Horse Sense & Heart: Getting to Know Farmer Ken and Timber
Hey there, Bloom & Barn community! Kelley here, and today, I'm excited to pull back the curtain on another special connection here on the farm, one that combines the quiet strength of a horse with the gentle wisdom of a farmer: Farmer Ken and his beautiful Arabian Gelding, Timber.
You might know Farmer Ken from his fresh produce, but there's a whole other side to his life that truly embodies the spirit of rural living. Ken has a deep passion for horses, and his bond with Timber is something truly special to witness.
Timber is a magnificent Arabian Gelding, known for his intelligence, endurance, and elegant presence. Watching Ken work with Timber in the round pen is like observing a silent conversation. There's a synergy, a mutual respect, and a profound understanding that only comes from years of patience and connection. The round pen isn't just an enclosure; it's their personal space for training, bonding, and meditative moments. It's where Ken hones Timber's skills and where Timber, in turn, reflects Ken's calm and steady demeanor.
This relationship speaks volumes about the kind of care and dedication Ken brings to everything he does, whether it's crafting intricate metal art or nurturing his crops. It's a reminder that true craftsmanship and quality often stem from a patient, understanding heart.
We're incredibly fortunate to have both Ken and Timber as part of our extended farm family. They embody the quiet beauty and dedication that often goes unseen in the hustle and bustle of daily life. The next time you see Ken, feel free to ask him about Timber – you'll quickly see the passion and pride in his eyes.
Warmly,
