Why Carrie Underwood Chose to Live on a Farm and Breed Horses

In a world full of fame and luxury, country superstar Carrie Underwood has chosen a different path. Despite her enormous success, she has found solace in a simpler, more down-to-earth lifestyle on a serene farm. With her family, Carrie breeds horses, cultivates their food, and embraces the joys of nature and farming. Her story has inspired others to appreciate life’s pleasures and cherish family and animals.

One move changed her life.

Born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma, Carrie’s upbringing was characterized by a “free-range” lifestyle filled with outdoor adventures and a love for animals. Her passion for singing emerged early on, and although she participated in various competitions, success eluded her until she took a leap of faith and auditioned for American Idol. This bold move changed her life forever, catapulting her to stardom, garnering her a massive fan base, and leading to her debut album in 2005.

She fell in love with a hockey player.

In 2008, fate brought Carrie together with Mike Fisher, a professional ice hockey player. Their love story unfolded rapidly, with Mike proposing just 6 months after they met. The couple tied the knot in a heartwarming wedding ceremony. As their love blossomed, so did their desire to start a family of their own.

Life gave her a hard time.

Carrie and Mike became parents in 2015. Carrie gave birth to their first son, Isaiah. However, following this joyous occasion, the couple faced a series of challenging events. Carrie suffered a severe facial injury from a fall at home in 2017, causing her husband to rush back from his business trip to be by her side. Subsequently, they experienced the heartbreak of 3 miscarriages.

When Carrie learned she was pregnant again, anxiety filled her heart. To comfort herself, she spent an entire night cuddling her son, seeking solace in his presence. The next day, she visited the doctor, only to find out that everything was fine.

They started building their home from scratch.

After the birth of Jacob, the couple decided to leave their luxurious mansion behind and create a new home on a farm they had purchased. Their new home was thoughtfully designed to cater to the comfort and happiness of their family, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a porch swing, and rocking chairs. The vast property allowed them to fulfill another dream of Carrie’s: owning horses and keeping various other pets.

Carrie found peace in farming.

Carrie’s time on the farm has allowed her to embrace another passion, gardening. Cultivating her food has become a form of therapy for her, offering her a chance to immerse herself in nature’s embrace and find peace of mind. As she shares her progress with fans, they humorously suggest she could pursue a career in farming, though they admit they’d miss her music too much. She said on her Instagram, “My garden is one of my happy places,” and I can’t believe this is happening to me. The weirdest thing is that it was just a dream, and now it’s real. It’s hard to believe sometimes.

She always offers her help when possible.

Her humility and grounded personality have not gone unnoticed, earning her the admiration of millions of fans and fellow artists. She actively supports causes close to her heart, like animal rights and the Red Cross, using her influence to make a positive impact.

Their dream became a reality.

Mike and Carrie’s dreams of owning horses have come true. Bojangles, their first horse, has joined their family. With a shared love for horseback riding, they are making it a unique pastime. The family now fully embraces country living and has truly bid farewell to their suburban mansion.

Growing up on a farm and having one has its own benefits. It can be a fun and life-altering journey, and many celebrities are starting to adopt the farming lifestyle.
