Along with my last post’s theme, there are other things to check out on 579 involving animals, particularly horses. There are numerous farms dotted along the road that have Stallions grazing, Arabian horses practicing jumps and a Miniature Horse ranch, just like the mini horse made famous on the MTV show, “Rob and Big”.
Horseback riding and breeding are popular activities in Hunterdon County because of the vast amount of open space. Almost every Sunday over the summer while driving on 579, these horse farms would be jam-packed with cars and trailors sporting showcase horses.
If you are travelling 579 one day, check out Maple Hill Farm on 579 in Ringoes. Maple Hill Farm breeds, boards, rehabilitates horses and more.
