My parents and grandpa bought me Nova on July 15th 2014. He was 9 years old when we got him, he is now 19. He is an American Warmblood. He was bred to jump and loves it. Before I got him, he competed in the jumper’s division. I slowly transitioned him to hunter jumpers. We showed competitively and was given the opportunity to work with a few different hunter jumper trainers. We were on our track to compete the A circuit. In 2017 Nova sustained an injury playing in the pasture. I had to retire him from showing, and jumping at a competitive level. Since then, we have competed small shows, went trail riding, and are now learning Liberty. Since day one he has been a goofy, loving, and extraordinary horse. At Wild Paint Equestrian, he is our main lesson horse. He is great for beginners because he is super safe. But, Nova is great for all levels. He has a wide range of albites that will accommodate novice to advance riders. so much that there is plenty anyone can learn from riding him. I couldn’t ask for a better teaching partner.

Indy is our newest addition; she was given to us to use in our lesson program.  She is best suited for an intermediate rider. She loves to go through obstacle courses and has no fear. She is very sweet and loves to be groomed. Indy loves to talk; she neighs at me every time I come outside. Her neighing is usually followed by Butchie braying too. Indy is gaited, so we think she is a Tennessee Walker mixed with something else. Her pace is so smooth and comfortable. She is so much fun to ride.

We rescued Butchie on February 13, 2022 from a kill pen. Butchie is a 3-year-old donkey, which is in training to be able to be ridden. Our goal for him is to be able to teach lessons on him one day. For the last year, his main job has been learning the basics of liberty and having fun. He loves to get treats, and he loves to talk to anyone who comes up the driveway.

Moose is a Pitbull mix we rescued from an animal shelter. He is 2 years old, and a couch potato if he isn’t outside. When he is outside, he loves to wrestle with his brother, Bandit.

Bandit is a Texas heeler we rescued for an animal shelter. He is 2 years old and has a ton of energy all the time. He loves to play fetch and chase a lunging whip for hours.

Milo is four years old.  I got him received a friend when he was 8 weeks old. He is a sassy boy, and only likes love on his terms. When I do my night check of the horses, he always waits by the window watching for me.

Candy corn we rescued when he was a few weeks old. He is a big boy and with a large appetite. Candy corn is 2 years old. He is very friendly and loves to cuddle. He is also very playful and enjoys going into his tunnel and jump out at you while you’re walking by.

Cheeto we rescued when he was a few days old. Cheeto is 2 years old. He is very goofy and acts more like a dog than a cat. He will be the first to greet you when you come inside the house and will want to be picked up right away.

We have three bunnies on the farm. Pumpkin and Patch live with the chickens. Peanut lives on the other side of the chicken pen. We got Pumpkin and Patch at Gust Brothers pumpkin patch. Pumpkin and Patch love treats, but do not like to be picked up.

Peanut we purchased from Family Farm and Home; he was the last one left from his litter. We inquired all three bunnies last October, so they are all close to turning 1. Peanut loves treats and cuddles.

We have a variety of free range chickens on our farm. They love to be feed treats, but do not like to be picked up.
