Extreme weather has taken a toll on several farms in both Kentucky and Florida this week, with multiple facilities affected by damaging tornadoes.
Hidden Rose Farm in Lexington, KY was one such facility that took devastating damage from the storm. While no horses or humans were injured in the storm, the damage is extensive and a GoFundMe has been started to support owner Chelsea Sherman as she regroups. The farm is also in need of volunteer hands as the clean-up and rebuilding process begins.
We are so grateful to have such amazing members who went out this morning to help Chelsea Sherman at Hidden Rose Farm…

Editor’s Note: An EN reader brought to our attention that there were some horse injuries sustained at Hidden Rose Farm: “Kokoro, a well loved pony, had to have surgery, and is still working his way through recovery. There were minor injuries as well, but the wonderful Tonya Hatfield Park of Park Equine Hospital donated all the care and treatment for the horses injured, including Kokoro.”
In Ocala, Charlotte Collier’s farm was hit by another tornado, sustaining heavy damage but sparing all horses and humans on the property.
