Silversmith Farm is on Johns Island, set
back in the woods, up a long winding driveway. You may see Owls,
hawks, Bald Eagles, pileated wood peckers, Bobcats, Deer, river otters,
Foxes, hummingbirds and lots of beautiful birds and
butterflies.
We are nature lovers and have established a number of
bird and butterflies gardens on our farm. Here are some photos from around our farm. Starring our "pasture potatoes", Peruvian Paso gelding, Martell and our SSH/ TWH gelding, Joey, in their 10
acre pasture,
 OUR NEW HORSE!! "Fendi"
(reg name Pretty Foolish) is a reg SSH/TWH show filly, 4 1/2 yrs old
purchased from Bayfield Farm in Oxford, NC. Fendi is a gorgeous
chestnut tobiano girl, trained by Kevin Gilliam. We look forward to taking her on trail rides with
Joey and Martell and training her for Hunting Tests. Fendi arrived on
12/4/09. Here is a video of her meeting the boys

Hondo's Glorious Joe "Joey" , a SSH/TWH was purchased February 2003
from Golden Gates Farm (now in Shelbyville, TN) and has been a wonderful
trail and field horse. He is drop dead gorgeous!!
 
Martell is a reg Peruvian Paso gelding who was bred by Cherokee Farms
in Yamasee, SC. He was purchased at age 6 in 1995 and was our first trail
and field horse. Martell is gentle and has been riding kids all his life.
Toro [1991-2009] Tes D'Oro Del Rey, a reg Peruvian Paso gelding was
purchased at age 5 in 1996. He was our second trail and field horse.
Sadly, we lost Toro to complications from Cushings disease in 2009.
