~Our Farm~

In this page, I will share with y'all a little bit of life on the farm! (In other words, I'm going to brag about all of our crazy animals!)

_________________________________________________________________________

Winds of Faith Family Farm isn’t just any family farm. It is special. I like to say it is part of our journey. We have always had the desire to live in the country, to have that wonderful experience with all sorts of animals, to grow our own food, and to just live more simply. God made this possible for us, and in 2012 we moved. Our country living journey had begun. 

Moving to our farm has been such a blessing. In the years we have lived here, we have had good times, bad times, ups and downs, highs and lows, joys and trials, all of which have made us into the people we are today. And I have to say, my family is AWESOME!!!
  

Lets begin with the tour of the farm animals, shall we?!

The horses!!! On this farm we have six horses and one mini. 

Rosie is the BEST and my favorite horse! Yes, I can play favorites, because she is mine. *winks* Rosie is a 14 year old, chestnut, Morgan mare. She is 16hh. She is the lead mare, so she is the queen who rules the pastures! (Well, she was until we got a new horse... Ziggy!) She is super sassy and gives me a run for my money at times. Yes, she is a challenge, but I would not trade her for any other horse out there! She LOVES to eat! Grass, hay, grain, treats, and just about anything! Her birthday is May 18.

Khnight Watch was our very first horse, so you might say that he was the one to start it all. He passed away in the fall of 2021. Khnight will be forever missed. He was the best teacher and very much loved by all. 

Apple is my younger sisters pony. She the cutest little sixteen year old, brown and white paint mare. She is 13hh. Apple sticks to Rosie like bees to honey. They are very close friends. Apple is taken on lots of trail rides and has the smallest, most bumpiest gaits ever! 

Ruger is my younger sisters second horse. We bought Ruger for my younger sister because she outgrew Apple for long trail rides. He is a 16hh Paint gelding with the sweetest disposition. Ruger is 16 years old and is such a good fit for my sister! We bought Ruger in August of 2018.

Shawnee is my older cousins horse. He is a twenty-three years old, black and white paint, Quarter Horse gelding. Shawnee is so gentle and sweet, but minds his own business. He doesn’t need to be in your face all the time, unlike my horse! Shawnee has big gaits and is 15.3hh. He also loves to eat, like Rosie. Shawnee is being trained to compete in cowboy mounted shooting competitions! 

Josie is my younger cousins pony. She is a seventeen year old, grulla, Quarter Pony mare. She is 14.1hh. Her color is very unique. She is so friendly and curious! She comes when she is called and will follow her owner anywhere. Josie is also being trained to compete in cowboy mounted shooting competitions! Sadly, we have recently found out that Josie is blind in her right eye. 

Dumplin’ is our mini. He is a twenty-one year old, rose gray mini. He is only about 9hh. Dumplin' in the spring time, sheds tones of his furry coat! We bought Apple and Dumplin’ at the same time if you were wondering about his name;-). He is in his own pen because he can’t be in with the big horses. We tried, it didn’t work! Dumplin’ is trained to pull a Amish cart or wagon. 

Next up is our two Nigerian goats! 

Lilly is the sweetest doe ever! She is the coolest color and has blue eyes. She is a really good mother to Angel!

Angel is our sweet baby doe! She was born on Saturday, April 7, 2018. Little Angel is the first baby to be born on Winds of Faith. She was the cutest little surprise ever! Why I say surprise is that, believe it or not, we did not realize that Lilly was pregnant. It’s a long story, but we are so glad Angel is a healthy little kid! Isn't she adorable?!?!

The mini Juliana pigs!

Wilber has quite the character! He will drop down and lay on his side whenever you scratch his belly.

Daisy follows Wilber around. Her and Wilber, in the fall, will collect lots of grass to bring in their stall as a bed for the winter! This was a picture of when she was a baby!

Chickens! 

We have chickens that we have raised from chicks.

Barn Cats!

We have 8 barn cats that have found their way to our farm! Oscar, Tar, Lavender, Tipper, George, Benny, Roo, and Pigeon are their names. Here are Pigeon, Roo and Tipper.

Dogs!

We have LOTS of dogs here on Winds of Faith! Nine including all of the farm, but just my family, we have five dogs. In order of pictures: Charlie is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Maisey is a long haired Chihuahua, Dakota is a rescue (aren’t those the best?), Maverick is a German Shepherd (also a rescue!), and Tucker is a long haired Chihuahua. Tucker is our newest addition, we got him when he was ten weeks old! He is so tiny and adorable!

Well, these are most of our animals here on Winds of Faith! 
I hope you liked reading about them all.
