Kim Hope - Dreamer, Rider, Creative, Hardworking Mama and Grandma
“For nearly 20 years, I wanted nothing more than to wake up at 6 a.m., wander out in my pajamas to feed my horses, and stand – cup of coffee in hand – watching them munch hay. “ - Kim Hope, owner of Piccadilly Acres Farm
Years ago, Kim dreamed of buying an acreage and moving her horse home. She knows firsthand the struggles of inadequate care, poor quality hay and feed, and irresponsible discontent by barn facility owners. Kim has a passion and love for horses and understands that they have individual needs - and their incredible healing power.
In 2001, Kim’s great Aunt Alice, gifted her $5,000. She spent much of it on a purchase of a horse named Jethro. Through two cancer survivals, a divorce and working far too many years, in a job she didn't love, Jethro has always been her rock. He has gifted her wellness, strength and hope.
Through some ingenuity, hard work and help from many, she have come to own this once renowned horse stable.
“I am incredibly proud to have finally brought Jethro home. My goal now is to restore the farm to its former beauty and create a healing space for everyone who visits..” - Kim Hope
“Within a day my horse was settled and happy in his new home.”
