Running Star Farm

08/16/2024

This is just a report on the situation that occurred about slandering about my Farm and my Animals. This was personal attack on me because I don’t put up with dramatic situations. And I will continue operate with a zero drama policy. My horses and Farm passed all allegations with flying colors. From MSPSA, Animal Control,and West Boyalston Police department. As for the 8 years I have been in Business I still have not received any Citation or any Infraction. Again I do things differently. I allow my Horses to be Horses. No Animals were seized. Nothing was wrong. I do not go out of my way to tell people how their horses should be kept because it is none of business. No one understands what is going on with Someone’s life. I would offer help if if I felt a person was struggling. But nothing more than that. And to see the train of disgusting remarks from uneducated people really took the last of my faith in Humanity. People just love to tear people apart and I do not understand this. For those that stood up for me and My Animals, Thank you. For all the people that tried to condemn me maybe should re think their part in this and how it makes a person feel. And when someone else is in need my doors are closed to every last person that had anything negative to say on that post. And you reep what you Sew. This is for

Every woman I know in Agriculture industry fits this description. The best kind of women on earth !
🐎🏇🐎🏇🐎🏇
"When you are perceived as a strong woman it is assumed that you do not need anything or anyone. You can bear everything; and will overcome whatever happens. You are looked upon to help carry burdens and when you share yours its labeled as negative.

She is not asked if she is tired, suffering or falling; or if she has anxiety or fear.

The strong woman is not forgiven for anything. If she loses control, she becomes weak. If she loses her temper, she becomes hysterical.

When a strong woman disappears for a moment, it is immediately noticeable, but when she is there, her presence is unappreciated.
The strength that is needed every day to be that kind of woman, is not noticed.

Honor, recognize, respect and thank the strong women in your life, because they also need to be loved and feel that they can rest."

~Cry of the Confined Horse~
by M. Van Puyenbroeck

Beyond the bars of my stall, I gaze upon the meadows ahead...
Yearning for freedom while the rhythm of changing seasons spread.
Craving the sun's warmth, the rain's touch, snow's embrace, and winds that bend...
Yearning for the earth beneath my hooves, longing to be a horse, my soul to mend..
Dreaming of galloping, playing and grazing freely without any ties.
Not for showmanship or egos' prize,
I snort and stomp in frustration against these binding chains..
Desiring to convey my nature, my thoughts, my pains.
You perceive but don't truly hear, my pleas falling on deaf ears.
You observe but fail to see, missing my needs and fears.
In the hush of the night, I softly repeat my plea...
I want to live as a horse should, unconfined, and free.
I envision running with companions under the moon's gentle glow,
Yet your eyes stay shut, ignoring my woe...
So I prance, kick and rear, trying to break through your wall..
Hoping you'll catch my cry, sense the hunger in my soul.
Beyond these bars, beyond these tight walls enclosing my plight,
exists a realm where I can soar to new heights in flight.
Not a tool for conquest, not a trophy for show...
Just a horse, longing to be unchained, to follow its own flow...

Happy fourth of july 🇺🇸 from the herd ❤️

I have a Doe that follows me all over the Farm. She is always interested what I’m doing. I have named Her Nialea❤️. And I’m pretty sure she has had Her baby because yesterday She saw me and took off , which in reality is good because I don’t want Her to get humanized. But 5 minutes later She came bouncing towards me. I think she hid her Fawn and then came to see me. I have tried chasing her away, ignoring her but she thinks it’s a game!!!🤦‍♀️. And then she will start bringing her babies and they will think humans are ok. I don’t what to do🤷‍♀️. I Love Her very much but I know our interactions can possibly put her and her future babies at risk😔. I’m not sure what to do. And NO I DONT FEED HER!!!

She gained extensive experience cleaning stalls and working at various stables, including Ridge Valley Stables and a farm in West Boylston, which she now runs.

After moving to Idaho at 18, Michelle's real education in horsemanship began. She worked at Diamond H Ranch and earned degrees in Animal Science and Veterinary Technology. She spent 11 years at Willowcreek Animal Hospital, becoming Lead Technician in a mixed animal practice. At 28, she trained her first horse, achieving success in Barrel Racing, Team Penning, and Sorting, winning over $70,000 and multiple titles.
