Heidi Marty’s farm is seen after a fresh snow fall, in Shade, Ohio.

Heidi walks one of her horses from the enclosure she teaches riding in back to her restored barn in Shade, Ohio. Heidi works two part time jobs in addition to teaching, spending time with her grandkids, taking care of her farm and horses, and volunteering in the community. She does so to help support her horse habit, Heidi says with a laugh.

Lia used to ride horses growing up, and is glad for the opportunity with Heidi to pass along this skill to her daughter.

Marvin walks through their barn while feeding the horses in Shade, Ohio. The barn, originally built in 1860, has seen a number of renovations. “They [contractors] wanted me to tear the thing down,” said Heidi. Included in the renovations are a new roof that Marvin and his son installed themselves.
