Kickin' it with ODPOAC...



This past weekend we visited Penmerryl Farm for the Old Dominion Pony of the Americas Club (ODPOAC) Annual Awards Banquet and Membership Meeting....We met a great group of personalities and are very excited about the year ahead as ODPOAC members....I can tell this is going to be one really fun group of people....after the banquet and meeting, we settled into our accommodations to enjoy the rest of the weekend...Deannie and Ken are the owners of Penmerryl Farm and also the fabulous hosts for their Bed & Breakfast service!


We reserved a room for the weekend and were excited to scope out the grounds so we'd know our way around when the shows are held here this spring....the room was very comfortable and although the pool was closed for the winter, the indoor hot tub was fantastic! We woke up to Deannie's home cooking on Sunday morning and every had their fill....and then some!




We brought Bo with us so we could scope out the facilities and trails...He was given a spacious stall in super tidy barn with plenty of shavings to accommodate his high standard of living....nothing but the best for Ole' Bo!



The trails were cleared wide through the woods...



..and along 1 of 2 gorgeous lakes....JR and Tyler have their fishing spots all picked out!




We took a small detour to check out the cattle in a nearby pasture along the way....




All in all it was a great time getting to know the members of the ODPOAC, getting acquainted with Ken and Deannie, and getting familiar with Penmerryl Farm.....we are looking forward to our mini family vacations here this show season....it's well worth the drive!


Happy Trails,

Leah
