Contrarily to what is commonly believed, we don’t need to control every single aspect of our horses' life and choices in order to have a responsive partner.⁣ We don't need forced domination to get their cooperation.
Yes, horses are surely big powerful animals who can have strong dangerous reactions appearing to be unpredictable to the untrained eye and that's why people attempt to control any potential threat to feel safe. And to do this they generally force horses to control their emotions by suppressing their fear, just as it happens with common methods like Flooding, when a scary stimulus is inflicted over and over to them with no opportunity for escape or relief, until they appear to accept it, giving a sensation of being in control. But in reality in this way they aren't truly accepting or learning anything, while they are just shutting down in a sort freeze mode...until the moment when they may suddenly explode by dangerously releasing all together the energy that they had tried to internalize when there was no escape. Or also they may completely stop reacting to everything by becoming “dead broke”, with no more light in their eyes, no more connection, no more love, no more trust with anyone, as this is the price to pay in order to be “under control"...
While it was enough to stop forcing them to suppress their feelings, asking them instead to communicate their emotions in the right way, to open a dialogue giving them choices too, by guiding them through their fears, by giving them the opportunity to say No…so that they can finally say Yes for real in a true willing partnership based on mutual understanding and trust 💗

We’re truly counting our blessings over here & are so incredibly thankful for each & every one of you who made our first Farmsgiving event very special 🧡

First, let’s give a thunderous applause to Mother Nature for holding back the rain, allowing us to come together & celebrate in the spirit of Thanksgiving 👏🏻 Now most importantly a massive mountain size thank you to you, our incredible guests, vendors, & volunteers. Your support, kindness, & love for our farm brought this event to life!

We are beyond excited to announce that thanks to your generosity, we raised $140, which will go directly toward our horses’ farrier expenses, ensuring their hooves stay in tip top shape every 6 weeks. Another heartfelt thank you to all those who took a gift tag to participate in our Sanctuary Santa. Your support will bring Christmas joy to our animals & will definitely make their spirits bright!

We’re so thankful for this amazing community we’ve built in our little corner of the internet! Here’s to our next & last event of the year Christmas on the Farm ❤️

Oh! Almost forgot. If you took any photos, we would love for you to tag us - we'd love to see them! Also, please consider leaving a review of your experience at our farm. We truly appreciate your feedback!

Name me a better love story than these two right here ❤️ Was love a first sight for Miss Molly as soon as we got Mister Bones back in June 18, 2022.

Well Bones’ cut is slowly but surely getting better! We are continuing with cleanings (water, hydro peroxide, Neosporin, & covering with gauze then M3 vetrap). He’s officially off of stall & offset rest & is now with the others in their pasture 🎉
