We moved to the Greater Cincinnati region in October 1997 with our then 2-year-old to start First Farm Inn.  A computer programmer, Dana commutes to the city each day but occasionally entertains with the keyboard or grand piano.  Guests may get to see and hear him in a musical with one of the community theaters. 

Never anticipating having an entire herd of horses, we listened to guests' requests to ride.  After seeing how animal-loving, intelligent people who thought they knew how to ride horses rode, Jen began learning how to teach and evaluating riding disciplines. 

Largely self taught by riding bareback on untrained horses, Jen has created a riding experience that includes getting acquainted with the horses from the ground during grooming, practicing balance and control, then actually riding our horses like they were your own.  (We learned shortly after acquiring multiple horses that Dana is extremely allergic, as he is to Odo, our border collie and most of the kitties....)

Our son Ty is now living in the tiny house to help out with critter feeding and room cleaning.
