Coaching

Weekend event in Newport and the rest of the island. Each day coaches and four plus period dressed passengers drive a different path through the island. Today (Friday) the course came along Wapping Road. We thought that would be the closest and least crowded viewing spot. We called Greg of Rocky Brook Orchard to ask if we could park on his lot. He kindly gave permission (note: the orchard will open in about 2 weeks).

Viewing group consisted of George, Michelle, Peggy, Stuart, Jeff and Sharon. After, adjourned to Anthony’s for lunch.

Note formal braiding and binding of horses’ manes.
Some were styled au naturel.
