Open Gates Farm

2021 brought us some highs and it most certainly brought us some lows. 2022 will be a year of reflection on what we have been blessed with. Our family, our health, our animals, our friends, our farm and our faith. Join us in celebrating 2022!

Handy is getting so big. And he sure is a looker, well at least in his Momma's eyes. Photo credits go to Miranda Allen, our oldest daughter.

Alright friends of OGF, we need your help and participation. There is a benefit barrel race at Ryan Greene's Arena next Saturday, November 17. We'd appreciate it if you would come out, bring a horse to enter, bring some money for a bbq plate or the silent auction, or just come to offer to volunteer with the show. The show details are below. Hope to see you there.

Bruce and Briar spent this afternoon in the hayfields making sure we had plenty to get us through the winter. Special thanks to Gary Gates for helping out so that we could ensure Pa's cows had hay too.

Meet Lindsays Fire N Ike, aka Angel. She is Briar's former mount, Stella's, filly. She joined us on March 3, 2018. We truly CANNOT wait to see what she has in store for her future. She already has more personality and sass than we can manage. She enjoys getting her bottom scratched by whoever is willing, although Briar has her rotten with it. At 24 days, she's already enjoying some of mom's feed and an occasional piece of hay to nibble on. He flying lead changes are incredible. :) And her bestie is none other than Briar's black and than c**n hound, Patch (they are roughly the same size...today). Sweet Angel, you were definantley worth the wait!

Would like to share just how thankful we are for everyone at our farm. You all make Open Gates Farm what it is. Whether you join us in boarding your horse, an occassional riding lesson, a bit of fishing, a few minutes in the treestand, or a friends/family get together in our pole building, we cherish each of you. I hope you "feel" the "open"ness of our hearts having you here.

We are hosting a Dac seminar tomorrow at the farm. Please join us for refreshments and some fantastic information! Our personal representative is Amanda Hendrix.

Just wanted to let those know that accompany us at Open Gates Farm that we are very thankful for each of you. You are all very supportive of us as we are trying to manage Bruce's daddy's health. We couldn't ask for better people to share our little piece of heaven with.

Sorry for the stall light reflection in the photo, but both our girls are bred. Praying 2018 brings a couple nice babies to Open Gates Farm. Please say a little prayer for both Stella and Gracie that they are both able to carry both babies to term.

We brought home a WBRL World Championship from Perry, GA this past Sunday.

Replaced some t-posts this weekend with 4X4s to ensure the horses here at Open Gates Farm are safe.
