We have had so many great guests come to visit so far this spring. And many friends returning back for second, third, and even fourth visits! Like the doves coming back from from their wayward meanderings, our guests and friends always bring an unexpected joy to the farm!
Another Special Wedding Night at The Spirit Horse Farm! The Summer season may be winding down soon, but last night was so incredibly beautiful here. I wish we could start all over again! It was Noel and Kerry’s wedding that made it so memorable. Great guests, beautiful couple, really wonderful family and friends! Thanks so much Noel and Kerry, for finding us and leaving us with memories to last a lifetime!
My daughters are with her and her friends in the pool. We are blessed and grateful to have met such wonderful people! The best thing about The Spirit Horse Farm is definitely the people who come to visit!
Happy Birthday Saoirse!

White Dove Releases for Weddings, Funerals and Special Memorial Events
White Doves have throughout the ages have symbolized peace, love, joy, and the hope of a new beginning. How befitting, then, that a dove release be included in any celebration of life . . . whether it be wedding doves, a funeral, a memorial service, a christening, a confirmation, a bar mitzvah, an anniversary, a birthday, a church dedication or a new business venture . . . the possibilities are endless. Your vision is our palette, and our goal is to create a flawless dove release, custom- made . . . especially for you.
Whatever your celebration might be, we can enhance the ambiance of the occasion with the breathtaking sights and sounds of a ceremonial white dove release. The gentle rustle of feathers and the unforgettable vision of pristine white doves soaring towards the heavens in winged flight create a symbolic tribute to your special day and a magical moment in time for all who share in it.
We can arrange a dove release for you, or as a special gift from you, in the Tri State Area, Ct, NY, and NJ. The gift of snow white doves is a unique, thoughtful alternative to flowers. In lieu of flowers, send a dove release!
The release birds are doves, which are specially trained and conditioned for their mission. After circling to get their directional bearing, they will journey to their loft where they are cared for and loved.
Doves have no homing abilities and will not survive in the wild.
We do not release the birds indoors, at night, or in inclement weather.
Dove Releases Spirit Horse Farm Litchfield County, Westchester, CT
We let the white doves loose following a short prayer in the Saint Andrews Church cemetery. It was quite a sight for all to see. The doves were all home by sunset, and circled overhead just as the last poles were being placed for our tipi. It was a perfect night for the inaugural fire, with moon, stars, friends and guests on hand to witness the soft pulsing glow of firelight coming from inside.
