Spring Is The Best Time To Join Our Program
We are about to begin our most exciting spring ever. Learn riding, natural horsemanship, horse training, music, history, and help preserve and promote nearly extinct strains of Colonial Spanish horses. Mill Swamp Indian Horses is a program of Gwaltney Frontier Farm. We are a non-profit 501 (c) 5 organization. We are all volunteers--no paid staff--just a lot of experienced horse people dedicated to producing better horses, but even more importantly, better people.
We are located outside of Smithfield, Virginia. To learn more about Mill Swamp Indian Horses see our website at www.msindianhorses.com and check out the Mill Swamp Indian Horses group page on Facebook.

I have made it a point lately not to squabble with the rank and file as much...maybe my Quixotic complex is taking a break...however..someone challeged me after I made an offhand statement that it was a pity that Charles Darwin has enjoyed such limited success in recent years...he asked me what special skills did I posess to merut such a statement..
ReplyDeleteWithout hesitation I was able to say, I help to make kids whole beings through horsemanship...grit, determination, courage, confidence and persistence are the things that a human creature needs to compete and survive on this old ball of rock. That is what we do...make great horses...and awesome people...and it just keeps on getting better and better.
I told him that some of those kids outran me over 25 miles....I am proud of that in no small measure.
Come on and play in the horse hair and dirt with us...we will teach you to handle you hoss, as young Lido said years back...
