About our farm
The Mitchell Plain Farm is located within the sinkhole region of south central Indiana near Central, approximately 10 miles south of Corydon, the county seat of Harrison County. The farm is named after the physiographic division of Indiana (Mitchell Plain or Plateau) characterized by extensive karst topography formed within porous limestone. In addition to sinkholes, other common karst features include caverns, disappearing streams, blue holes and springs. Located nearby are Squire Boone Caverns and Binkley Cave, which is located just south of Corydon (For those of you who are caving enthusiasts refer to the Binkley Cave Page). Potable water for the farm originates from a well within the St. Louis Limestone, a member of the Blue River Group of Mississippian age (rocks formed about 300 million years ago!). The St. Genevieve Limestone, which overlies the St. Louis, is exposed throughout the 32 acres of the farm. Soils have formed in situ by weathering of this limestone and are typically nutrient poor and clay rich (terra rossa). Most horse pastures in the area consist primarily of fescue grass, which if managed properly, will provide grazing throughout the year. Our farm is mostly wooded with about 6 acres in fenced pasture, two barns, several corrals and an outdoor training arena.
We raise a number of different animals but this site is devoted primarily to our wild mustang horses. We hope this web site will promote interest in mustangs within the region and become a unique source for mustang horse information on the web.
The Farm Management Page discusses our composting program and the management of horses during severe weather. Check out the Farm Blog for more interesting stuff about our farm and other animals, including information on milking a goat and controlling internal parasites in small ruminants.
