We had to lay our Jellybean to rest today💔 We are relieved to know he is no longer in pain from the arthritis and chronic health issues he’s suffered from for years, but will miss him greatly here at the farm. The last picture is him stepping onto our trailer the day we brought him home 7 years ago. Rest easy, our sweet and stubborn old man. I hope you’re running free with your friends that left ahead of you🌈❤️‍🩹

Horse riding is a form of exercise and aids physical wellbeing – but there are mental health benefits of horse riding too, including reducing anxiety

Thankful to have awesome clients that are committed to learning all aspects of horsemanship rather than just riding! When this student’s favorite horse, Rose, was unable to do ridden work she was happy to do a ground lesson and learn how to take equine vital signs and how to palpate for pain. 🐴😊

Lots of trees down at the farm and the barn is very flooded but we are thankful that the horses and other critters are safe. Lots of cleaning up to do over the next few days!

✨Exciting news!✨. We have scheduled new fall dates for our equine-assisted reading and writing workshop, Saddle up for Stories! We are offering two of these group sessions for elementary aged kids; one focusing on fiction and descriptive writing (10/5/24), while the other will focus on nonfiction and informational writing(10/19/24)! Both sessions will run 9:00am-12:00pm. 📕These sessions will combine experiential activities with the horses, such as reading to the herd and mounted games, with educational exercises to boost your kiddos literacy and writing skills. The themes of our writing portion of the sessions will be inspired by the horses and our farm environment as we explore topics like horse care, horse body parts, and tack!📕 These sessions will be facilitated by Lacy Hester alongside Rebecca Keck, a licensed elementary teacher with a passion for helping kids thrive. Visit our website for details/pricing info and email [email protected] to book! 🐴😊

We’ve got an opening for one boarder at Roam Acres Farm! Gelding preferred but will consider a mare who gets along well in a mixed herd.
We offer a partial self-care, co-op style, arrangement where the boarder takes on a set number of feeding and stall cleaning shifts per week in exchange for a lower boarding rate. Boarder provides their own grain/hay/shavings. Reasonable monthly rate is determined by how often you’d like to commit to feed/clean. We are looking for a responsible horse owner that enjoys having a hands-on involvement in their horse’s care and can communicate well!

Boarding includes stall and pasture, our horses are stalled overnight and kept outside during the day. Owners will bring horses in during day if there is bad weather. We feed grain twice daily, and hay 3 times daily. Boarder will have access to our round pen and outdoor arena, may store any tack/grooming supplies in our tack room, and may store hay in our hay shed.

Owners live on site and have decades of horse experience. We are very vigilant and check on our horses frequently. Lessons/training available at an additional cost. We do run a small riding lesson and equine assisted mental health program on the farm, so there is an option (for the right horse- at owners discretion) to be used in our program to keep your horse lightly exercised and to slightly lower monthly rate.
