Happy Clients

“I highly recommend S&S Farm's customized services to meet your needs. Nestled in a serene country setting, you will find a place to make memories that last a lifetime. The farm is exceptionally well maintained and that includes the exceptionally clean and organized stables. The owners, Simone and Skip, are incredibly welcoming and joyful. Simone's extensive years of experience and skills made me feel comfortable as she customized my horsemanship lessons to meet my personal needs and goals. SAFETY is a top priority from entrance to exit! The one on one lessons, layout of the stable, hands on learning from her with her attentiveness to detail and safety was amazing. I learned so much and had fun at the same time. Skip even offered to help me complete an item on my bucket list! Every time I leave, I look forward to returning! I'm grateful God led me to such a incredible place where memories were made that will last my lifetime.”

Brenda M., Ford City, PAEquine Encounters

“My daughter has always loved horses but was nervous about riding. The one-on-one equine experience at Freedom Country Farm was exactly what she needed. Simone was incredibly patient and kind, and by the end of the session, my daughter was confidently walking a horse! It was a beautiful, therapeutic experience for both of us.”

Karen L., Erie, PAEquine Encounter

“When an unexpected family emergency came up, Simone and Skip stepped in with very short notice and cared for our animals like they were their own. Daily updates, thoughtful care, and complete peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend them more.”

Mark T., Butler County, PAFarm Sitting

“We held our small wedding at Freedom Country Farm and it was simply magical. The setting is peaceful and open, perfect for a rustic outdoor ceremony. The team worked with our vendors and helped make everything seamless. Our guests still talk about the horses and the sunset views.”

Jessica & Mike D., Pittsburgh, PAEvent Hosting

“I stayed in the farm’s Airbnb apartment for a weekend getaway and left feeling refreshed and reconnected. Waking up to the sounds of nature and sipping coffee near the horses was just what I needed. Super clean, cozy, and unlike any hotel I’ve ever stayed in.”

Amanda C., Cleveland, OHAirbnb Stay

“I didn’t know how powerful it could be to just be with a horse. I chose the non-riding encounter and it brought so much calm and clarity into my life. This place and these animals have a healing energy that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget.”

Daniel R., Meadville, PAEquine Therapy & Bonding

The Landlords at S&S Farm are wonderful to rent from. They are kind, efficient, and accomodating. They are vigilant in keeping up with their property. I have felt at ease anytime in inviting any relatives or friends here to visit me at this location. They have great taste in decor and landscaping maintenance. They are very approachable anytime I have a question or need. They are very fair and consistsnt. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, peaceful and friendly environment.

My golden retriever and I have stayed at Simone & Skips (S&S Farm) for several months and it has been wonderful. It’s been the perfect place to restore my soul; quiet, clean, and if I ever needed anything they were quick to fix the problem or help me out. Question about the shower - immediately solved. Asked Skip about firewood for a little outside fire pit - brought it right down. One question about a slow cooker and Simone bought one for the place. They are so accommodating but also gave me my space. Beautiful vast property, plenty of roads to walk on right from the front door. Abe (my golden) absolutely loved the property, so much room to run. Cant say enough about how great it’s been to be here. You’ll love it!
