Monday, January 4, 2010 – Drive day to Cherry Hill Farms, and a movie!

Packed up this morning, spent the day driving to the Cherry Hill Farm B&B in Buffalo Junction, VA, to visit with our new friends Dee and Paul, whom we met on our last journey through the area last fall. They have a lovely old farm with some paddocks and barns out back, so they are a very horse-friendly place. They also have quite a story to tell about their life with horses, should you every get around this way, and they love to hear everyone elses’ horse stories, too!
Arrived around 3:00, the horses were thrilled to have a paddock of their own and a stall full of delightful shavings, which they promptly put to use by having a good roll. For any non-horse person who hasn’t seen it, there’s nothing quite as hysterical as watching a horse try to roll!
We chatted the rest of the afternoon, had a lovely stew for dinner, and watched a promising Western starring Peirce Brosnan and Liam Neeson. Sounds good, right? Ummm… not so much. Great scenery and production value, a bit thin on plot, but it had plenty of horses in it (though more than the usual number were shot out from under their riders, so caveat emptor!)
