Horseshoe Farm

Welcome to the Horseshoe Farm web site

Welcome from all at Horseshoe Farm

Horseshoe Farm is a 27 acre smallholding located in West Suffolk. It has been owned and operated its Karen and Susan Preston since January 2004. Our three Great Dane dogs Breeze, George and new female Skye live with us along with our four Horses Jimmy, Daly, Rio, and young horse Sammy Rolo who is growing up fast. We have three paddocks for the horses which are enclosed by post and rail fencing. Facilities include a stable block fixed field shelter, mobile field shelter and 60M x 30M sand and rubber menage for the horses. The rest of the land (large field out the back) has been planted for hay production. We produce our own hay using agricultural machinery that we have purchased or acquired over time. Tractors and large machinery are essential to maintain the land as there is a lot of hard work required to keep the place running. The paddocks require quite a bit of attention in the form of cutting, spring tine harrowing, rolling, spraying for hardy and poisonous weeds and fertilizing, to keep them in good order for the horses. These activities go on throughout the year although they are more intense in the spring and Autumn. Please use the navigation buttons on the left to look around the site.

Winter season 2020 at Horseshoe Farm

Last year was another challenging year for all of us at the farm.. We sadly lost our female Great Dane Breeze who lost her fight with cancer in January 2019 which was a very sad time for us. We still have the young Danes George 74Kg and Skye 62Kg and they brought much happiness in challenging times. We also have a new Dane Dinky who came from the RSPAC on the 29th February 2020 to join us. He is approximately three but we don't exactly know, is a Harlequin 62Kg. Jimmy continues to do well and is a total sweetheart. Daly was sadly put to sleep at the Farm last year after a short but terminal illness. Sammy Rolo is doing well all be it being a bit lively as spring approaches. Rio has developed more problems with the joints in his legs, despite being disabled from a foal he is clearly getting worse. Early march we have a new Great Dane joining us from the RSPCA at Kings Lynn. His name is currently Bruno but we intend to call him Dinky.
