LOCAL FAMILY FEATURE
Horsin’ Around
Brooklyn and Joshua Buchanan say that they “actually don't have many animals but all are
like family.” They have 2 mini horses (Pete and Houston), 2 labs (Dolly and Opal), and 2 barn cats (Vinny and Kiki), and they drove all the way to Kansas to pickup Houston, their 9 month old foal. Brooklyn shares that “he was so small we actually hauled him back in the bed of our truck in a dog crate. We got some really funny looks.” As far as their home, she goes on to share, “We have a huge wrap around porch and spend most of our family time on it. We don't work normal hours, and our kids are not in daycare, so we work around the clock to keep our business growing, and develop the minds of our children… Joshua and I both tag team everything in our lives and work together very well. I'm not sure what we would do without each other. We work hard to be very present when we are together as a family.” Brooklyn continues, “We keep the boys involved as much as possible and helping to feed the horses and help on our property are developing them their minds and work ethic.” She goes on, “Breakfast is our favorite meal, and we always make omelets and eat together HOME RIVER VALLEY 11
