NEW HAMPSHIRE IN WINTER

A Ride on Remember Me (Reme), Ellie - my Granddaughter's new horse

Father Mark and Daughter Ellinore and Reme

From New York City we rode north to New Hampshire with friends Katherine Leiner and Andrew Lipton. We stayed in the charming Chesterfield Inn, across the river from Brattleboro, Vermont. Visits to son Mark and daughter-in-law Rebecca's farm nearby included horse and pony adventures, visits to the 100+ sheep with their guard dogs, checking out the chickens, and good meals and gatherings around the wood stove.

Grandson Nathaniel on Water Run Farm's pond

It was interesting seeing the pond at Water Run Farm iced over after swimming in it the past summer. The icy beauty of the pond in the landscape frames Grandson Nathaniel practicing his hockey skills. The trip included seeing two hockey games in which Nathaniel and Ellinore played very well.
