Norman Horse Ranch Back In Business After February Tornadoes

A Norman business is back on its feet after being hit hard by tornadoes swept through the area in February.

After a tornado ripped through Feather Creek Farm, the owner of the ranch said her horse show would not have been possible without the community.

Feather Creek Farm hosts a horse show that is the first of its kind for Oklahoma and surrounding states.

Owner Dynah Korhummel said she has spent two years on her dream of bringing the War Horse Event Series to the Midwest, but that dream almost came to a screeching halt.

“She texted me to say the tornado’s going to hit you, and I said okay no problem, and she said no it’s coming right at you," Korhummel said. "There was so much damage, there were so many people that I didn’t even know who came up into the driveway and said 'can I help you?'”

Even riders from neighboring states pitched in to help.

Not only did the community effort restore Korhummel’s business, it opened doors for riders.

“They drove all the way up here two days after that tornado had hit and they came and got pretty much this whole place cleaned up," horseback rider Maci Finley said. “There was a lot of people and community who just kept showing up and helping and it was just really amazing.”

Sunday’s qualifier along with another in the fall will feed into the War Horse Event Series championship in North Carolina this November.
