I hope everyone is staying healthy and doing as well as possible in this difficult time.

As you are probably aware, Governor Lee recently issued an Executive Order directing Tennesseans to stay home unless engaging in essential activities to limit their exposure to and spread of COVID-19. Pursuant to this order, which is currently in effect through April 14, we will remain closed.

Clearly this represents a significant disruption in all of our lives and poses financial challenges for our business. While unpleasant, we believe that the collective sacrifices that we are called to make pale in comparison to the devastation and loss of life brought on by COVID-19. We believe that by joining together and doing what is right for our community, we can make a positive impact.

We’re looking forward to nothing more than seeing this virus ease its grip on our world and being able to welcome you all back to the barn. Jason Schnelle Kristen Amat Schnelle

We’re excited to announce that we’ve formed a fundraising team for this year’s St. Jude Race weekend! If you have any interest in participating with our team for any of the races please click on the link to register. We’re hoping to raise a bunch of money for the kids at St. Jude and hope you’ll join us in our efforts! Sophie Davidoff Sarah Morris Ivone Jason Schnelle

St. Jude Heroes St. Jude Heroes do more with their race. They're running to help save the lives of kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Learn more about how their run makes a difference.

Today we lost a legend. Chances are, if you learned to ride at ACF anytime over the last 18 years, Yoo-Hoo was the first pony you ever got the chance to ride. She was our most patient and saintly beginner teacher for our tiniest of riders and taught so many students how to post, canter, and jump their first cross rail. Rest in peace sweet girl, you have left a hole in our hearts and lives that will never be filled.

Spring Break Camp is just around the corner! March 12 - 16, contact Kristen 901-378-1364 or Jen 847-275-3632 for more info. http://www.autumnchasefarm.com/camp.html
