Snow day here at West Wind! Picture first are our weanlings. Leading the pack is a full brother to WCC WC Arrowhead’s Different Breed of Cat. In the middle, a filly out of WC The Cat Walk by Say Amen, on the other side a c**t by I’m Lookin and out of a Worthy Son mare. In the back another filly by I’m Lookin and out of an I’m A New Yorker mare!

Happy Thanksgiving! Giving thanks means also giving back! After Hurricane Helene, western North Carolina has been terribly damaged. With no idea how many animals are also suffering, we were able to take 32 round bales of horse quality hay and deliver it to Boone! Please remember today that while we give thanks for our blessings, we must always give back to our communities! Today we feel extra blessed for our incredible farm! If you are looking for ways to give back, we can put you in contact with several people who are in desperate need of help to care for these animals!
