The speed in which months pass by is keenly felt by this writer! It seems I just submit one article before the next one is due. I am so proud and grateful that we are given a space each month to share our events, news, happenings, joys and sorrows.
Carpe Diem Farms is a vibrant place, full of life and activities primarily centered around the horses.
I promised last month that I would include some photos of the birthday celebration held April 18 for our 4-year-old Journey, the Shire. The five-and six-year-olds from the Boys and Girls Club were a big hit, especially when they broke out singing, “Happy Birthday!”
The big surprise for me was the presence of a “girl” with whom I graduated from high school and haven’t seen since. She read about the party on Facebook and together with her husband came from Asheville to celebrate, meet Journey, and surprise me!
Another surprise was Dale Stewart, a friend who hasn’t been to the farm in several years. As he describes himself on Facebook, “Explorer,
Guardian of the Wild, Natural History Storyteller, and Award-Winning On-Air Personality.” I would add an avid horseman who has a herd of 22, including two retired Budweiser hitch horses! Neighbors and friends of the farm also joined in the fun.
June is full of activities including the Boys and Girls Club participants coming regularly for horse interaction and outdoor fun! We will once again host “In the Company of Horses, Learning Their Language,” the weekend workshop I created to allow others to experience the magic and miracles the horse can bring to our lives.
We welcome guests to the farm to meet the horses, walk the labyrinth, sit by a creek or have a picnic. Our only request is that you call (828) 200-9725 in advance and make an appointment. There are always activities, especially work, fixing fences, mowing fields, cleaning stalls, grooming and exercising horses that fill our time. We can only be available for you if we know you are coming. Thank you.
