Making a Difference - Saving a Little Horse's Life

Travel Stage: Kentucky
Date Range: May 19 – 25, 2016
​I took the dogs for an early morning walk. We were camped on some property surrounded by pastures with adolescent cows that were not yet ready to join the herd in milk duty. Our spotted neighbors were hanging out by the fence that morning, chewing their cud, and watching the dogs romp around with great fascination.

​It had rained the previous two days and the grass was wet and slippery. The ground had started to dry out overnight. I stopped at the fence to examine the cows. Their big curious ears locked on me as well as their non-blinking stares. Their nostrils tried to catch my scent. A brave one or two would take a ginger step forward and then the whole group would follow. One quick move and they’d pull back so suddenly they’d bump into each other. 
​I turned to the right to look at something moving that caught my eye – another white and brown spotted cow at first glance, but no! It was a miniature horse coming up the hill! Why was it taking such small steps? Was he old? Was he injured?
​Then my jaw dropped.
​He stepped out of the tall grass and I saw the longest hooves I’d ever seen in person.

Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese

Travel Stage: Kentucky
Date Range: May 19 – 25, 2016
Summary: We try our first boondocking location using our “Harvest Host” membership. We wind up on a Cheese Farm in South Central Kentucky where we learn a lot about cheese, dairy cows, and farm operations – plus save a pony’s life and do some landscaping.
​
Harvest Hosts is a RV membership program that connects RVers with farms, vineyards, and other agricultural locations. It is a membership we’ve been thinking about getting for a while now, and we finally pulled the trigger when we ventured to southern central Kentucky, on our way north from Nashville.
