Hey friends! πŸ‘‹β€‹πŸ’™ It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and life has shifted in some pretty big ways, so I wanted to share an update.

When this page started in 2020 as Five Feather Farm, we were overflowing with birds, goats, pigs, and all kinds of farm chaos. Over time, my life has undergone a huge pivot. My focus has shifted toward my long-term dream of working in veterinary medicine, and the farm has gotten a lot smaller and simpler to accommodate this new focus.

We’re down to about 20 chickens, 1 turkey, 1 pig, and 2 goats now… we’ve somehow ended up with 8 dogs (yes, really πŸ˜‚) and still have our 4 horses, which have truly become the heart of everything I do.

With that shift, I’ve launched a new passion project: Strategic Equine.

It’s where I’m focusing my energy now, on creating simple, beautifully designed tools for horse owners, including health record sheets, rehab trackers, first aid guides, and more. I’m also currently pursuing certifications in equine massage therapy and rehabilitation as I continue exploring the path toward vet school.

If you’re interested in horses, equine wellness, or just want to support this next chapter, I would love for you to follow along:

This page isn’t going anywhere. I’ll still share about the animals, the homestead, and the hilarious, chaotic moments that come with it all. But if you’ve been missing horse content (or want to see where life is taking me), come join me on the new page. β€‹πŸ’™

Thank you all for sticking with me through every version of this journey. Your support means more than you know. πŸ’™

We're using limestone screenings for the base of the barn and shop. When wet down and compacted, they create a very firm ground that provides drainage but doesn't get muddy πŸ™Œ

For some reason they all got dropped over by the shop site πŸ€” So many a trip was made to move some over so we could start laying them down!

The farm is finally getting an official barn!! 😍

We broke ground yesterday and received the approved building permit today! Now we can get the screenings down and get the pad ready for the barn install! 😍

A lot of the barn is going to be DIY and I plan to share every step along the way, so stay tuned!

Pie is just the best Daddy! He laid there quietly with Pumpkin while she had them and then just laid there "talking" to them as they came over to him. It was the sweetest thing πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή

It has been awhile since I've posted an update on Hope!

She is doing GREAT! She looks awesome and is slowly coming around to "enjoying" my company. She will touch my hand with her nose when I stick it out to her and I've been doing Liberty work with her so she will follow me around the round pen now. She is VERY slowly learning that human company is not a bad thing. But I have also not been consistent with working with her so I need to get better about that

I'm not sure if she was pregnant and had an early miscarriage, or if that belly was all worms/stretched out from previous pregnancies, but she is most definitely not pregnant now. She is looking mighty fit and trim! 😍

The newest mama, Alice, had her babies today!! 2 gorgeous blue eyed bucklings, and the 1 is the most handsome buckling I've ever seen with spots, blue eyes, and wattles! 😍

I'm in love. And NOW we are officially done having babies around here! 🀣
