Lady and Nathan - the DLF Horses

Farm Friends - we are reaching out to you for financial support. We ask not for ourselves, but for the horses of Daniel Lady Farm. If you've visited the Historic Daniel Lady Farm, then you have likely met Lady and Nathan. Their story is one of resilience, devotion, and the quiet power of compassion.

Lady is a striking black-and-white mare with a gentle soul and wise eyes. We noticed she was not her usual self, and placed a call to the vet. After a thorough exam and workup, Lady was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, a condition that requires daily medication to keep her healthy and comfortable. That medication alone costs $5 every day. To stay sound and pain-free, Lady also needs special senior feed, extra hoof care, and more frequent vet visits, all essential parts of her daily comfort and long-term well-being.

By her side is Nathan, a senior gray gelding and Lady’s bonded companion. Where Lady goes, Nathan follows. Their connection brings calm, safety, and emotional stability to them both. While Nathan doesn’t require special medical care, he does share Lady’s nutritional needs and must also eat the same special feed to stay healthy.

Together, Lady and Nathan go through about two 50-lb bags of feed each week—that’s eight bags a month, totaling over $200 monthly. That's just for feed, and doesn't include hay. When combined with Lady’s medication and care, their monthly support needs add up quickly—but the impact of that care is priceless.

Your generosity ensures that:

  • Lady receives her daily life-saving medication
  • Both horses have consistent access to proper care and nutrition
  • Lady stays comfortable, sound, and pain-free
  • Their bond is protected, allowing them to age with dignity together

Become a Monthly Hero
A recurring monthly donation is one of the most powerful ways to help Lady and Nathan. Monthly gifts allow Daniel Lady Farm to plan ahead, ensure medications are never missed, and keep feed bins full—no matter the season.

Other Ways to Help
If monetary donations aren’t the right fit, there are many other meaningful ways to support Lady and Nathan:

  • Tractor Supply gift cards
  • Sponsorship of a month of feed or medication
  • Share their story to help us reach more caring hearts

Every contribution—large or small—directly improves the quality of life for these two beloved horses. Because of supporters like you, Lady and Nathan wake up each day safe, fed, and loved.

Thank you for standing with them.
