That’s a Wrap!
The filming of Emma’s Chance has wrapped, and we are missing all of the new friends that we met. Slowly we are returning to a new “normal” and getting our horses back into their routines. Anchor Man has seemingly enjoyed his “stay-cation” and is back to work. He threw a shoe on the first day of filming and sadly missed … Read More

Good-Bye Dear Friend-Shavers
We are struggling to find the words to adequately express our sorrow, loss, and profound grief in losing what is truly one of the best horses that we have ever been privileged to know, love, and serve. Shavers came to us 5 years ago. His family was going to euthanize him…and instead of putting down a healthy horse, the vet, … Read More
Joey and Buffy
Love, acceptance and protection can come packaged in unique, and often precious ways. Our very own naughty, loving, and frequently irreverent Joey has taken it upon himself to personally see to the upbringing and Charm Farm training of our resident orphan donkey, Buffy. This self-appointed guardian role is a bit ironic in that next to Buffy (who has yet to … Read More
Baby Bear is growing up!

We also know that rescue is not enough, and in order to find our horses permanent, safe and loving homes it is incumbent on us to do the heavy lifting. This means giving our horses the time to heal physically and emotionally, truly assess them, and provide the necessary … Read More
Happy Birthday Dear Kami!
Her mother was feral, very pregnant, and slaughter bound. We feel fortunate to have rescued and loved her, and we named her Darla. While we never touched her with our hands, we loved her with our hearts…and oddly she loved us back in the most remarkable way, by trusting her last foal to us. Darla was most intentional about allowing … Read More
