It was my first introduction to horses and I've been in love ever since. A stable boy put me up bareback on an Appy once and walked me around the dry lot. I did get to ride out of the Pegasus stables a few times but then we moved into the District and I got involved in playing ball. At the young age of 71 I am now finally riding again.

They may not all be posh and have all the amenities, but it is a nice environment. http://rossanavanoni.comRossana Vanonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840304993290437001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902023015902241936.post-40317508351165563342013-09-05T15:25:07.126-04:002013-09-05T15:25:07.126-04:00“If only these stalls could talk!” - I'm sure ...“If only these stalls could talk!” - I'm sure they have the greatest story to tell us. Reading your post is like having a tour from the past, and I realized that this stable is definitely one treasure that's worth keeping. No wonder the management, or owner, keep on renovating it from time to time. It is to make sure they preserve the beauty of the stable and keep the horses in a safe environment as well.

They don't teach lessons, don't ride the show circuit and is not nearly as nice as Meadowbrook. sega61https://www.blogger.com/profile/00905858668498941635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1902023015902241936.post-30069770188729653892013-05-22T15:40:12.843-04:002013-05-22T15:40:12.843-04:00Rock Creek Park Horse Center is in DC proper.

There were many farriers/blacksmiths in the family. If only I had known about this. Maybe next trip.<br />It was a lovely post on all counts.
