Bucktail Run? That's a weird name!

 

Well, yeah, it kinda is ! The reason why we named the farm "Bucktail Run" is because we have a lot of deer here. Our property runs on both sides of the street and on one side, there are always the does and fawns by the barn and on the other side of the street, the bucks bed down behind our house. It is pretty common for us to see the bucks bedded down in the field with the horses, especially during the summer. And when we get close enough to them, all we see are the white tails running away. So that's why we named the farm Bucktail Run, because we always see the buck tails running away from us.

 

Bucktail Run is operated by Rachell Schneider with the help of her husband, Ed.

 

Rachell manages the farm and its residents day to day care. She grew up showing hunters and jumpers, and is now training for lower level eventing. She worked as a veterinary technician for both small animals and horses, having worked at such notable places such as New England Equine Practice and Riverside Animal Hospital in New York. She retired from veterinary medicine to manage the farm and to raise Eleanor, Ed and Rachell's daughter.

 

Ed is a CDL driver in Cranberry and like most husbands of horse crazy women, he married into horses. When Ed is home, he can usually be found out in the fields passing out cookies and peppermints while he mows the grass or checks the fence line.
