What a grand time: riding horses in the summer sun, with the green hills in the background. With 2000' of shoreline, there is a spot to do everything: swim, fish, ride, canoe and play.
We were on our way to Huntsville on Saturday, and decided to pop in our our friend after our errand was done.Nancy and Brian run a resort in the Muskoka, steps away from Haliburton Highlands, and Algonquin Park, as well as the infamous Deerhurst, where the G8 will take place.
A great place to grow plants, including veggies and ornamentals, as long as you create 6' fencing for the critters that similarly inhabit the place! The bears love the tree and falls for their apples.
Having just visited the G8 fencing, I was amused.
Nancy has a green thumb, and her gardens are immense.
She knows her chickens, horses and all the critters you'd expect in the region, as well as the larger Central Ontario area, I remember a photo of a fawn that momma had left in Nancy's able care.Just a hop, skip and a jump from Deerhurst, the G8 summit HQ, she's battening down the hatches for the duration of the G8.
I love her barn, cool in the heat we've been having. Her beautiful garden well-protected by the 6' G8-type fencing.
Squeegee, the little guy, is a sweetie.
I videotaped her lesson
[Nancy teaches some riders]
I just love her style: funny and fun, with obvious enjoyment of guests, critters, riders and horses!
Visit her blog post, where she shows off her sense of humour, and her seahorses like to do when a lake is near-by! Her blogs are always witty and droll.Visit more My World Tuesday posts!

this looks like a fun place. the horses are beautiful.
That looks like a fun place to visit.
I should see if dh is off this weekend and we could have a trip up to see the G8 fence, seeing as it is a tourist attraction!!
We didn't get much rain last night I don't think, everything was damp but not soaking this morning.
Take care,
Gill
A lovely part of the world and a wonderful way to spend a day.
Nice to have friends with a place so pleasant to drop in on. It is so good to grow your own veggies and fruit and have enough to share.
Thanks for the Shout Out again Jenn! Tiny correction: we are in MUSKOKA, not Algonquin Highlands -- although the dividing line runs down the main street of Dorset, just down the road a bit from us.
I just recently discovered your blog and am so glad I did. What a sweet post!
@ all, thanks for visiting!
@Nancy You're welcome. I was close but no cigar! Duly corrected! You are in Muskoka, too!
Another Great post Jen....always such a fun adventure visiting your blog!!!!!
