Iron Spring Farm Newsletter | March 2020

March finds us welcoming spring in Pennsylvania. The farm's gardens and fields are notably greener. The daffodils are blooming and our cherry trees are flowering inÂ beautiful shades of pinks.

All the ISF horses are busy shedding out their winter coats and enjoying the warming days of mud and sunshine. We have two healthy and happy foals on the ground so far, withÂ five more to go.Â

The breeding shed openedÂ March 9. We have extended our early breeding special to be in effect all breeding season- see additional information on that below.

Breeding clients: don't forget to give us a heads up when your mare is on her way to cycling. Coordination is key! There is currently no overnight shipping available. Contact our office at (610) 383-4717 or info@ironspringfarm.comÂ

We've recently added an Educational News section to our website so you can quickly navigate to our years of educational articles by ISF staff and notable contributors.Â
