Winnie Admires the View on Dunn Farm Road

This morning we had a break from rain and I rode Winnie bareback down Dunn Hill Farm Road. She seemed to enjoy the sights. When we got to Boice Mill Road, I had to dismount to lead her past the raging river and falls there. A nice gent out walking with a friend gave me a boost back onto her back--gone are the days when I could vault up without a stirrup (sigh!). We continued down Boice Mill Road until it met a busier street, then turned back the way we came. This time Winnie walked right by the noisy river and earned a stud muffin for bravery.

Tomorrow we plan to set out again on our walk, and will head back toward Ellenville on Berme Road. Tuesday we expect to make it to Pine Bush, NY, where we have a host, and then on to Sussex, NJ, if all goes well. Winnie gets to walk naked and I may ride her bareback on the quiet roads, to save my feet. Mister Albino will drive the chase car with our gear, because of Winnie's saddle sore.

After Sussex, NJ, we will be looking for hosts along Route 209 through Pennsylvania. If you have a barn, field, or paddock for Winnie, she needs a place to rest at night and has her health certificate in order. She has no vices, but for the record, she has a million dollar liability policy, too, courtesy of Mister Albino.


Thanks to all of you that are helping us make our way forward. I can't say enough about the generosity of Myron at Loosestrife Farm, who took care of Winnie and special thanks, too, to Joyce Anderson, who put me up for days at her home. That darling little pony, is her mini, Dakota! Isn't she precious?!
