About UsStoney Creek Farm was started in 1994 by Tim and Jodi Knecht, with one horse, one acre and a lot of dreams. Through a lot of hard work and determination, (not to mention the love and support of friends and family...and the grace of God) "Stoney Creek" now resides on a gorgeous 50 acre parcel and is home to many types of animals.
Along with our children we enjoy the constant pursuit of adding to and caring for our animals. Animals have always been a passion of ours and it seems the more exotic the better! Tim loves to have different and interesting animals all around him. We started with regular farm animals and progressed to animals not regularly seen around us.

Building our herd of Mini Zebu cattle took us to five different states, but the winters here are too harsh for them so they had to be sold. Tim then decided that Fancy pheasants were the way to go. We now have Red and Yellow Golden pheasants, Silver Pheasants, Amhurst and Reeves. This only led to Apricot wood ducks, Mandarin ducks and a pair of Mute Swans...Hey! What is a pond without swans? We also have a pair of Llamas and some mini donkeys. In December 2007 we added two Royal Yak from Missouri to our Group. I was not sure about this venture, but Tim assured me they don't get as big as I think!! (Yeah Right!)
With each exotic auction that comes up, rumors circulate and neighbors wonder what will appear next. (Rest assured we turned down our children's pleas for an alligator, a lion cub, a coda mundi, and a wallaby!...we are not totally insane.)

As a child, I recall seeing pictures, of beautiful black and white horses with long manes and tails and loads of feather on their feet. They just seemed to float as they ran. The Gypsy Horse!! These magnificent horses had always been an unattainable dream for me (Jodi) until Tim found an ad for importing them from the United Kingdom. He searched and found a bred mare and filly and purchased them! They were imported in December of 2005...What a Christmas gift!! They spent their designated time in quarantine and then joined our family. From that day on we were hooked! If only we had know how wonderful these horses were earlier in life! Since bringing Cricket & Chirp home, our whole direction has changed, our children have grown & no longer want every animal they see, and we enjoy our gypsies so much that we spend all our spare time with them; riding, driving, going to shows, training our babies and breeding these magnificent horses. Other animals have come and gone here at Stoney Creek, but our gypsies are here to stay. Needless to say we LOVE our Gypsy Horses!!
