The herd that anchors the farm.

Flying Changes Farm keeps a working herd of horses alongside Houston and Kronk, our goats with big personalities. Their routines set the pace for campers, pilots, and developers who visit the property.

  • Rotational grazing
  • Hands-on grooming
  • Pasture walks
  • Runway-aware fencing

Daily rhythm

Animal care keeps the farm grounded while aviation, camping, and coding roll on.

Morning feed

Staggered feeding lets the herd graze both sides of Pumpkintown Road safely. Goat pair Houston and Kronk oversee the first hay drop.

Pasture rotation

Portable fencing and refreshed water points protect the soil while the horses wander between tree line shade and open fields.

Runway coordination

Gate checks and light cues keep animals clear whenever Pinnacle Paramotor operations are underway.

Evening checks

Sunset walkthroughs include hoof checks, mineral top-offs, and a final headcount before the hangar lights go low.

Care priorities

  • Regular farrier and vet support scheduled around storm recovery.
  • Pasture improvement underway post–Hurricane Helene.
  • Goat-proof fencing on the roadside paddocks.
  • Natural shade zones preserved for hot Carolina summers.

Visiting the herd

Visits focus on education and mindful interaction. Horse names stay within the family, but guests learn about herd dynamics and care.

  • By appointment only; email to coordinate.
  • Closed-toe shoes and weather-ready gear encouraged.
  • Observation areas marked near the hangar.
  • Photography welcome—tag us once social links go live.

How the herd supports the farm

  • Manure management fuels compost used in garden expansions.
  • Animal routines influence the campsite schedule and guest flow.
  • Behavior data informs future software prototypes.
  • Houston and Kronk boost morale for visiting builders.

Staying aware

Animals move between acreage on both sides of Pumpkintown Road. Guests and pilots should follow farm signage to keep everyone safe.

  • Watch for crossing lights and flaggers during herd moves.
  • Keep dogs leashed and away from fences.
  • Report any downed lines or gates right away.
  • Let us know if you plan drone footage so we can prep the animals.
