Hi! My name is Sarah and I live in northeast Indiana.

Spirit Wind Farm is my little hobby farm that currently consists of 6 horses (plus one rescue/boarder and a rescued mini in rehab), 4 Nubian dairy goat does, 2 Nubian bucks, a Llama, 4 Silver Fox rabbits, around 15 chickens, 3 Anatolian Shepherd Dogs, and a few barn cats. And whatever goat babies and rabbit babies I have fore sale. I've always been passionate about horses and bought my first horse, Spirit, in 2005. I bought my second horse, Gunner, a year later. I lived in town so I had to board my horses for 2 years until I found a place in the country. I am legally blind and was a young widowed mother so my horses were my therapy. The 4 acre property I bought came with a horse, Shade, so my little herd grew to three. The huge bank barn was complete with a rooster so I bought a few more chickens. I was devastated by a horrific barn fire at the end of my first winter here in which I lost that beautiful barn and all my chickens and several cats. God blessed me and spared my children (who had just been playing in the barn), my horses (who I had just let out of their stalls), and my dogs (who I was able to get out of the kennel attached to the barn). I had one other large empty pole barn so the horses still had shelter. I rebuilt another small barn as those old bank barns can never be replaced!

I remarried in 2010 and my family grew from 2 kids to 4 and my furry family grew as well. Some horses came and went although I am not someone who buys and sells horses, I find home for rescues once they're ready or if a horse I bought ended up not being a good fit for us I would find a better home for them. My first horse, Spirit, passed away from chronic colic and ended up going septic after having a foal in 2014. When I added goats to my farm and needed to come up with a herd name, I named my farm after Spirit.

I looked into registering as a non-profit organization with the government and becoming a 501(c)(3) but this is my personal home and farm and registering as a 501(c)(3) business gives the government control and if the business ever "went under" they could force me to sell my barns! Plus it costs over $1000 ($1800 if I have someone do it for me) to register a business and become a 501(c)(3) which I can't afford. Even if I could afford that, I would rather put that money toward the animals! Any and all donations of any kind for rescues are still needed and greatly appreciated!

I now have-
6 horses: Gunner (dun, cowbred Quarter Horse gelding), Isis (grey, Arab/Quarter Horse cross mare), Gambit (dark bay/white, Tennessee Walker gelding), Sassy (black/white, Tennessee Walker mare), Pneuma (palomino, Tennessee Walker/Haflinger/Quarter Horse cross filly), and Raine (blue roan/gray, solid Paint Horse mare).

4 Nubian Dairy goat does: Martini, Faith, Abercrombie, and Daiquiri

2 Nubian bucks: Echo and Rendezvous

1 Llama: SweetE (chocolate brown female)

3 Dogs: Epona (tan brindle Anatolian Shepard spayed female), Dangleberry AKA Berr (apricot Anatolian Shepherd neutered male), Athena (fawn with liver mask Anatolian Shepherd spayed female).

4 Silver Fox rabbits: Black Ice (black doe), Bonnie (blue doe), as yet unamed (black doe with chocolate genetics), Lyle (lilac buck with chocolate genetics).
