Foals and Flowers at McCulloch Farm

On Sunday we took the kids on a surprise ride down to Old Lyme.  McCulloch Farm, home of Whipporwill Morgan horses (check out their website here), was having an open barn event called “Foals and Flowers.”  So we packed a picnic lunch, and made our way to Old Lyme to enjoy the beautiful day in the presence of some beautiful horses, along with a 3 week old foal.

We got there a little before noon, so we decided to walk around a bit before breaking out the picnic lunch.  While we were walking around, they started a demonstration of ground driving in the arena adjacent to the main barn (ground driving, or long lining, is a training process, preparing the horse for either pulling a cart, or having a rider use reins).  After that, we had a little picnic, and walked around some more.  A very nice farm, with some beautiful Morgan horses, including their newest addition – Gabriel, a 3 week old colt.  Here’s the shots from our walk around the grounds.
