Heavenbound Farm has been home to Australian Shepherd dogs since 1973 and Missouri Foxtrotter horses since 1985. We started breeding Aussies in 1978 and they have become a large part of life. They are wonderful companions, silly entertainers, protectors of life and property. Never a day goes by that I am not amazed by something new this breed can understand. They know when sorrow is bearing us under; they join in the giddiness of rolling in a fresh snowfall; they listen for the sound of our truck engine and run to meet us at the door; they see the danger of a horse getting too close to us in the field and get in between to drive him away; they see the opossum and raccoon as thieves of our supplies and protect our goods and gardens; they snuggle in our bed (if allowed) and keep an ear out for danger while we sleep; they guide “our little sheep” away from harm by standing in the gap. How could life be right without our Aussies? What better friend could there be? If you have never experienced an Aussie’s devotion, check them out—a great addition to a family and a wonderful companion if you are single. Fun, adaptable, smart, beautiful. They have it all!

Heavenbound is also home to Missouri Foxtrotter horses, the pleasure horse of today. Smooth gaited, sensible, lovely to watch and ride. They are good natured and medium sized horses that will return you to the barn less fatigued after a long day in the saddle. More like a big dog than a horse. Come try one out—”To Ride One Is To Own One.” |

This is Heavenbound’s Fly, with his best friend, Noah. Noah and Fly enjoy all outdoor activities together, from the 4-wheeler to the Frisbee. They have had a great time bonding this past year. What a great first dog for Noah, who was 10 when we brought Fly home. After looking at many breads and doing lots of research, we are so happy with our choice. This first year was filled with Puppy Manners class, first year grooming, and handling where they took reserved champion for Chautauqua County 4/H—WOW, what a great honor for such a young dog! Agility and rally went well also. Noah has learned a lot from his best friend—how to teach him, how to care for another, and patience. |
