Riverbend Romping - 5 Acre Unfenced Property

Come visit this pupper pasture paradise! You and your furry friend can enjoy ~5 acres of open pasture where they can romp, run, and roll. While the pasture is uncut and has tall native grasses for your dog to run through, the perimeter of the pasture is well maintained and mowed so that you can clearly see where you're walking. The perimeter is also bordered by native trees and perennials which host a variety of birds (herons, osprey, eagles, hawks, ducks, geese, and many songbirds), as well as butterflies (monarchs and swallowtails). A large portion of the field is bordered by the Rocky River.

Howling Wolf Farm (huge horse pasture and pond!)

First things first: “Will the horses be out there when my dog is?” Not really! The horses will be closeby in our dry lot. While friendly towards most dogs, safety comes first. HOWEVER, it is just a rope fence that seperates you and your dog from them, so dogs COULD get in there (we plan to upgrade this later and put better fencing up). I HIGHLY reccomend you keep your dogs away from the horses or do not let them go through the rope fence. As far as the pasture goes, it is 2.5 acres and fenced all the way around the perimeter. Dogs cannot get in or out without human help. Tons of room to run and play. I have two huskies that are game for friends if wanted. The pond is pretty big and my guys love to swim in it! We just recently cleaned up around the pond and it is NOT treated with anything. We have had no issues from guests who have gone swimming.
