Summer Vacation 2018

Published by at 6:40 pm under Birds,Horses,Jen,Sarah

Our summer vacation was not entirely under blue skies.

On the bright side, we had our annual visit by John Harris and his boys, with whom I went hiking in the Catskills.  As you can see, they were awed by Kaaterskill Falls, the highest waterfall in New York — yes, even taller than Niagara Falls.

But Jen was stricken by appendicitis, necessitating a sprint to New York for a midnight appendectomy.

Back at the farm, we kept a close watch on Jen as she recuperated.

We also watched our fawns growing up.

Today, we watched Sarah ride in the low hunters competition at Meadow Creek Farm in Pleasant Valley.  She won some ribbons even though her balky pony, Owen, refused a jump three times.  We were glad that Sarah stayed on top of Owen!
