Ceo Na Terra Gypsy Horse Farm: Our First Farm Blog

Good Morning Friends!

So, I decided to start a blog for the farm. Each morning I am so inspired by something that occurs here and it's a little much to fit into a sentence on a Facebook Post. I wanted to start our blog by telling you all a little bit about the farm and where we are headed. Our farm is located in Winchester, TN. We have been here for about three weeks and so much is happening! It is exciting to see all of the horses make there way home - something we have been waiting on for what seems like forever. The first to arrive after we moved in were Seren and Cannon, along with Frances and Mitchell. We also welcomed a new pup to the crew, a giant schnauzer baby named Roman. He fit right in with his brothers, Jack, a golden retriever, and Mr, Finnegan, a mini-schnauzer/yorkie mix. The boys take farm life very seriously, and Mr. Finnegan participates in all the farm chores. The biggest surprise arrival for us was that of Clononeen White Desert Prince - our Gypsy Stallion. We didn't expect Mr. Prince until late fall, and we were thrilled when we learned he would be arriving this summer.

It was with great anticipation that I awaited for Prince to arrive - would he be a manageable stallion? Would he be kind and respectful or was his arrival going to drastically change the dynamic of the farm? Well, I am surprised daily by the gentle soul that he is. I love all of the horses, but Prince is quite a special boy. Every day that I am working in the barn, he stays in their with me - he has the choice to leave and head to the pasture, but he prefers to stand by our side as work in the barn. He is very kind to the other animals and when he is in pasture, he spends it with Frances and Mitchell, our pygmy goats. All three dogs run under and around him and it doesn't phase him.

We are getting ready and eagerly await the arrival of our junior stallion, Shasta Gideon who we hope to see home in about a month.

The last to arrive, but certainly the most anticipated will be our group of ladies. We will be welcoming home Lightning and her baby Dior and also Fiddle. Lightning has been bred to Sundance again and we are so so happy that the baby will go home to Jennifer Rose in California when ready. Dior will make her way back to Maryland when she is ready to our dear friends, the Shove Family. Fiddle is bred to Jazz and that baby has been sold to an incredibly loving and deserving family :) I am so happy for all of our clients who are all part of our extended family :)

We are so very proud and happy to partner with Lexlin Ranch, Northern Lights Ranch, and Shasta H Ranch. We have a wonderful network in our friends at all three ranches and we quite simply love working with each and are honored to have found friendship in all. I sincerely hope that more people consider partnerships or at least networking. There is never a moment where I have all of the answers and I feel that I can give so much more to those that trust me to provide them the best for their families by being able to reach out to my friends and partners.

Lastly, we always, always thank God for our blessings and for the chance to share our gypsy love and other critters with you all. We do have some VERY, VERY, special surprises to announce and some of you who will read this already know what they are :) I better save those for later - what fun would it be if I tell you everything in the first blog post? :) There is nothing wrong with trying to guess though! I will give you a hint - it has to do with some ladies and some babies (and not a Calkins baby :).

We hope to meet all of our friends and we would love to have you visit our ranch. Please email, call, facebook, text - whatever works for you and let me know if you would like to come out and see our babies :)
