Monte is a tri-colored registered Spotted Saddle mare that is extremely opinionated and anxious at times. Monte has been a mother to two beautiful fillies, one of which is “Chari”. She has personally experienced grief and loss as a mother when she lost her first offspring. Monte has been very slow to develop trust with humans or her herd mates and her trust can vanished with the smallest of infractions. She is often a loner in her field and is very clear if she doesn’t want a particular horse next to her when she is in her stall. She chooses who she works with and what she is willing to do with positive enthusiasm on any given day.
BF Cheyenne Mountain Melody (Melody) DOB 6/10/10
Melody is a chocolate Rocky Mountain Filly with a flaxen mane and tail. She is quite the looker and most that come to the farm spot her first. Melody had a lot of quiet strength and is quick to learn. She easily trusts humans and other horses. Often we quietly observe how she operates within and views her world. She is an inspiration and a role model for others.
IN MEMORIAM: BAF Misddi’s Itar (Itar) 1979-2016
Itar is a grey, registered Half-Arabian gelding that fills our heart every day as we share life with him in retirement. He has been with us since his birth when my daughter was five years old. He has taught my daughter, granddaughters and many others how to ride. During this process, he also taught them many of life’s lessons that I will forever be grateful. Lessons such as patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, joy, freedom, friendship and love were just a few that he made sure each one understood. Itar has a lot of wisdom and reminds us every day that “being present with others is important.”
Honey is a black Tennessee Walking mare that came to live with us in 2012 after the death of her previous owner. She is a quiet mare with a huge capacity to provide love and support to others. Many clients have been drawn towards Honey so they can experience her love firsthand. She is co-owned in partnership with Touched by a Horse (Melisa Pearce) and Bellamy Farms (Carolyn Fitzpatrick).
Chari is a tri-colored registered Spotted Saddle Filly. She was born with medical conditions that made us realize the likelihood of her having a short life span was very real. She shows us every day “to be aware of the here and now” and make the most of it without becoming anxious about what tomorrow may bring your way. Chari craves attention and becomes somewhat worrisome if she doesn’t get as much as she feels is warranted. She has always been very trusting and exhibits real authenticity.
