Pennfields Farm - PnR Training What we are all about: Pampered and Remarkable Horses for all

Nestled on approximately 50 acres, only a mile from DVHA, Pennfields Farm specializes in the care, training and sale of Arabian Horses. The facilities include 2 separate barns, offering large stalls, hot/cold water, bath, & tack room, large grassy paddocks for turn out, and we grow our own hay, straw, and grain. There is an airy indoor arena with state-of-the-art dustless footing and lights, a rou

nd pen for ground work, a kitchen, bathroom and lounge area for socializing, and riding paths around the property's paddocks and fields. At Pennfields each individual horse or rider receives pampered care and remarkable training with a personalized program at reasonable rates as our honored guest. Daily individual care and attention gently brings out the best of each unique personality and positively reinforces their abilities. We work to incorporate manners, patience, discipline, and fun, with a base in natural horsemanship. For our horses, we combine both classical French dressage and light Western Pleasure into their routine for a versatile, well-rounded, adaptable horse. Our training, for both horse and rider, starts from the ground up for a connection of body, heart, mind, and spirit of the horse and in conjunction with the person so that they may find success and fun in any situation. Thus, through learning and growing in companionship and understanding together, there is created a unique bond and friendship between horse and rider. My team and I strive to make this an enjoyable positive experience all around for both the horse and rider to preserve their integrity; young or old, and to nurture the love of and passion for the care and understanding of the horse overall.

BARN OWNER REALITY CHECK 🏚️
Things They Don't Tell You About Running a Barn:

💰 "You will make lots of money from horse boarding"
REALITY: The money comes in, and then it immediately goes out. Hay prices are up. The farrier raised his rates. The vet bill for that one colic scare was astronomical. The tractor needs a new part. The fence line needs repairs again. Your profit margin is thinner than a horse's summer coat in July, and you're mostly just moving money around to keep the place from falling apart. By the time you account for all of the costs of running a farm such as bedding, insurance, workers, feed, hay, electricity, manure removal, pasture seeding, mowing, etc, the question is, is it really worth the little money you make ?! (If any at all!)

🐴 "Horses are easy to care for"
REALITY: They are delicate creatures designed to injure themselves in the most creative and expensive ways possible. One minute they're peacefully grazing; the next, they have a mysterious abscess, a swollen leg from a kick nobody saw, or have somehow lost a shoe in a perfectly padded stall. And that's not even counting the endless cycle of feeding, mucking, blanketing, and checking for new cuts and scrapes.

👥 "Boarders will follow the rules"
REALITY: You have a meticulously crafted 10-page rulebook, but it’s treated more like a suggestion list. Gates are left open. Lights are left on. People park in front of the hay delivery truck's path. They use the "owner's only" equipment and don't clean up after themselves. You spend more time being a friendly-but-firm enforcer than you do enjoying your own horses.

☀️ "Enjoy the peaceful country lifestyle"
REALITY: That peaceful country lifestyle is a fantasy you occasionally glimpse between 16-hour workdays. Your alarm goes off before the sun, and you don't stop until long after it's set. Your weekends are filled with chores, not leisure. That tranquil silence is often broken by the sound of a horse kicking its stall door, a frantic phone call about a loose horse, or the low hum of a broken water pump.

🤝 "Everyone will get along"
REALITY: The barn is a microcosm of society, complete with cliques, gossip, and petty rivalries. One boarder is convinced another is overfeeding their horse. Someone is always complaining about a stall being mucked improperly or a blanket being put on wrong. You're not just a barn owner; you're a therapist, a mediator, and a conflict resolution specialist, all while trying to remember which horse gets a scoop of what grain and a handful of which supplement.

BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH:
When you watch a rescue horse bloom, see a kid find confidence, or catch that perfect sunset over your pastures... you remember why you chose this financially questionable but soul-filling life.

What if being in the pasture is enough?

No groundwork.
No training plan.
No halter in hand.

Just presence.
Just peace.
Just two beings meeting under the sky.

What if we stopped measuring our time with horses by what we accomplished—
and started honoring the quiet miracle of simply being together?

No agenda.
No outcomes.
Just mutual breath.
A soft flick of the ear.
A long blink.
A shared stillness.

In that stillness, something shifts.

We remember that worth is not earned through performance.
That connection doesn’t require control.
That healing doesn’t always look like progress—it often looks like pause.

Maybe the pasture is not a place we go when we’re done working.
Maybe the pasture is the work.

The work of unlearning.
Of softening.
Of witnessing the wholeness in each other without needing to shape it.

This is sanctuary.
Not because it’s a perfect place.
But because we choose to bring no demands, no corrections, no shoulds.

Just ourselves.
Open. Quiet. Willing to be changed.

Because sometimes the most profound thing we can offer a horse…
is to not ask for anything at all.

I think it’s time to go back to school. Ummm. Recently a family member and a friend asked me why I blocked them. I was confused. I checked just in case and there were no blocked people on my list. Then I see this. Hmmm, I am not the only one. So now I am fixing my blocked posts. I wondered where everybody had been! This is good to know. It's ridiculous to have over 300 friends and only 25 are allowed to see posts.
I ignored this post earlier because I didn’t think it worked. It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts...
okay here goes....HELLO. To regain friends in your news feed and get rid of ads - Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!!
It's sad we have to keep doing this to kill the Ads and see our friends hello haven’t seen you or your posts in a long time

Sometimes we break — from pain, from loss, from silence that cuts through the soul...
And in those moments, it's not a person who stands beside you, but him — your horse. 🐴
The one whose wounds you once healed, who learned to trust you even when he had every reason not to.
Now he just stands near, breathing softly. Just present. Just there.

And somehow, it doesn’t hurt as much. Your heart calms down. And the world doesn’t feel so lonely anymore.

Because when you healed him — he remembered.
And now — he’s healing you.

When you’re with horses,
the world starts to breathe differently.
Faster. Deeper. Freer.

Out here, in the open field beneath a burning sunset sky,
everything else fades away.
No worries, no pressure, no fear.
Just the wind in your hair, the warmth of the sun on your face,
and hooves leading you to where your soul belongs.

Because being with a horse isn’t just about riding.
It’s about freedom.
About dissolving into the moment.
Becoming part of nature — its spirit, its heartbeat.

And in that moment,
you remember who you are.
Wild. True. Unbreakable. Free.
And fully, fiercely alive.
