The farm’s barn and pasture layouts are designed for safety, with shaded runs and natural forage fields. A passion for traditional draft horse traits guides its breeding choices, and several of its horses have earned ribbons at regional agricultural fairs. Its pastures are rotated seasonally to preserve soil health and support lush grazing. During winter, its horses receive enriched feed and daily conditioning to maintain muscle tone. Visitors describe the experience as unhurried, with ample time spent on grooming, hoof care, and gentle groundwork.
