Walk Or Ride Or Walk After Work Time

Cooling horses off after a good work out is just what needs to be done. These walkers attended the spring plow event at UConn at Storrs.

To ride or to walk and think takes space and land.

Open space can sometimes be hard to find.

A Wine Festival benefit for the Joshua's Trust, one of the oldest local conservation and historic trusts in Connecticut
