About Us
Fox Crossing Farm is located in rural New Enterprise, Pennsylvania. Surrounded on all sides by the Allegheny Mountains, the farm is home to a herd of 17 horses and a mule, including our lesson horses, Julia, Big Mac, Kahlua, Brandy, Rosie, Ivan, Pharoah, Phoenix, Mae West, Waltz, Toffee, and Miss Lizzie Ricketts. Our farm is a forever home to horses that work in FCF programs. Fox Crossing Farm's horses live as a family unit and receive top-notch veterinary, dental, farrier, chiropractic, rehabilitation and individual nutrition health services. Our horses are out in group pastures 24/7 and are never stalled inside, except for veterinary care or extreme weather. FCF horses are blanketed in cold weather according to outdoor temperature and conditions, which is determined by age and body weight.
The Story Behind Our Name
Since the 1920s, Furry's Orchard has been known for its bountiful crops of apples and cherries. Over the years, the older fruit trees have been removed, and the land on which they stood was sown with hay and corn. A few apple trees at the edge of our farm still grace the hill across the road from a small plot of wooded land. Just inside those woods is a well-hidden red fox den, where litters of baby foxes can still be heard yelping at certain times of the year. On occasion, mama foxes are seen crossing the road with dropped apples in their mouths, gathered from under the orchard's remaining trees. That is how the farm has become known as Fox Crossing Farm.
