Finding My Way to Moose River Farm

Finding My Way to Moose River Farm
Tune in when Patricia interviews Anne T. Phinney, elementary school teacher, co-owner of Moose River Farm, and author of Finding My Way to Moose River Farm: Living with Animals in the Adirondacks. As a young girl, Anne fell in love with horses. It was her childhood dream to own a horse and someday own a horse farm and devote her life to caring for animals. Anne loves all species of animals, but she burns with a passion for horses. In Finding My Way to Moose River Farm, where Anne is mother to a menagerie of animals—eleven horses, four dogs, three goats, two donkeys, one pig, an iguana, not to mention all the animals she rehabilitates from the wild—she shares heartwarming stories of both the animals on the farm she lives with and those injured animals who have found their way to Moose River that she has rehabilitated. Anne recounts stories of her working toward her dream as a young girl, grooming horses for the renowned international Olympic and World Cup competitor Michael Matz, to owning Lakeview Farm, a smaller parcel of land that was home for the first eighteen years of marriage, and finally to owning Moose River Farm, which was the culmination of all her dreams.
