Tantius Farm & Sanctuary

Tantius Farm provides a safe haven for equines that need a forever santuary home.   With our rolling hills to help keep them toned or the flat pastures for those that may have problems with hills, Tantius Farm is here to provide.

The majority of the pastures are fenced with 3 strands of 1 inch electric tape and the smaller pastures are now 3 board fencing wlith 1 in electric tape on the inside. A beautiful flowing stream runs through 2 of the pastures. 

Each horse has a ten x fourteen matted stall, fluffed with bedding, clean heated buckets of fresh water and individual special feeding for each horse, consisting of  timothy hay, equine senior, oats, hay stretcher and supplements.

West Monroe Fire Dept.

In June 2008, we hosted our second "drill night" with the West Monore Fire Dept. We discussed equine safety for both animal & human and went over basic horsemanship skills like haltering and leading. Most importantly, it gives our Fire Dept. a chance to get some hands on time with the horses, putting many of the fire personel at ease around these large animals. SInce we are in an area that many horse trailers travel through and farms around, they also wanted some ways to safely assist in rescue of a trailer accident.  We went over a couple of different types of horse trailers that we had on hand so they could see the difference in construction.

The horses love it and the fire dept has a good time too! Special thanks to the Canna's & the Davis's for their help. Here are a few pics from that night, courtesy of Jon Jenkins!
