The Farm

Tucked into a valley between 2 hills, Dancing Horse Farm (DHF) was built in 1993. It started off with just a 4 stall barn, and has grown to 10 stalls (and will NOT grow bigger!). There is a round pen, riding ring, fields, pastures and paddocks, and easy access to miles of trails.

In upcoming posts, I will be introducing the current residents of the farm. Right now there are 10 horses, 2 goats, 1 cat, 2 parrots, and 3 dogs (with many more occasional doggy visitors). Right now they are all looking forward to Christmas. Each horse has their own stocking on their stall door, just waiting for Santa to fill it. The goats share a stocking of their own...

We had some ground work done this fall as you can see. We made new pasture and dried up some of the pasture we already had. The horses seem to be enjoying it! We also put dutch doors in some of the stalls so the horses can go in and out in good weather. That is working out really well! You can see a photo of the doors in the previous post.

The crazy thing is - no snow yet! Not that I'm complaining, I really hate having to plow, but it is odd and everyone is getting tired of the rain and mud... I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Mother Nature hits us! The nice weather has been great for some things. Yesterday the hay guys brought 320 bales to top off the loft. We shouldn't need more until summer! We also were able to ride a lot this fall which was fantastic!

Anyway, watch for the next post, I will tell you about the horse who started Dancing Horse Farm with me...
