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!
Pony Rides Spirit Horse Farm, Kent, CT
Pony Rides Spirit Horse Farm, Kent, CT, Today was picture perfect! My daughters and our guests were treated to a lesson in horsemanship by our trainer, Liz. There were smiles all around!
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.
