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!

| Hi everyone, my name is Alex Lahm and this will be my third year at Pony Farm. I started out as a third-year CIT and this will be my second year as senior staff. Gretski is my favorite horse on the farm, with Gruffy coming in as a close second. Horses have always been my favorite animal and I’ve been riding since I was five years old. In addition to riding, I played soccer, tennis, and was a swimmer throughout middle and high school. I am a student at Tulane University in Louisiana but I was born in Hong Kong and was raised overseas. I’ll be a sophomore in the fall and I hope to one day become a veterinarian. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone this summer! |

My favorite horse on the farm is Merle, the mustang. This will be my first year as a member of the senior staff and I look forward to having a blast this summer with y'all. |

I'm from Needham, MA and am currently studying to be a veterinary technician at Mount Ida College. When I'm not in class, you can find me giving riding lessons year round at Willow Brook Farm in Holliston, MA, working at a local vet’s office, babysitting, or snuggling with my two dogs Pennie and Puck. Pony Farm is my home away from home and I can't wait to share it with you! |

Hi my
name is Rachel Wasilewski! I live in Newton, MA. I've
been coming to Pony Farm for eight years and this will be my second year as a
CIT. My favorite ponies on the farm are Duncan (even though he's not a pony
he's a donkey) and Twilight. Some of my favorite activities to do during camp
are personal scavenger hunt, swimming with the horses, and battle of the boy
bands. When I'm not on the farm, you can find spending time with my horse
Jameson, playing volleyball, or with my family/friends. Pony Farm is always the
highlight of my year, and I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me!
