📅 **2027 Farm Sitting Schedule Update**

Hello, wonderful farm owners and clients!

As many of you are already planning your 2027 vacations, I wanted to give you a quick scheduling update. At this time, I have not yet received my corporate work schedule for 2027, so I won't be able to officially confirm farm sitting dates until after December 15, 2026.

In the meantime, you're absolutely welcome to send me your tentative dates! I'll add them to my calendar and will confirm availability as soon as my work schedule is finalized.

While I always do my best to accommodate as many farms and vacations as possible, there will inevitably be some dates I'm unable to cover. If that happens, I'm more than happy to connect you with one of the many trusted farm sitters I know in your area. We have a wonderful community of farm sitters, and I'm always happy to help you find the right fit so your animals receive the care they deserve.

Thank you all so much for your understanding and continued support! I truly appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️

🐴 Your Voice Matters — Help Support Virginia's Horse Industry!

The Virginia Horse Industry Board (VHIB) is conducting its 2026 Economic Impact Survey, and your participation is essential. The results will help demonstrate the economic impact of Virginia's horse industry to policymakers and the public, ensuring our industry continues to receive the recognition and support it deserves.

If you're part of Virginia's horse community, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Every response helps paint a more accurate picture of our industry's value and impact.

Hi equestrian friends of Facebook! Please share our flyer and join us in just a week and a half for the second annual Charlottesville tack sale! All are welcome--think of this like a GIANT yard sale, but it's all horse related! Bring your donations for our local rescues, use this as a spring cleaning opportunity, and meet your fellow equine enthusiasts.
