Meet Our Family
Adrienne and Clyde (Covered Call)
As a child, Adrienne always had a passion for and desire to be around horses, but didn't have the opportunity to start riding until she turned 20 as a student at Bowdoin College. After taking a 7-year hiatus and giving birth to her first daughter, Halle, Adrienne returned to riding with KT Horsemanship and quickly realized that she needed horses to forever be a part of her life. Clyde (Covered Call), a Thoroughbred gelding, is her first horse, whom she purchased as a 7-year-old in 2014.
Thanks to the strong and unwavering support of her husband, Pete, Adrienne founded Covered Call Farm in 2020, named after her first equine boy. She adopted a Mustang gelding, Safiro, from Horse Protection Association of Florida, a Welsh Cross pony mare, Ivy, from Hidden Pond Farm Rescue, and an OTTB gelding, Mai Tai, from Turning for Home, and is devoted to making the farm a place for others to enjoy as much as she and her family do.
Halle and Safiro
Fourteen-year-old Halle loves any and all animals, including her beloved Mustang, Safiro, whom we lost unexpectedly this year to pneumonia. She loves to trail ride, jump small cross rails and verticals, and work at liberty with her new mare, Zeena. In addition to her horsemanship skills, Halle has a talent for training cats. Kathy is the star pupil, with a repertoire that includes sit, high five, fist bump, pretty pose, lay down, roll over and jump through a hoop. Kevin is still learning. :-) Halle hopes to be a liberty trainer and live on her own horse farm.
Ivy
Ivy is a 13-year-old Welsh Cross pony mare, adopted in October 2022 from Hidden Pond Farm Rescue in Brentwood, NH. She has come a long way in her training, as a willing liberty partner for Halle, and has adapted well to her new farm and pasture mates. Ivy is a sweet, sensitive, curious and, at times, opinionated mare.
Mai Tai (Toledo Gold)
Mai Tai joined the herd in December and is a 5-year-old, off-the-track thoroughbred gelding, adopted through Turning for Home. He is a sweet, mild-mannered boy who is still adjusting to life just being a horse, having retired from racing less than a year ago.
Pete
Pete has been an automotive technician for 40 years, and owns and operates Pete's Automotive Care LLC in Deerfield, NH. He and Adrienne were married August 21, 2021 on the farm. In addition to two stepdaughters, Pete has two grown sons, Tyler, 30, and Cameron, 28. Tyler owns Growth & Gratitude Landscaping based out of Deerfield, NH and Cameron works with Pete as an automotive technician.
Kendall
Twelve-year-old Kendall is an avid baker, reader, writer, gymnast and Harry Potter fan, and mom to Mai Tai, fish and bunnies, Willow and Cashew. She loves spending time with her furr-babies and making memories with her friends. Kendall also enjoys skiing with her mom and camping with the family during the summer. Her goal this summer is to learn to canter and jump some small cross rails.
Zeena (Zeena's Rush)
Our newest addition to the farm, Zeena arrived in February from Massachusetts. She is a 6-year-old off-the-track thoroughbred mare who is now adjusting to life with three geldings and one grouchy pony. An all-around beautiful mover with a floaty gait and super go button, Zeena may one day shine in the dressage or jumping arena with Halle.
Kevin and Kathy
Kevin (sitting) and Kathy, our two tuxedo domestic long-haired cats, are brother and sister. We adopted them in January 2020 when they were six months old. They love farm life and regularly demonstrate their hunting prowess, but also love to snuggle up to Halle in her bed and sleep in the sun.
Willow
Willow, an American Rex, and Cashew, a Holland Lop, were adopted from House Rabbit Network in Westford, MA. They live with mom, Kendall, in her room and love to snuggle, be petted, play with toys, and eat lots of fresh hay and greens. Occasionally, you'll catch them doing zoomies, thumps and flops.
Cashew
Hamilton
Hamilton is our boarder and joined the herd in December. An 11-year-old chestnut off-the-track thoroughbred gelding, Hamilton is a sweet-natured, happy-go-lucky boy who loves to play, especially with Mai Tai. He enjoys sunbathing in the pasture and cherishes snuggles, grooming and carrots from devoted horse mom, Lauren.
