Meet Doc, he is our Timberbrook baby meaning he was born actually on our farm in 2016. Exactly one year before the Whitaker;s acquired the farm with the sole purpose to change lives, who knew they would change his. It seemed as fate that Doc was brought back home to us, as Doc was bought and sold twice, not being a good fit for his previous owners. Chelsea found Doc while searching for a tractor on the internet. When she finally got a one on one with Doc she did some natural horsemanship on site and knew Doc would fit right into the mission and plan she had for the farm, and she was right! Doc excelled with horsemanship training and is currently in Chelsa’s opinion the most handsome horse on the farm.
