Today, the weather is in the 60’s, and despite how humid it feels, our horses are frolicking around and playing. Flash and Cadence have been playing almost the entire morning, nipping each others whiskers and running in the paddock. Currently, we have a herd of horses that totals 69 (this includes Nancy’s horses – Oakie and Soprano, who are not technically camp horses, but nonetheless go into the herd during the daytime to play). Some of our horses have seen over 30 years at Road’s End Farm, and every horse that comes here comes to stay. The horse camp at Road’s End Farm revolves around this wonderful herd of caring, four-legged, and playful grass eaters.

A warm welcome to Spirit, the new pony who just arrived to join in the shenanigans this summer. He’s a thirteen-year old Quarterhorse (but no terrible teens here!) and he’s settling in happily to a life of carrots, apples, and biped servants at his beck and call. Since he’s just unpacked, we haven’t yet showed him the trails or introduced him to the herd, but Tom has explained to him the importance of knowing names, using your head to save your back, how many hands make light work, and the value of pulling your pound.
He is already the favorite of many campers and has since made many friends within the herd of horses. Spirit is a well loved, big boy who loves riding in both the ring and on trail – although riding on trail is his favorite!
