Burnt Feather Farms

There’s something special about seeing your horses and farm loved enjoyed by others.

Watching Zaylee and Paige out on a trail ride with our mares Ginny and Blanche today brought a huge smile to my face.

The long days and endless projects are all worth it when we get moments like these. Seeing confidence grow, friendships form, and memories being made with our horses is what our farm is all about.

Thank you, Zaylee and Paige, for filling the farm with smiles, laughter, and happy horses. ❤️

The giggles echoing through the woods are the kind of reward that makes every bit of hard work worthwhile. Even if there was a bit of anxiety from Stephanie Rodman and I as we heard the trees getting trampled 😅

What a weekend for the BFF and SR Performance Horse’s family!

Two back to back horse shows at Maine Mavericks, Inc and Skyline Corral, Inc. made for long days and so much hard work (along with some sunburn- oops). Through it all our exhibitors, riders and horses showed up and gave it their all. We are beyond proud of every single one of you- and not just because ya'll all brought home ribbons.

What stood out most this weekend was the environment amongst our group.

There was cheering for every rider and exhibitor entering the ring, and everyone celebrated the wins of others as if they were their own. There were helping hands everywhere you looked as well- no one was "too good" to shovel manure, fill water buckets, grab tack, help braid, hold horses, or jump in wherever needed. Everyone showed up for one another.

If felt like what a true barn family should feel like.

The little girl in me would have loved to have grown up in an environment like this and I am so incredibly thankful that Burnt Feather Farms is that place for so many riders today of all ages and walks of life.

An environment where people are supported, encouraged, and valued no matter where they are in their horse journey.

A huge thank you goes out to our incredible coach, instructor and trainer Stephanie Rodman. The atmosphere we experienced this weekend starts from the top up- with the boss! Her dedication, encouragement, abundance of patience, and genuine care for both horses and riders creates something truly special.

Thank you as well to every rider, exhibitor, parent, family member and helper who contributes to making this farm what it is and the environment so supportive!

That's something to be proud of- along with all the ribbons everyone won this weekend since everyone CRUSHED IT!!!

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet Becky 🎂🐴

And an honorary birthday to our girl Sonja 🧡💙 as a rescue, we don’t know her exact day, but we know she’s right around the same age and just as special.

From wobbly starts to growing into beautiful young horses, we’re so lucky to have these girls. Won’t be long before they’re winning ribbons and buckles for Winona.

We want to share that Andy’s father, David, recently passed away.

While Andy didn’t have the opportunity to know him as well as he would have liked, it’s become very clear just how much they shared in common. From a lifelong passion for motorcycles, to their perspectives on life, and even their unmistakable sense of style-the similarities are undeniable. It’s safe to say the apple truly didn’t fall far from the tree… right down to both of them choosing a Samsung over an iPhone.

As we reflect, we’re grateful for the unexpected connections and pieces of David we’re getting to know through this time.

His obituary is below. Services will be held in Duncansville Thursday. The viewing will start at 1pm and the funeral at 3pm.

As we work through settling his father’s affairs, we will be busier than usual (which is typically quite busy 😬.) That said, all of the critters here at the farm are continuing to receive the same top-notch care they always do. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

Today we take a moment at Five Star Powersports to remember a true member of our family, Dave Kelly.

To many of us, he was known as Dr. Dave, the Dirtbike Doctor, and even Davy Deals. No matter what you called him, if you needed help, advice, or just someone to point you in the right direction, Dave was your guy. And if you had a few extra minutes to spare, you might have been there a while, because once Dave got talking, you were guaranteed at least 30 minutes and probably learned something along the way.

Dave had a passion that was impossible to miss. Vintage motorcycles, rare parts, eBay finds, you name it, he knew it. You could ask him anything about a bike and he would not only have the answer, he would have a story to go with it. And somehow, those stories always kept you listening.

He had his routines too. Every morning, checking in, asking for the word of the day, sharing a laugh. Those little moments do not seem big at the time but mean everything now.

Dave was excited for retirement, but like any true parts guy, he was not ready to fully step away. He still wanted to be around, still wanted to help, still wanted to be part of it, and that says everything about the kind of person he was.

He made this place better. He made people better. And he will always be a part of Five Star.

Rest easy, Dave. We will keep the conversations going for you. ❤️
