Goshen Hunt at Rolling Acres!!

A few days ago, the Goshen Hunt/Hounds had a meet here at our farm! It was so neat to see them enjoying our beautiful property and we loved hosting them. Also, one of our own boarders, Robin Feldman, even got dressed up and went hunting! Looking sharp Robin!

Here is a photo of Robin:

And check out this great photo that Sheryl Sutherby took of the hunt heading out:

Also, sharing a poster for an upcoming event, that features one of our boarder’s (Robin Feldman) daughter – Allie Feldman (Class of 2015).  She is at Washington University and is in their  cappella group and this is their latest concert.  Pretty cool!
