her, she prefers to keep walking but otherwise is quiet and good for advanced beginners and up. We’ve used her for lessons, 4H and pony club events. Photos in the comments. Two five zero zero
