Falkrigia Appaloosa Acres - Falkrigia Shepherds and Crafty Woodchuck

Appaloosa Acres was established in 2005 with potential as a show, boarding or rescue barn but primarily to function, at that time, as a rehab facility for Titan, our retired Belgian hunt horse who had contracted resistant canker. Titan, an incredible Herd Leader, was co-owned with John Gray who was in residence at the farm for many years. Sharing the newly established farm with Titan was Buck, our appaloosa, who is still in residence and for whom the farm is named.

We lost our beloved Titan on December 17th 2018 to what was apparently a massive heart attack. At near 30 years of age (exact age unknown), he went quickly and without struggle and was buried at his home - Appaloosa Acres - with his family of horses, his owners Lynda and John, and his resident caretakers Richard and Barbara Marsh in attendance.

He and Buck were the initial reason behind the farm and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Appaloosa Acres offers clinics, small shows, educational seminars and special events periodically as well as riding instruction. Our wonderfully positive and well-qualified instructor in Western or English riding stresses the Basics of safe riding from Beginner to Advanced. Carol is especially good with young riders and insecure riders.

Boarding is offered on a VERY limited basis

Lynda and Buck have taken up the sport of Ranch Sorting. Buck fell in love with it immediately at his first practice where he was introduced to the cows by veteran rider Cliff Chancey. Buck is totally confident with the cattle, pushing them with his nose when they won't go and guarding the gate fearlessly. It seems he has found his calling :-).

We have an Honorary Pony

We have a new resident now at the farm - The Wellington Cowboy - a classy
name bestowed by Brooke (daughter of Angie Gates) on our sweet, friendly,
fun and entertaining new companion - a 2 year old Jersey X steer who
answers to the name Cowboy, plays with the horses, loves treats and
having his horns and back of his ears rubbed and being brushed.
Bottle-raised by Angie Hubbard, he is certain he is a pony. and NO,
......he will NEVER be dinner :-)
