Come Learn About Me!

  My name is Courtney Anderson. I have been apart of the Anderson Horse Farm located in rural Heyworth for 23 years. I am 23 years old and have always known life with horses. I am a senior at ISU and also work full time at a bank. Through the horse experiences I have learned responsibility, how to care for horses, different feeding regimens, and the ins and outs of farm life. I try to spend as much time as I can outside with the horses and caring for them. I have ridden most all of our horses but my two favorites are the horses I own personally. My horses have a registered name that is on their papers and a barn name that they are called each day. My horse Denver or Zippo TE Maid and Bo or Cody Bo Winchester are the two I prefer to ride and show. I was involved in 4H for 10 years and helped others for an additional 5. I was also involved in FFA for 4 years in high school and would go to various weekend horse shows over the past 20 years. My mother started this farm and has inc...

Due to weather chan ges such as frozen ground to mud and back and also in the summer when there is little to no rain.     When the farrier comes to trim our horse’s hooves this is the process. These are things that anyone can do with their animals if they choose, they do not need a certification but do need their own tools. We choose a farrier due to the number of ho rses we have and that hooves need to be cared for carefully because diseases and sickness can affect a horse through their hooves.     First he will clean out the hoof with a hoof pick. He is cleaning dirt, rocks, sand, mud etc out of the hoof. Once that is clean he will take a knife and cut down the horse’s frog. T...

All Time Best Of Anderson Horse Farm

Check out the best posts from Anderson Horse Farm, these are my top 5 favorites! https://andersonhorsefarm.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-great-debate-english-vs-western.html I love this post because I have had experiences with both disciplines and understand how different they are. It can help the reader comprehend the topic as a whole and potentially make some choices on which discipline they want to get in to if they're just getting started.  https://andersonhorsefarm.blogspot.com/2024/09/understanding-ffa-record-books.html This post is in my top 5 because FFA was a huge part of my high school extracurriculars and it gave me so many experiences and opportunities. I even won a competition with my record book because I understood the prompt and executed it well. The post can be educational for all.  https://andersonhorsefarm.blogspot.com/2024/09/secretariat-profile.html This is by far my favorite post of my entire blog. Although this isn't about one of my horses specifically, every...
