Short Horse Mini Ranch - Lovettsville, VA

After his recent health scare, Dave decided to fulfill a dream and signed up to run the Marine Corp Marathon this fall as motivation to run regularly. On Sunday, we went to the C&O canal in Brunswick, Md where Dave & Monty ran about 7 miles (the kids biked and the moms walked). It was good for the whole family to get out and get some exercise! Afterward, we stopped Dave's cousin's house - she and her husband just recently acquired 2 miniature ponies, then discovered they were both pregnant! The babies were born about a week apart, and are as cute as can be. Then the kids launched a rocket a few times and wondered what other adventures were to be had at the farm. Life is good in the country!
