A few more photos from today, as we are getting into our routines, the horses have settled in beautifully, and are enjoying being re-acquainted again. Native Ruler, Mucho Chrome and I AM AWESOME were the most vocal, strutting their legs and puffing their chests at each other. Terra Luna and Loyalist wrapped necks and took long deep breaths. Ellie and Mia performed aerial moves around the herd, while Murphy and Nagahyde stood back and waited patiently to join their herd once again.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Unbridled Forever Farm! 🐴🍂

A very special first today — our first day of pasture turnout at our forever home! Watching our Thoroughbreds enjoy their new pastures makes every mile, every move, and every dream worth it.

Their forever home. Their happily ever after. ❤️

First morning turn out, in our Unbridled Forever home, with Seattle Surprise, Mishegas, Breezy Song.

🐴 WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE DAY! OUR FOREVER HOME IS FINALLY HERE! ❤️

Can you believe it? 32 of our 34 horses moved to Unbridled Forever Farm in ONE DAY! 😭❤️

Thirty days of planning and working toward this moment, and watching our horses begin settling into their forever home is something my heart can hardly put into words.

Here are a few photographs from last night as we began getting everyone settled. The herd settled in beautifully and peacefully. Seeing them resting comfortably in their new surroundings filled my heart with gratitude.

And there’s something else that has my heart smiling: this farm is so perfectly set up operationally for the number of horses we care for and the level of care they need. After years of managing a herd spread across multiple farms and barns, having a property where our daily routines, feeding, specialized care, rehabilitation, and herd management can come together in one place is an incredible blessing. This layout makes sense for our operation, our workload, and most importantly, the horses. It gives us a foundation to care for them more efficiently while keeping their comfort and well-being at the center of everything we do.

To every set of hands that helped make this monumental day possible, THANK YOU! From Chris Taylor to Kristina Calvert, Ronda, Kayla, Steve, Brett, Melissa, Kitty, Samantha, Dorian, Bob, Dr. Cahill, Beth, and so many others who showed up, stepped in, and helped us get the job done — we could not have done this without you. ❤️

We simply ran out of daylight! Loyalist and Breezy Song are our lone soldiers still waiting to make the trip, and they’ll be picked up Friday. Then we’ll have everyone home.

For so long, our herd has been spread across multiple farms and barns. Now, one by one, they are coming home to the place we worked so hard to make possible.

34 horses. One forever home. A lifetime of promises kept. 🐎❤️

This is more than a move. It’s the beginning of a new chapter for Unbridled Spirits Thoroughbred Retirement Ranch — a place designed around the horses, their comfort, their care, and their right to a beautiful life after racing.

My heart is overflowing. Forever grateful. Forever home.

Welcome home, my beautiful herd. You are safe, you are loved, and you are HOME. 🏡🐴❤️

🙏❤️ My heart is full, and my prayers are many.

Tomorrow, we begin moving 25 equines from The Double Dunn Ranch to their forever home at Unbridled Forever Farm. On Friday, the Bougie Boutique Band of Four and Dr. Cahill’s band will come home, too.

Please pray for every horse, hauler, loader, and helper involved. These aren’t simply horses we’re moving—they’re my family, each with a unique story and cherished place in my heart.

After 14 years of dreaming and working, our scattered herd will finally be together in one safe, loving place.

Please pray for safe roads, calm horses, careful hands, and peaceful arrivals.

After all these years, we’re finally bringing our family home. 🐴🏡❤️

Pardon My Paddock 💩 — Graining Comes First! 🌾🐴

A morning ritual since June 2025, Seattle Surprise, Mishegas, Loyalist, and Breezy Song have enjoyed their residency at Dr. Shaine Cahill’s farm in Geneseo, Illinois.

Dr. Cahill’s chiropractic practice treats an incredible variety of patients, from dogs and cats to sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows, and even pigs! 🐷 And this curious band has enjoyed a front-row seat to meet her clientele, making for some pretty entertaining days!

Nestled in the countryside, there’s a peaceful, easy feeling here that’s hard to describe and even harder to leave. As we prepare to move to our forever farm, these are the simple moments, familiar faces, and quiet country mornings we’ll dearly miss. ❤️

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a place feel like home. 🐎🌾
