My Story
Hold Your Horses Farm: A Dream Realized
In the heart of Christiana, TN, nestled amidst lush pastures and the hills of Tennessee, lies Hold Your Horses Farm—a sanctuary born from dreams and fueled by love, compassion, and a profound connection to heaven.
​
For Angie, the visionary founder and CEO of Hold Your Horses Farm, the journey to creating this haven began long before the first fence post was erected, or the barn doors swung open. It began with a series of dreams—vivid, ethereal glimpses into a realm where love knows no bounds and the colors of the rainbow dance with joy.
​
From her earliest recollections, Angie's dreams transported her to a place beyond the confines of earthly existence—a place where she walked the halls of a celestial Divine school, conversing with ancestors, family, and friends who had gone before her. These encounters, suffused with pure, unbridled love, left Angie yearning for more, her heart overflowing with a longing to stay amidst the heavenly embrace.
But it was one particular dream—a vision of a meadow teeming with horses and deer, bathed in the warm glow of the sun—that ignited a spark within Angie's soul. In this vision, she felt a profound connection to the land, to the animals who grazed upon it, and to the people who shared in its abundance. It was a vision of healing, of renewal, of unity—a vision that beckoned Angie to bring it to life.
​
With unwavering determination and a deep sense of purpose, Angie embarked on a journey to turn her dream into reality. Drawing upon her diverse background as a veteran, registered nurse, and equine-partnered facilitation coach, she set out to create a sanctuary where humans and animals could come together in harmony, finding solace, healing, and connection amidst the beauty of nature.
​
And so, Hold Your Horses Farm was born—a place where the love of animals and the healing power of nature converge to create a space of refuge and transformation. Here, amidst the rolling hills and whispering trees, visitors find sanctuary—a haven where they can pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.
​
​But Hold Your Horses Farm is more than just a refuge; it's a testament to the power of intention, perseverance, and the belief that dreams can indeed come true. For Angie, the realization of her vision serves as a beacon of hope—a reminder that with faith, love, and unwavering determination, anything is possible.
As visitors from near and far are welcomed with open arms to Hold Your Horses Farm, they too become part of Angie's dream—a dream of healing, of connection, and of the boundless possibilities that await when we dare to follow our hearts.
​
So come, dear friends, and join us at Hold Your Horses Farm—a place where dreams take flight and miracles unfold, where love knows no bounds, and where the promise of heaven meets the beauty of earth. We welcome you with open hearts and open arms—together, let us embark on a journey of healing, hope, and endless possibility.
