Hi Boarder Family! It’s time for our annual gift drive for The Forgotten Angels and we are off to a great start!!

The Forgotten Angels is a local charity (501.c.3) that focuses on the elderly in nursing homes.
They work with the Activities Directors of the low income nursing homes to provide and deliver Christmas gifts to residents who may otherwise not receive a gift. Help us make Christmas special for the elderly in our local nursing homes (no candy, please). Collection bins are located at the north barn and east barn for you to deposit your new, unwrapped gifts! Pajamas, slippers, robes, tshirts, socks, games, blankets, books, colored pencils, dusting powder, gift sets, throw blankets are just a few ideas! 🎄🎄🎄 Our goal is to beat last years donations, which was INCREDIBLE from everyone here at the farm. Thank you, in advance, for once again helping us bring some joy to our “Forgotten Angels.” 🎄🎄🎄

Hey all! Don’t forget about the devastation of Hurricane Helene! Just a reminder that people and animals are still in need and we want to help more! Our Go Fund Me campaign is still open to help those in Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida. We can also take Venmo and cash donations. So far, we have been able to deliver a tractor trailer load of Canadian hay in to Tennessee and we are hoping, with your help, to meet more of their needs with more hay, feed and farm supplies. To add insult to injury, temps are dropping and some areas are getting snow! Please help if you can! Our Go Fund Me Page is:

Attention Boarders with trailers parked/stored at the farm: effective November 1st, due to increased cost of road repair supplies, grass repairs, labor and a few other things, all trailers at the farm will incur a $50 monthly parking fee, payable with your monthly board. This may be a good time for those whose trailers have not moved in several years, to maybe market your trailer if you’re no longer using it. We wish to continue to properly maintain the property for your safety and enjoyment. Additionally, we ask that by November 1st, anyone with a trailer, please identify it with your name so that we can keep a trailer inventory list. I believe the best way to do this is by using duck tape with your name near the hitch. Thank you.

REMEMBER THAT YOUR HORSE NEEDS TO HAVE VACCINATIONS TWICE PER YEAR (once in spring and once in fall) AND COGGINS ONCE PER YEAR!!! Dr. Emily will be here this Wednesday, October 16th for Fall Vet Call. If you have not signed up yet, please do it now. If you are using a different vet, I will need a copy of your new vaccinations/coggins no later than Oct 31. No exceptions.
