Hi! I’m an animal and nature lover excited to share our 40 acre paradise with others wanting to experience nature with their pets in a safe environment free of larger wildlife. I currently have 4 rescue horses, 3 rescue cats, and our black shepherd cross Ozzie who is lucky enough to walk off leash on the property 3 times a day.
