Sweetwater Stables is an idyllic property in a beautiful country setting. The apartment is well-appointed, well-stocked, comfortable, has high-speed Internet, and is PEACEFUL - perfect for my month-long getaway while working on case preparation. The stable is beautiful as are the grounds. Most importantly, Dave and Wendy are exceedingly gracious and interesting hosts who have had some great experiences, like living on a sailboat and exploring the Carribean. They shared their time answering my many questions regarding their upscale homestead and its sustainability. They graciously permitted me to take part in various activities including participating in goat and sheep inoculation, engaging with the farrier as he trimmed, balanced and shoed the horse’s hooves, buying chickens at the farmer’s market, taking in sheep bred in Ohio and feeding time which is the highlight of every farm animals’ day. I made friends with their strikingly handsome horses and mules (apples and carrots had a lot to do with that). Wendy made my friend’s week with refresher riding instruction on Ivey and Sable. All-in-all, it was a truly memorable stay.
