How Horses Saved Me - and How They Can Save You, Too!

How Horses Saved Me - and How They Can Save You, Too!

Horses, Inspiration

Horses brought me out of the darkness from the loss of my dad and set me on a lifelong path in pursuit of the passion of being in their presence.

I am now incredibly fortunate to do what I love every day and introduce others to the joys of horseback riding through our trail riding program at Foxfire Farm!

Exploring the great outdoors through trail riding adventures offers a unique way to connect with nature and your inner self. 

Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, trail rides provide numerous benefits for both your physical and mental well-being. 

Let’s explore them!

Kids + horses = self-confidence

Learn how!

Your kids will love re-creating the fun, joy, and learning of a working farm.

I love sharing my farm with kids each year, and they love it, too.

Their confidence grows throughout the week - it’s truly thrilling to see.

The kids learn how to feed horses, ducks, Oreo and Pinkie the pigs, and chickens.

They get to ride one of our horses each day.

The kids wait in anticipation to see if they get Cooper, Gandalf, or Belle who are the favorites.

Over our Spring Break Camp, I watched one of our 7-year old boys gently brush Gandalf rather than run on the playground with his buddies or hang out on his phone.

The horse was his new buddy.

What a joy to see a little boy loving a horse so much.

Horses do that to you. They steal your heart.

I watched one of our 10-year old little girls work with our horse, Belle. This shy girl's face lit up as she told the horse to "Walk on."

What a joy to see new-found confidence in her words and her actions.

She was a different girl.

She was no longer shy - the horses did exactly what she told them to.

Talk about leadership qualities!

I stood by amazed - she’d learned these life skills that she can take out to the non-horse world for the rest of her life.

Horses do that to you. They make you a better person.

Do you want your daughter or son to have a life transformation this summer too?

Inspiration, Horses

One of my favorite parts of owning a farm that offers unique horseback riding adventures is all the special milestones that our guests have celebrated with us and our animals. I love being the place that stands out in their memory when they think of some of their happiest times.

We have had engagements, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Days, Mother's Days - even a long-awaited divorce finalization (hey, anything can be a celebration with the right mindset!) - all commemorated here. I often think back on them and get that warm fuzzy feeling knowing that we played a part.
