About Bulrush Acres
Before relocating to Rush City, we were living on a 1.1 acre lot, including house and outbuildings! Space was very tight for horse keeping, so I began researching ways to maximize space, while having grazing areas (traditional rotational pastures). Grazing areas were great, but then my mare, Lady, experienced grass-induced laminitis in the fall. It was devastating! I had to adjust my management for her: keeping her off grass, but maximizing movement. This was when I stumbled upon "Paddock Paradise" by Jaime Jackson and track-system living for horses.
We moved to Rush City in July of 2023 and quickly fenced approximately 3.5 acres of pasture, set up with a 12' wide track. Realizing the benefits of track living for my personal horses over the years, I wanted to provide the opportunity for others to allow their horses track-life, opposed to traditional dry-lot paddocks or green, sugary-laden pastures. Especially to those who have/had metabolic concerns, past laminitis episodes, obesity, limited space, etc. HHTB was opened February 2024.
I have 20+ years of horse experience, and now increasing my knowledge of forage-based diets, how herds benefit on the track- and promote more movement like bands of wild horses! - I am also learning more about trimming feet and the health benefits of keeping horses barefoot.
I am so honored to be on this journey, and for you to be able to learn and grow with me!
In 2025 we added chickens to the Bulrush Acres family and offer free-range eggs from our lovely hens.
