Piper's Respite Farm

28/03/2023

Holidays are coming up and Agnes is calling 🙂 if anyone is interested in respite for their loved one staying at a beautiful house near the main beach, has pool, close to shops and lovely bush walks and skate park down the road. Sup boarding, kayaking or maybe a sunset cruise on the famous LARC are just a few of the possible activities. Fish feeding at the marina, lunch over looking the beautiful crystal clear waters of 1770 and a short stroll to Round Hill lookout are also some of the awesome things to do and places to see in the area!! Contact details below, I look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi 🙂 I’m organising a weekend at Agnes Waters and thought I’d put the word out so if you are interested send me an email and I’ll get all the info to you asap. Also I have no set dates yet so if you have a preference pop that in the email and I will see which dates are more popular 🙂 I’m hoping to include a sunset ride on the larc, kayaking, rain Forrest and beach walks and lots of swimming in the pool 🙂 if you think this might interest your loved ones let me know and we can make it happen!!

If you think our respite farm would suit you or your loved one send me a message so we can organise a time for you to come out and meet us and check out our place 🙂 we also have a house at Agnes water that is close to the beach and has a pool 🙂 At this stage I am not offering equine or water activities on our farm but I am happy to source these activities from local businesses if required. In time I hope to open up fully and get my trusty ponies out for some love and dust off the kayaks for some fun 🙂

Hello 👋 it’s been a while so I thought I’d pop on and keep everyone in the loop :) unfortunately mandates are still going so at this stage I have to stay closed :( I have had quite a few pm’s from people still enquiring so it’s lovely to know majority of people are open to working with me :) hopefully 🙏 things change soon because I’m keen to get going again!! Hope you are all doing well and are safe and unaffected by these floods xo

Thought I’d pop in and say happy new year to everyone 🙂 I hope it’s a wonderful year for us all!! I have cancelled my insurance so at this stage my business is on hold 😞 I will keep you all updated and I really hope things change and I can restart 🙂 So if in the future the government gives choices back to the people and if you are open to having an unvaxxed (covid only) respite carer then please stay tuned 🙂 but if not then I understand and thank you for your support so far 🙂 I have everything crossed because I absolutely loved providing care and seeing people ride the horses was awesome!!! I know there is alot of covid around atm and will be for a while if not forever so I wish you all and your families good health and happiness 🙂 xo

Hello everyone, this is the post I never ever wanted to publish. As I’m sure you are all aware there is a day looming that is going to change our country and affect everybody, every business, every community and every state or territory. I am totally against discrimination in any way shape or form and I have raised my kids to be respectful, accepting and tolerant and on the 17th of Dec 2021 it will be mandatory or legal (not too sure about that) to discriminate against us simply for opting not to have a trial jab and I now have to explain to my kids how this can happen in our beautiful country 😞 At this stage it looks as though I have to close my business and wait and see if these ‘laws’ hold and if they don’t I can guarantee I’ll be back bigger and better 🙂 I am so sad, stressed, angry, frustrated, scared etc etc like we all are and I just ask that we all as individuals try to be kind to each other and don’t let these ‘laws’ segregate our communities and our families because it’s just simply not worth it in the long run. I know many of you may not agree with my decision and I may not with yours but let’s respect and accept each other despite that. Together we are strong and I believe we can all get through this challenging time without segregation and discrimination!! I am still open for business up till the last day I can and I still have some available time so if you need respite prior give me a call and hopefully I can slot you or your loved one in for an awesome experience and fun times 🙂 Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this amazing business started and thank you to those that gave me a chance and trusted me with their loved one and just know that my door is always open for a cuppa and chat and I will never turn anyone away if they want to play with the horses 🙂 big hugs and hopefully this is not good bye but see-ya later 🙂 xo

I absolutely love essential oils and I try and keep the chemicals in my house as low as I can. Making my own wipes and hand wash is something that makes me feel very good and today that’s what I’ve done 🙂 beautiful fresh smelling, healthy wipes so all my bench tops will be sparkling clean and no chemicals 🙂

So very proud of this young lady!! She has been visiting for a couple of months now and in that time she has achieved so much!! She has gone from grooming to lead line to now riding independently with supervision!!! Huge goals being met but she’s not done yet 🙂 so glad I can be a part of her journey!! Then we finished off with a dip in the river 🙂

This is purely an appreciation post 🙂 my amazing husband has supported me throughout my business journey and he’s not a man of many words but his actions speak volumes!! He has been very busy on the farm lately and in between that he has finished my garden beds and I was getting a bit impatient about my swing chair and this morning I heard a noise and when I looked outside, there in the macadamia tree was my 6’4 hubby barely visible preparing the rope for my swing 🙂 he even tested it out first lol then I said “did you put it on a strong branch” and quick as he said “honey you would only need a twig” Lol

What’s a farm without a vegetable garden!!! Finally got mine started and hopefully will have some keen participants to help me out and reap the rewards of fresh produce 🙂 in the top garden I have planted cherry tomatoes, lettuce, beetroot, carrots and a lonely strawberry lol it may not be pretty but all the materials were things from around the farm that we no longer used so my awesome hubby took trash and made treasure 🙂 still more to plant so watch this space!!!

15/10/2021

Welcome to all the new comers to the page 🙂 as you will see from previous posts, we have lots to offer. Please feel free to call, text or email and I will be happy to chat and see if Pipers Respite Farm can accomodate your needs. I have a brochure I can email to you which explains exactly what we are hoping to achieve and what we can offer. I look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Just want to give a massive thumbs up to the flying high bird park!!! I went there 15 years ago and loved it (which surprised me cos I’m not a bird person 😕 ) but they have done so much more and the different animals that are there was awesome!!! I was expecting just birds but got so much more 🙂 I highly recommend it!!!

28/09/2021

The weather hasn’t been the best the last couple of days so indoor activities (craft, games, cooking, music) and a visit to the flying high bird park and mamminos ice cream was in order 🙂 Mia was nervous at first but bravely overcame her fears and fed every animal we could 🙂 I’m so proud of her!!! We also took a walk along the Main Street of Childers and checked out the old buildings and discovered a chemist museum which was awesome, felt like we stepped back in time 🙂
