Meet Our Farm

Horses & Ponies

Nemo

Meet Nemo, One of the farm favorites. Nemo was adopted from Cape Fear Equine Rescue after a very rough beginning. He came to us unbroke and a bit timid and is now our best most popular "pony" for pony rides and a sweet gentle soul.  Nemo's kindness knows no bounds, and his gentle nature makes him a pillar of tranquility in our barn. We feel like he knows he has a life full of love and attention and all the food he needs and shows his appreciation every day.

Pandora (a.k.a. Dory)

Meet Dory, the charming blue roan quarter horse with dapples too! Dory is a beloved member of our equine family. Her fondness for treats and insatiable desire for attention make her a heartwarming presence in our stables, where she never fails to brighten our days. Dory's ability to reciprocate the love she receives is evident in her sweet kisses, a gesture she readily shares with anyone who extends a hand. 

Silver

Meet Silver, the barn's resident goofball. His love for attention is boundless, and he thrives on being the center of everyone's focus. While he is a white Tennessee Walker, he tends to get painted a lot with bathtub soap so you can often see a pastel hue to his coat even after daily baths in the summertime!  Silver's friendly nature is a beacon of warmth, welcoming all with a hearty snort and head tilt to a friendly nudge. His antics and playful spirit serve as a constant reminder that a little

Oliver

Oliver is visiting. His owner moved to the area after selling his farm and wanted a fun stress free place for Oliver to enjoy during the transition. Oliver is a big young boy that is always curious and ready to meet new people and new animals. He enjoys playing with our mini donkeys and has the sweetest personality.  We hope he stays for a long time! 

Misty

Meet Misty, one of our mini ponies, who plays a nurturing role as the mother of Stormy, and her gentle, somewhat timid nature adds a touch of sweetness to our stable. She and Stormy were rescued right before getting sent to auction.

Misty reminds us that even the most reserved souls can open up when treated with love and kindness.

Her rich, chocolate-colored coat and soulful eyes make her an absolute charmer, but it's her unwavering friendship with Shadow that truly defines her.

With a gentle disposition and the speed to keep up with her brother, she's a lively companion. However, her true joy lies in the undivided attention of her human friends. Hops revels in being snuggled, pampered, and showered with love, often placing a paw on you when it's time for some extra affection.

Phoenix

Meet Phoenix, our Rottweiler puppy! She is new to the farm (and the world) and is already proving to be a great farm dog. She has no fear, knows no strangers and is always ready for fun. She wants to paly with the donkeys and horses a bit too much right now, but she will eventually be allowed to run free with Barley and Hops... For now, the hay brn is a safe place for her at the farm!
