While your daughters are settling in at Pony Farm, we thought we'd share a bit about the awesome staff who they are just beginning to meet. Welcome to Meet the Staff Monday!

| Becky Sanborn Hawkes – Pony Farm Camp Director
Becky is the Director of Pony Farm Summer Camp. Becky got married this past Fall to her Mikey. She enjoys coming to camp with her fur child, Gunner! In Becky’s down time she enjoys teaching second grade in Wilton. This will make Becky’s 17th year on the farm! In her spare time she enjoys reading, swimming, cooking, and hiking!
I have a conviction that a few weeks spent in a well organized summer camp may be of more value educationally than a whole year of formal school work.

Hey Everyone! My name
is Meg Rothnie and I'll be assisting Becky organizing and running camp this
summer! I started coming to Pony Farm when I was 7 years old and have
been very close to the farm ever since (I'm 33 now)! I live in Charleston,
South Carolina, but I'll be spending the whole summer at Pony Farm and living
in the Homestead! I am in the process of becoming a PATH certified therapeutic
riding instructor and I ride and show my horse "Sweet T" down south.
My favorite pony at Pony Farm is Maggie, who I used to own when she (and I)
were quite a bit younger! But all the horses and ponies are fantastic. I can't
wait to meet you all and have a super duper summer!!

Senior Staff

Hi! My name is Eryn, I'm from Amherst, New Hampshire where I live
with my older sister, Taylor, my mother, stepfather, my dog, Cooper, and my
cat, Winston. I have been riding for thirteen years now. I also enjoy playing
volleyball, going on hikes with Cooper, and teaching myself to play the piano.
I am a sophomore at the University of New England for occupational therapy.
This year I will be a second year senior staff member at Pony Farm! My favorite
horse is Charlie and my favorite activity with the horses is to go swimming with
them! I can't wait to see everyone again this summer!

My name is Becky
Ohman! This will be my eighth year at camp, and I’m a member of the Senior
Staff. I’m obsessed with every horse on the farm, but our wild mustang Merle
holds a special place in my heart. I’m from the suburbs of Boston, but I’m at
college in DC right now. When I’m not riding, I love reading, exploring,
spending time with my friends, and hanging out at the barn. I can’t wait for an
unforgettable summer at my favorite place in the world!

| Hi my name is Nora, I am from Boston, and I am so excited for camp this summer! This will be my 10th summer at Pony Farm, for the past three years I have been a CIT, and this year will be my first as Senior Staff! I have so many favorite horses and ponies at Pony Farm, but Blue will always hold a special place in my heart because I rode him when I was a camper. Some things that I do outside of horseback riding are playing lacrosse, working at the New England Aquarium, and playing guitar with my friends. |

| My name is Katya, and Pony Farm is the highlight of my year every summer. This summer will be my ninth year coming to pony farm, and my first year as a CIT! I cannot wait, I'm really looking forward to meeting all of the amazing new campers, seeing my summer friends, and getting to know the new horses as well as seeing my favorites! Peaches was the first pony I rode at camp, and she holds a very dear spot in my heart. Chunk is my favorite because he is so sweet and has quite a personality! The horses at the farm are the sweetest ones I have met, and they make camp really special. I will be a junior in high school next year, and I live in Cambridge Massachusetts. Outside of camp, I volunteer at a therapeutic riding program every week, and dance almost every day. (I'm the one on the right!) |

| Hi, my name is Abby Fisher! This will be my 6th year at Pony Farm and I'll be returning as a 3rd year CIT! My favorite pony at the farm is Marengo. I'm from New York City and I love Pony Farm because it's a chance to escape the busy city life and spend time doing what I love most – being around horses! I'm an only child, but Pony Farm has provided me with a network of girls I now truly consider my sisters. Hope to see you this summer! |
