Golden Glade Ranch: About Us

​​

At Golden Glade Ranch, our vision is to create a living, learning sanctuary where people, horses, and the land can thrive together. We are in the early stages—building from the ground up—and sharing every step as we go.

 

Our journey began with our families dream: for Gigi to be raised, educated, and inspired by the rhythms of the farm, the wisdom of horses, and the wonders of nature. Here, homeschooling isn’t confined to books; it’s woven into daily life—growing food in organic, syntropic gardens, caring for chickens and ducks, and learning from every season. Nature, we believe, is one of our greatest teachers.

 

Natural horsemanship is at the heart of our approach, guiding everything from how we raise rare and beautiful horses to how we nurture character and curiosity in our family. Every day brings hands-on lessons—starting new fillies, continuing Paige’s education, and training together under the mentorship of extraordinary teachers like Leah Van Ewijk.
 

We believe in the power of community and learning together. That’s why we document our process—sharing honest stories, practical insights, and Gigi’s milestones on our blog and social channels. We invite mentors and teachers from all walks of life to contribute their knowledge and help shape our journey.

 

Our mission:

To cultivate a thriving, regenerative farm and horse haven—where animals, people, and nature grow in harmony, and where learning is lifelong and shared.

 

Our values:

 

• Stewardship for land, animals, and people

• Integrity and transparency in all we do

• Curiosity and open-minded learning

• Community—connecting, supporting, and celebrating one another

• Excellence—in horsemanship, farming, and education

 

How did we get here?

Golden Glade Ranch grew out of hands-on experience, a passion for rare horses and healthy land, and a belief that the best learning happens outside, in the real world. We started with big dreams, a small herd, some chickens and ducks, and the willingness to ask for help. Today, we’re still learning—inviting you to join us from the very beginning.

 

What’s next?

We’re focused on building—our farm, our herd, our gardens, and our knowledge. We share our wins,  challenges, and  lessons learnt.
 

If you’re a fellow learner, mentor, or simply curious about a life where land, animals, and people grow together, we invite you to follow our story and be part of our community.
