Yesterday I went out with some friends on a wonderful trail ride around the North Springfield dam area. The sky was abrilliant blue with a few wispy clouds. The greens were like emeralds. Wild phlox decorated our path. The horses were perfect; even boldly crossing the river without hesitation! This is exactly why I’m here in Vermont. For a few months each year we get bliss, and we horse people take it upon ourselves to make the most of every moment of it!
This was the view as we rode at the base of the dam, looking back up the Black River with Mt. Ascutney in the distance. Just breathtaking.
