Remington and Venus

This could be a start to an incredibly salubrious relationship for the two and just as much for all of The Farm Way horses. You see, Remi is our leading man and he needs a leading lady.
This is a big role for Venus for several reasons. But mainly because she spent most of her life as an only horse and one day found herself in the hands of a kill buyer. As fate goes, our awesome friends with The Hooved Companion Project saved her.
Venus has been at The Farm Way for nearly two years now. She has a beautiful mission with a momentous message of Love. She has asked us to give her time to quite literally find her own footing here amongst so many others. We get this. Who hasn’t felt overwhelmed and just needs some time!

A little side story- the other day Remi was trying to get Venus to stand with him head to tail to keep flies away. Venus kept walking around him and then stopped at his tail. He was his usual gentleman and kept the flies off of her.
Venus, we know you’ll get this girl! You have so many rooting for you!!!!
Stay tuned to see if Venus accepts Remi’s invitation.....

In the fall of 2011, Mike and I moved to a small farm in Central Illinois where we immediately found ourselves rescuing horses. The rescue was not part of our original plan, but we felt the calling while doing a search for a pair of ponies we did plan on caring for on the farm. Since childhood, my entire extended family and I have been horse owners. Mike and I wanted to continue this tradition. Upon searching the internet for a pair of ponies, we were overwhelmed with the number of horses that needed a rescue and/or a home.

So, enter Princess and Geronimo, the first two rescues. They were both severely malnourished and uncared for. Mike and Nicole adopted them both. To this day, we are still helping them open to all of their best possibilities.

After Princess and Geronimo arrived, a third horse, Hero, came to the farm. At this point we reached capacity on our small farmette, but we knew we weren’t done.

The Farm Way Sanctuary became a non profit Corporation in April of 2014.

It has taken us four years, the birth of our beautiful, horse-ready son, a barn fire, getting outbid on another farm, regrouping our entire family at Maytown Farm, a rockin’ farmraiser, an incredible angel family, Grandma Nancy, and being homeless like little tiny baby Jesus on Christmas Eve to bring us here, to our forever farm in Whiteside County, IL. in the winter of 2016.

This farm is our ideal space to provide sanctuary for horses and other animals in need. As well as, allow The Farm Way Sanctuary to build the facilities needed for programs and programming that educate and minister the spirit and warmth of the horses, mother earth and one another to children, their families, individuals and groups.
