About Me

My name is Cheyenne Little and I'm a 16 year old girl! Here's a little bit about me...

I am the owner of Hilltop Farm Animal Health Care Services and provide a lot of services locally!

I am currently certified in Code of Ethics and Conduct and am working towards my Vet Tech Degree as well. A lot of my time is spent just helping people out within the community as they need it. I've been interested in VetMed my whole life but had not started getting my hands into it until about 4 years ago. Boy have I come a long way!

(The following paragraph are services provided on my own legally owned animals)

Now I have learned how to do feeding tubes, stomach pumping, rectal palpation, OB palpation, AI, dystocia, delivery, vital checks, IV fluids, injections, vaccinating, tagging, deworming, sorting, dehorning, castration, hoof trimming, equine rasping, dental checks, around the clock care, lay ups, you name it. I also spend a lot of time looking at neighborhood cases with my vet. More often than not neighbors will call me out and see what I can do and I end up calling the vet out if it's something out of my skill or legal abilities. Some of these services I provide mobile locally to do routine livestock health care such as dehorning, consultation, vital checks, or goat hoof trimming.

I also run a special program called SIP (Sick Injured Preemie) where I accept/purchase sick, injured, preemie animals from various situations. People who cannot afford vet treatment can surrender them to me, mass production farms, feedlots, auctions, private owners who cannot keep up with demands of around the clock care and more!

People ask why. It's short and simple. I love it. I love every day every hour of it. Saving animals, keeping them healthy, learning new things, and meeting new people. There's something about watching a pig come down from a 106.8 fever overnight and knowing you saved it's life, or pulling a calf out after 8 hours of correcting its malpresentation. It makes it all worth it.

Some More About My Life-

Animals are my life. My family lives on a farm and we grow and raise all of our own food including vegetables, pork, beef, chicken, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, you name it. I'm always around animals!

Horses are my "area" of expertise and my true passion. I began riding lessons at the age of 3 and now offer training and lessons locally. I love it. But because I am not a billionaire I quickly realized horses are not cheap! So I began investing my money in cattle. Now I buy sick and injured calfs and animals to nurse back to health and sell later. I absolutely love it and taking care of the sick ones.

I'm hoping to attend UC Davis and become a large animal vet specializing in equine reproduction within the Thoroughbred racing industry. This year I will be starting my veterinary technician education in conjunction with my high school education. I hope to be soon offering mobile vet tech services locally as well as cattle reproduction services AIing dairy cows and heifers. I keep very busy around here! I've been home schooled since 5th grade when I was pulled for bullying and low grades. Within 1 year of home schooling I was caught up and scoring in the advanced categories on the STAR tests in math and english. I owe it all to my mom for pulling me out of school to home school me. Now I do an independent study program and attend school Tuesdays and Thursdays each week.

I also really enjoy writing stories and songs. I am currently working on my book, "A Horse With a Purpose" and it should be coming out soon so keep an eye out! It's a true story and quite a crazy one. You can visit my "AHWAP Book" page for a sneak peek! I also really enjoy poetry and would love a career in the music industry as a lyricist. In 2010 I was invited to be a guest journalist for the AHA World Magazine and cover Youth Nationals in New Mexico. Sadly I had to turn down the amazing offer but it was a huge step in my journalism/author career. I also had the opportunity to work with a couple of amazing and incredibly kind music artists in Nashville in 2011. They helped me so much with finding myself in the music world and how I could improve.

If you look past my work I'm just an average kid.
I play adult leauge ice hockey currently and am starting high school leauge at the end of August. It's a huge passion of mine. An excellent way to get away, get exercise, and just have fun!! I spend a lot of time skating each week too, something that during the summer I've learned to appreciate even more.

I also enjoy 4-H, livestock showing, horse riding, horse training/showing, reading, writing, writing songs, writing lyrics, working on my book, and just being with my friends!

I am a devoted Christian and love spending time with my friends at a teen youth group each week as well.

I also really enjoy school, anatomy and history are my favorite subjects!

A lot of people probably made it to this website through my petitions as well. But for those of you who didn't I spend a lot of time fighting against equine slaughter in the USA and created the EBC System (Equine Breeding Certification). I am working on setting it up here in the USA but I have also been asked to set it up in England, Australia, Mexico, and Canada. For now I'm sticking to the USA but I hope to expand soon!!!

Well those are some of the main things about me! Hope you enjoy my website.
