Here in the hills of Sussex County our horses share 30 acres of fields, pasture, and woods. We are dedicated to their care and feeding. Though we are not a boarding facility, we do occasionally have horses boarded with us, and we always have room for a friend in need. The farm is registered with several agencies for disaster relief. Kind, rational horsemanship and a natural lifestyle for our horses are our focus. <BR> <P> <BR> <center><IMG SRC="fall99.jpg"> <BR> <BR> <BR> <P> <CENTER>In an effort to further the education of horse owners and horse lovers not able to own a horse just now, we offer a few links to sites of interest, some words of wisdom, a chance to search Yahoo! Auctions for more horse stuff, and a chance to share the love by clicking on the Animal Rescue Site's link and donating, at no cost to you, food to feed abandoned animals through North Shore Animal League and other, equally worthy organizations.
