Farm Life Stables

Welcome to Farm Life Stables. We are a family owned and operated horse farm. We offer riding lessons, horse boarding, and birthday parties on site.

We have 23 acres of pasture land and an 18 stall barn with both an outdoor and indoor riding arena.

Our sweetest boy went home with his new best friend today. I never thought I would let this sweet horse go, but knowing that he has his very own little boy (and sweet little sis) to love him for the rest of his days sure did make it easier. 💙

Scam alert!!! We do NOT have any horses for sale. We do NOT know who this Kelly Lowrida individual is. That person is advertising horses for sale on MULTIPLE sites and giving out my information as to where the horse is located. DO NOT SEND THIS PERSON MONEY. THIS IS 100% A SCAM!!!

We have some news from the farm front....after a lot of consideration..we have decided that it's time to turn over the farm to someone who will utilize it to its potential. I have reached out to a few people that I know had interest in this farm and a few others have reached out to me. I am going to give them all the opportunity to decide what they'd want to do before I officially list with Elisha Hardison in March. When we bought this farm, it was my biggest dream come true. My family has loved this place and all the people it introduced us to along the way. However, Garland and I are ready for a life with a little less farm maintenance...and a little more down time. The girls are all grown up and venturing into their own lives. We will be rebuilding a mini farm just for us locally, once we decide which property we would like to settle down and retire on. Here is where I really need your input....tell me things that are MUST HAVES for you in your home. As we plan our new home I would love to consider things that I may not have thought of. Did you build or did you do modular? Did you hire a general contractor or did you manage the build yourself? What would you have done differently? What would you definitely do again? Any Barndominium people out there? How do you like a metal building for a house? All these things and more!!!

2023 makes 10 years. We have had a BLAST and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the students and trainers that have graced our little farm. However, we have made the difficult decision to let our lesson program go. The increased costs of horse ownership, the ever rising costs of insurance to cover a lesson program and the aging of our beloved horses all play a huge roll in this difficult decision. We will continue our current program through the end of May, but will not be accepting any new customers effective immediately. I am encouraging anyone new to reach out to Kathleen Orphanos and Brody Hickman for lessons in Martin County and Ashlyn Batten for lessons in Beaufort County as they all offer a solid program and have lesson horses available. We will still have very limited boarding opportunities available with 1 spot for a Mare open in April and potentially a Gelding in June. We are so thankful for everyone who has been a part of this adventure with us as we watched our children grow into young adults on our beloved farm💗💗 We have so many wonderful memories to cherish😊

I have some square bales that are for sale. It's hay I bought this summer, but I won't need. I will reserve a few just in case I have to bring my horses in, but other than that, I feed round bales. Coastal hay. $8.50/bale

We have 2 saintly horses availabe for on site 1/2 lease.

1. Chance: Large Pony. Will place in the hunters all day long. Knows his job and does it fantastically! He has been a very dedicated lesson horse here for many years and I am finally offering him the opportunity to have a more consistent rider. He is an older guy (but don't tell him that). Anyone who leases him will have to have direction of an approved trainer to come on site for lessons. Chance can also handle a small adult rider and LOVES the dressage ring. Chance does trail ride - but that's not his favorite thing to do alone.

2. Sundae. This girl does it all - - and excels at whatever she does!! She is also quite lovely to look at 😍. English, Western, ba****ck, eventing, hunters, dressage...then go out for a trail ride. She is a special one for sure. Safe for an advanced beginner under the direction of an approved trainer.

Contact me if you are interested in either of these two.

Henry....oh Henry. I love this guy. He has such heart...just too much for me to bring along safely. Lots of baggage there on this guy. I sent him to Kathleen Orphanos for 30 days for a strong assessment of what he has to bring to the table...and if he will ever really enjoy what it is that I wanted him to do. The answer to that was...he is smart...really too smart🙄..and he doesn't enjoy the work I wanted him for (100% appreciate kathleen and Brody for the time and energy put into him to really TRY to get him to enjoy my world...and the honesty with which they told me he wasn't a good fit). I have posted him for sale a few times and taken him back down out of fear that he would fall into inexperienced hands and hurt someone...or get hurt himself...or that he would simply be miserably misunderstood for his whole life and get moved from place to place. I had almost resolved to him just being a extra trail mount who ate expensive hay and looked pretty in my pasture😌. One person kept popping into my mind..but he had not even mentioned that he would be interested in another horse. He had just lost his horse of over 20 years. I sent a message telling him to just come check my boy out. He came out yesterday and they INSTANTLY clicked. Henry followed him all around and was eager to please. This is really the first time I have seen Henry so engaged with someone and willing to work for affection. Henry had finally found his person...and he lit up😍. It was a happy day to see Henry load up on that trailer. I won't worry about him...I won't worry about his owner. I know that he will continue to bring him along slow and steady and will have softly stern hands when needed🧡. Be responsible horse sellers...be honest in what you have. Tell the good..the bad..and the ugly. Take the time to see if the bad and the ugly are showing up for a reason. Take the time to assess if the bad and ugly are showing up because the horse HATES his job...or even you😬. Help the horse find their perfect situation.

If you have ridden past the barn recently....and thought it was falling down😬....it wasn't!! We are renovating!!!! We made the decision to keep our boarding numbers low at the farm and keep it to ourselves just a little more than in years past. Our children are all grown and moving into their adult lives and its just a good time in our lives to downsize and focus on making things work better for us. This is the beginning of our new covered sitting area. It will likely be well into spring of 2023 before we get it just like we want it...but this is a fantastic start!! Brian Ward and his crew making all my dreams come true in that big old farm house and in the barn💜

Its been a crazy few days here at Farm Life. 3 emergency vet visits in 5 days🥴. Pete choked on SOAKED FEED Friday...Dr. Lauren to the rescue!!! Aiden choked Sunday...he was certain he was not going to make it...but a quick after hours phone call helped him understand he would be just fine. Pheona kicked off yesterday with a colic...Dr Bob to the rescue!! She was feeling better by 1pm but by 6pm she was writhing in pain again...Dr Lauren to the rescue yet again with fabulous "last-ditch effort" advise to save sweet Pheona.

Greenville Mobile Equine Service, PA we are so very grateful and thankful to you and all you do for us!!
