Touch of Equine

Touch of Equine is my gestalt coaching practice that operates at Farm Away, the farm vacation stay that my sister and business partner runs a few miles from our home farms. In simple terms, gestalt means wholeness or flowing into form. Gestalt is very experiential and clients find the process to be therapeutic in nature. This methodology flows beautifully with nature and the horses who support the clients in their healing journey. The horses are deeply connected to our humanity and are natural Gestaltists. They see deeply into our souls and their hearts can reach places we ourselves do not know how to find. If you feel called to feeding your soul, indulging your curiosity and creating a vision for your future that excites you, reach out. The herd and I would love to hear from you!

Farm Away Retreat

Farm Away is the result of the love of Agriculture that we share. Our vision is to provide a peaceful venue in the country to allow families to stay and experience agriculture. We offer tours of our neighboring sheep and cattle farms to stimulate conversations around agriculture and the importance of knowing where your food comes from. Our large 5+ bedroom home and surrounding grounds allow for large families to gather and stay. We are also host to small wedding ceremonies, retreats and businesses looking for a quiet spot for team building.  We offer whole house rentals as well as rentals by the room.

Plett Cattle + Performance Horses

“My husband and I raise grass-fed Longhorn and Commercial Beef in the Grunthal area. We offer Longhorn Prime Beef year-round. One of my passions is growing my connection to these majestic creatures, horses. I want to know them and know them well. This passion turns into sharing what I know to help human and horse live in harmony. Nothing is more awesome than seeing a horse and rider do what they love together. I believe we were created for the horse, and the horse was created for us to enjoy. Learn more.

Family parties were a veritable food fest between her grandmother and her aunties, and there was always a pot of delicious baked beans.

Suzan and her husband Andrew have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, a grandson, and two sons-in-law who love to eat! Her family has supported The Stak Co since its inception. From social media campaigns and accounting to helping out at farmers’ markets, they always find time to lend a helping hand.
