Fun Facts: My husband and I attended a horse sale to help a friend pick out a new companion. It may have been a bad idea for me to walk through the sale barn, because as soon as I saw this big handsome Palomino I fell in love. It helped that the two of us also share the same birthday! Cruz is always ready for an adventure and is usually my go-to mount as his stamina and power are unmatched on our farm!

Fun Facts:  Shawn and I both took a liking to this little bay roan. I have taken some working cow horse lessons on him, and Shawn is teaching him the “ropes” both in the field doctoring cattle or in the area team roping. When we aren’t doing anything in the arena, Slider is the perfect horse to take on the trail or to go help move cows at the neighbours! This talented little horse is one Shawn and I love to share.

Fun Facts: Despite his small size, Talon is the boss. He loves to play with my larger horses, but his very best friend is Hawk. Talon knows that Hawk will always look out for him, and he uses that to his full advantage. At feeding time, he will stand right under Hawk as he knows no other horse in our herd will try and steal out of their hay pile.

TV Roles: Talon plays the role of ‘Monty’ on Heartland.

Fun Facts: Rein was originally purchased by a ranch to be a working cattle dog, however, her stubbornness proved to be too much for daily ranch work. At two years old, they decided she needed to find a good home where she could be a “pet” and not a working dog.  Rein is a good girl, especially when she is not around livestock where her impulsive & stubborn nature sneaks through. She loves car rides, and hanging out with me on set, or at my store.

Fun Facts:I found ‘Turner’ as a tiny kitten while we were filming in the town of Turner Valley. A malnourished and very scared little stray, I scooped her up and decided she needed a good home. Now the wise old matriarch, she mostly keeps to her heated bed, and watches the younger cat’s play.

Sex: Cow
DOB: April 19th 2019
Breed: Miniature Jersey
Fun Facts: In 2011 a friend of mine bought a herd of Mini Jerseys and I put my name down for the first heifer calf born. That was Ella, who I had many years. Unfortunately, Ella has since passed on, but she left me with her two beautiful daughters Belle and Bonnie.  Belle is the best Moma, and I love watching her and her full sister hang out and groom one another.

Sex: Cow
DOB:  April 9th 2021
Breed: Black Angus Mix
Fun Facts:  Lily was born to any older cow who just couldn’t produce enough milk for her. One day I saw an ad online and decided to bring her home for my Jerseys to raise. From day one Lily made herself at home and is the friendliest cow I have ever had.

Fun Facts:Tuff is the father to many Jerseys we’ve had on the farm and is now retired to an easy life. He has always been so gentle and loving towards kids, so he was my go-to for “bull rides” when friends brought their children out to the farm. His joints are starting to fail him as arthritis sets in heavily, so we don’t ride him anymore, but he still seems to enjoy his days slowly following along behind “his herd” and keeping an eye on his granddaughter’s Bonnie & Belle.

Sex: Hen and Drake
DOB:  March 29th2021
Breed: White Call Ducks
Fun Facts: I love these little ducks! They spend their days roaming the yard looking for grubs and the best swimming hole. They are a noisy duo, especially my Sweet girl who loudly calls out any time there is a disturbance on the farm. She is better than the dogs at keeping me alerted!

Remi left us just before Christmas 2022, right before her 13th birthday. Remi brought so much joy to everyone she met. She was Shawn’s best friend from the day we brought her home and never took her eyes off him. This was a dog who wanted nothing more than to be a good girl. She never tested, never took a wrong step. From the first day we met her to the day we said goodbye she was perfect. Many will remember Remi through the role she played as Heartland’s beloved farm dog.

When a friend bought a herd of Mini Jerseys, I put my name down for the first heifer calf born. Ella was first to come that spring and she gave me so many wonderful memories in the decade she lived with us. A sweet natured and loving cow, her legacy lives on in her two daughters Bonnie & Belle.

Strawberry was born on our farm and lived many happy years here with her brother Mimsy. She was not the most social rabbit with humans, but she loved spending her days close to her brother Mimsy, keeping the vegetation mowed down around our hen house.

Gilman was always the adventurer. Going on many unplanned trips in trailers or hay floats we can only imagine what became of this orange tabby. We always did a “Gilman check” every time a trailer left the property, but somehow he managed to always get the best spot in the Dodge. He definitely lived his 9 lives to the fullest and was right there helping with chores on the farm from 2011-2020. I will always miss your antics little buddy.

Fun Facts: I first got to know this gentle Buckskin at only 2-months old as his mom was pastured in one of my grassy fields for the summer. When it was time for him to be weaned, I asked if I could purchase this friendly little guy. Cash and I went on many trail riding adventures together over the years, but I couldn’t help but notice he was a horse who longed for human attention. I was working long hours away from home and Cash didn’t seem to bond with the other horses in my herd. When my friend Shay reached out looking for a companion something just told me this was meant to be. Cash and Shay are the perfect team and I am so happy that now she gets to explore the Alberta foothills with this gentle boy. He gets the attention he deserves, a perfect trail companion – plus I still get to visit him!
