Celebrating Birthdays
Written By: Sue Blair - Carpe Diem Farms | Issue: May 2023
It’s birthday season for the wise, compassionate horses of Carpe Diem Farms. You’re invited to a celebration, 1:00 P.M. June 11 at Carpe Diem.
The ancients called horses the messengers between us and the divine, companions to the gods. In the Bible, it said in Job 12: Ask the very beasts, and they will teach you.
In the company of horses, we can learn volumes about ourselves and our inter-connectedness to all life. Horses give us insight. They mirror our emotions, our energy system – what you think, what you feel. They give us living biofeedback.
The horses of Carpe Diem Farms are the foundation of our existence. Over the past 26 years there have been 21 horses who have served children and adults alike. They have taught, empowered, healed wounds, and befriended more than 4,000 participants.
Mark your calendars for June 11 – it’s a Birthday Celebration and Gratitude Day for the horses of CDF!
It’s hard to believe that from June through September, Anna Banana, who arrived as a gift from France Bunzl, as a three-month-old will turn 21 in June, Battersea Tracy, who joined the herd at 18 months as a spitfire, orphan foal – she’ll be 20. Tracy’s “niece” Battersea Violet, who arrived from Virginia at three is turning eighteen; Izzy the Oldenberg was seven, now 17; Quarter Horse Reebok Mercedes joined us as a six-year-old and celebrates her 16th year and finally, our mini Pumpkin we believe to be 32.
We invite you to spend the afternoon, 1:00 to 4:00 P.M., with the horses at the farm, celebrating them and the magic and miracles they have brought to the lives of all who have had the privilege to be in their presence.
In addition to cake with the horses, we will provide tours of the farm. Included will be a visit to the Easy’s Slipper production center. The horses of CDF inspired the creation of the patented composite rubber glue-on slipper shoe – helping to heal and provide comfort for horses around the globe.
Hope to see you down on the farm!
