Hideaway Hill Farm welcomed Henrietta to our little rescue in November 2009.  She had a dislocated leg and spent four weeks convalescing in a special coop!  her leg will never be "normal" but she is getting around the barn really well now and doing great.  She will remain here at HHF due to her condition. 

THANK YOU Tennco, Inc. for helping us with our printing needs!

THANK YOU Bruce and Christine Y. for the stall mats! 

We have had an increasing number of requests to take in horses where the owners simply cannot take care of their horses any longer for various reasons; however, please note, we aim to reserve our space here for those horses and ponies in dire need where care cannot wait.  We do make every effort possible to assist these owners with placing their horses into good homes when there is not an emergency need to take the horse in.  We appreciate your understanding. 

I am the only person that is responsible for the training and riding of the horses here at HHF.  My husband assists with barn maintenance, feeding, and turn-out and in, but he does not handle the horses much beyond that as he is not a "rider."  (Well, I do drag him out on a trail ride with me every now and then!)  I believe that the only way for me to truly find the best and most suitable match for the horses is for me to assess each horse and pony MYSELF, not to rely on the word of others or watching someone else ride the horse for a few minutes in a controlled environment.  That is not a fair assessment of the horse and it is not fair to the person interested in adopting the horse either.  Any faults, issues, or vices that are known to me will always be shared with potential adopters.  No horse or pony is perfect and potential adopters need to be aware of that in their search for their equine friend!  Also, as someone who makes a living riding and training horses, I do not believe in the terms "bombproof" or "been there done that."   Horses are highly instinctual animals by nature, with a fight or flight mechanism by which they survive; therefore, every horse is afraid of something!  And there will always been new situations the horse is faced with so it is impossibe to have "been there and done everything."  The more sensitive the horse is, the more likely it will require a more experienced rider.   Some horses are very quiet and not easily excitable.  These horses tend to be more beginner friendly.  I will not adopt a horse out to someone that I feel is not suitable.  We pride ourselves on this policy and the care these animals receive during their stay with us!
