PSA: If you can't or won't house your horse with other horses, do not get a horse.

Can horses socialize with other animals? Absolutely!
Are there cases where a single horse preferred goat/sheep/other animal companionship compared to other horses? Yep!
Is this the norm for horses? No!
Is it a good idea to try it and hope your horse prefers or is "happy enough" with other animals instead of getting an appropriate horse companion with a suitable personality to match your other horse? F*ck no!

Please stop using your horse as a social experiment because you'd prefer to only care for one horse or you'd like to add other livestock but can't afford them all.

If you can't or won't provide appropriate housing for horses to safely socialize together then you don't need a horse. Or you can board where your horse will have friends you aren't responsible for!

And before anyone starts with "well MY horse doesn't like blah blah blah..." just know that while there can certainly be exceptions to any generalization, most often a lack of ability for a horse to be capable of or enjoy socializing comes from an inappropriate environment or emotional/physical issues within an individual horse, not because they want to live with a goat instead.

Heaven Sent Farm is starting a new chapter and will be putting a pause on public boarding for the foreseeable future.

I love what I do and I've had an amazing time taking care of the horses that came through my doors, horses that needed a safe space to live, decompress and make new friends.

For now I've seen that I can help more horses the most through my equine nutrition consulting program and am going to put my focus on HSF Equine Nutrition for 2027.

If you're looking for advice on feeding, diet analysis for current feeds, body condition scoring and so much more, I'm your girl!

My hope is to be able to host some events again in 2027 surrounding nutrition as well as general care, and we might have some fun surprises on the farm too!

Keep following this page to stay updated on some exciting changes we'll be making, especially this coming spring 💐

And not to worry, my horses will still be here with me too so you'll still see them on the page!

Why don’t I like cross ties for horses?

I think it’s really important to question things and try to empathise with our horses and wonder what it must be like for them.

The use of cross ties seems to be on the increase and I wonder why.

The only time I’ve seen cross ties being used was for race horses, which made sense to me. They’re not well trained, not really happy with what they have to do, they’re part of a business model that needs to get things done in a speedy cost effective way without worrying about the horse's experience. That means cross ties can restrain the horse while they do things to them, with less danger for the human and less protest from the horse.

As an empathetic horse trainer who doesn't use force, they go against my ethos to give the horse a voice and listen to that voice and to respect their body autonomy. They will have trouble speaking when they’re in cross ties; we remove their ability to communicate and to simply behave naturally.

It's important to remember that even if they can move around, it's also a psychological restraint, it's a reminder, it sends a message to the horse.

All I can wonder is if we ourselves would like to be tied up in cross ties while others do things to us? Not being able to scratch an itch, not being able to give a calming signal, not being able to walk away, not being able to protect or defend ourselves.

It makes a horse super vulnerable with little control.

This is exactly why I train, groom, clean hooves, trim and do most things at liberty. They can be haltered and tied for other people’s safety, such as vets, because healthcare is a non negotiable, but I train them to willingly cooperate and enjoy those experiences.

Agritourism has changed how people see farms. Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and you-pick farms have made visiting a farm a familiar experience, and have created the expectation that all farms are places everyone can access.

We’re often asked whether people can visit ours. But we don’t open our farm to the public, including to customers.

That can surprise people who mostly experience farms as visitors. Hosting guests is a whole part of a business, with its own planning, staffing, infrastructure, and expenses. Some farmers choose that. Others don’t.

It also shapes expectations of what farms should look like. Working farms are messy. Tools are out, equipment needs repairs, materials are waiting for the next project, and livestock areas get muddy. The layout serves the farmer, crops, and animals. Aesthetic photos aren’t the priority.

There are also important safety reasons to limit access. Equipment and livestock present very real hazards. Visitors can unintentionally introduce diseases and parasites. People sometimes enter properties to pet animals without permission, open gates, or feed things they shouldn’t. They can get bit, kicked, let animals out, or break infrastructure.

And theft happens. Animals and equipment get stolen.

Beyond all of that, our farm is our home. It’s where we raise our family, and we value having privacy here.

Agritourism has a place, and we appreciate farms that put the work into welcoming visitors. Our business is built around growing, raising animals, and making products.

We love sharing that work with you on social media and seeing you at markets. A farm can be worth supporting without being a place you can visit. 💚

So, please don’t be offended if we tell you that we don’t open our farm to the public, even if you’re a customer. We love you all and appreciate all of your support. Our farm is home to our animals and family. Thanks for understanding.
