Happy Birthday Momma Cindy ~ March 14th 🐎🐱

It had always been a dream of mine to own land where I could have my horses. In 1996, I found the perfect farm I could call home – 50 beautiful rolling acres that had belonged to the Ferrell family since the late 1800s and was put up for auction when the last living relative passed away. The estate included a turn-of-the-century farm house that needed a good cleaning, but was structurally sound and ready for occupancy. The land, however, was overgrown and, after years of neglect, needed a lot of work in order to transform it into my dream horse farm.

Many years’ prior, the land had been a cattle farm, although no domesticated animals had lived there in over two decades. The existing barn, which was quite large, was leaning to one side and missing most of its roof. Brush needed to be cleared and old, rusted fencing had to be removed. My first priority was to erect sound fencing in at least one pasture and build stalls for my two horses. My childhood mare was getting older and arthritic and could not be ridden much, and my younger gelding had a neurological disorder, so it was important to me to provide them with a safe, comfortable environment. Ultimately, they were the inspiration for eventually turning Ferrell Hollow Farm into a nonprofit retirement sanctuary for senior and special needs horses.

In 2017 I added a Senior Cat Sanctuary program which focuses on rescuing cats over the age of 15 who are in local shelters or surrendered by owners no longer able to care for them. Through no fault of their own, they find themselves in unfortunate situations facing abandonment or euthanasia, often having medical needs that require constant attention. We give them a safe place to live out their days where their issues can be addressed. We have helped almost 50 senior cats in 9 years!

Each year for Momma Cindy’s Birthday, it is her Wish that there are enough resources and support for our Senior horses and Senior Cats! As a true Sanctuary, the animals that we take in, stay here for as long as they live. We give them as much love, care and attention as we can to make sure they feel safe and live as comfortably as possible.
