Have you, or someone you know, ever dreamed of having a horse for Christmas?
This year, Touchstone Farm wants to help make that dream come true!
We are excited to offer one lucky individual the opportunity to experience the joy of horses for an entire year! This special opportunity is designed for someone who has always dreamed of spending time with horses but, for whatever reason, hasn't had the opportunity to make that dream a reality.
Our goal is to create a meaningful experience that builds confidence, encourages learning, and fosters a lasting love and appreciation for horses.
What does this amazing opportunity include?
The winner will receive 12 months of horse experiences, with one session each month, valued at over $800!
Each monthly visit will be arranged with Touchstone Farm and may include:
• Learning about horse care and everyday responsibilities.
• Understanding horse safety and behaviour.
• Horsemanship lessons.
• Equine Assisted Learning sessions.
Whether it's the excitement of being around horses, learning new skills, building confidence, or simply developing a special bond with these incredible animals, this experience is about so much more than just riding. It's about creating memories, building connections, and making dreams come true!
How to Enter:
We want to hear your story!
Write to us and tell us why you, or the person you are nominating, would love to receive this opportunity. Tell us why this experience would be meaningful and what positive impact you feel it could have.
Entries must be a maximum of 250 words and include:
• Your full name.

This Christmas, let's make a dream come true. Because sometimes the greatest gifts aren't things wrapped under the tree… they're experiences, connections, and memories that last a lifetime.
Good luck to everyone entering! ❤️
With love,
Touchstone Farm

Here's our upcoming events for the next two months. We've got some exciting things coming up and wanted to be sure we shared them so you didn't miss out either. Clothing orders, a Christmas Parade, Show Team meeting, Christmas Photos with the horses...our Christmas PARTY! We'll post more info on each individual thing, but for now we can at least post the schedule. If you have any questions, please reach out of course!

Our horseshow was a fabulous success on Sunday, I'll make a post about that separately, and then the week went a little off the rails lol. Thank you to our families for understanding and being patient and to Miss Katie for lending a hand when we needed it (all the times).
But we'd like to introduce Shiraz. Despite a rather dramatic entrance into the family, meet our new addition to the program. This lovely 13yr old adorably chonky mare is in the barn and after some healing (see the part about a dramatic entrance?) will be tested and ridden by some lovely ladies and hopefully quickly integrated into the lesson program. If her calm and even temperament during her arrival is any indication of how she handles life, we are extremely lucky to have her in the family. She is currently on stall rest for a few more days, but willing to greet friends and accept snacks when you come by.
Big thank you for Dr. Hansen and Valley Equine Clinic for their patience and speed when dealing with both emergencies this week. Appreciate you, but would like to not have to see you for at least a little while ;)

It's almost Show Day! Here are our ESTIMATED arrival times for riders. If we run late, you'll have to wait. We are a fun and supportive show, so if it takes a little longer, that's what it'll be. Weather looks gorgeous though! See you tomorrow!!!!
