Cows & HorsesLike many farms, the Eveland Family Farm has cows and horses too! You can visit the horses on the farm, and see the cows grazing while taking a hay ride through the fields. We have a Sorrel Quarter Horse, Courtney, who enjoys hay and grass. Sorrel is the coloring of Courtney; the word was probably named after the color of the flowers on the sorrel herb. Sorrel horses are solid-colored, ranging from golden red to deep burgundy. American Quarter Horses are the first breed of native United States horses. This breed evolved when different horses brought to the US were bred together, it is a combination of Arab, Turk, and Barb horses. Quarter horses are very powerful animals, and are often used in racing for their amazing ability to outrun other breeds in short distances. It is believed that the horse gets its name because it was originally bred specifically to run in quarter-mile races. Charolais Cattle are a breed of cattle that come from Charolais, France. The cows, today raised mostly for meat, have an almost pure white coat.
