Hello Everyone!

So we're trying to do something here at the farm and get started and we'd really like your help.

We are working on creating a 24/7 livestream of our animals as a family friendly way of having people connect and learn about them. and how they behave. We are doing this with the intent of creating a stream that boasts Animal ASMR, Nature ASMR and Visual ASMR and are hoping that this brings a sense of peace to individuals watching.

While we're in the beginning stages (we're working on adding more cameras for better viewing) we do have a stream up and available on Twitch and are currently attempting to also stream to YouTube in the near future as well.

If you would like to help us out in our adventure, please follow us on our Twitch channel. We really would appreciate the views and the follows.

Sunny Weather to come! Thank Goodness!

I cannot recommend Jake West Farrier Service, LLC enough. We had a WONDERFUL experience with him and absolutely love his willingness to work and to teach.
Jake was so caring and kind to our rather touchy Belgian draft who can be a bit on the picky side with his feet. The first thing Jake did was to love on Henry and take time to calm him down and have him relax. He never once forced Henry or made him uncomfortable, instead he actually made sure that Henry had breaks, was able to put his foot down and rest and then picked right back up. He didn't give up when Henry was being a pain and just instead stopped, loved on him and spoke to him in a really calm and collected manner and gathered Henry's trust.
Jake really went the extra mile with our big boy and I feel like by the end of the whole process he really had developed a connection with Henry.
I honestly am just so impressed with Jake's work and the way that he took his time, didn't rush and made sure that my big boy was comfortable. If you are ever in need of a Farrier a horseman and understands horses call Jake.

Both Henry and Ranger were seen by our vet today, "Falling River Large Animal Services" and let me tell you both of them were the bestest boys during their checkup. They stand so quietly and are such well behaved gentlemen that we didn't even need to have them in crossties during the exam.

Both of them are strong, sound and well rounded and are extremely healthy. Our vet stated that had he not checked their teeth he wouldn't have placed them at 15 and 14 years old, they seem so much younger than they are.

We couldn't be happier with these boys and we love them so much. Both of them are just a blessing and are so wonderful.

If anyone is looking for a draft horse, or a draft cross we highly recommend that you check out Draft Horse Placement and the horses that they have. Both of our boys are so wonderful. They are very upfront and honest about the horse, its medical history, their temperament and what the horse is able to do. They are literally a blessing and made purchasing these two boys easy and great and even have been so responsive to questions that we had after our purchase. We DEFINATELY will be coming back to purchase more horses from them in the future. We cannot recommend them enough.
