“Explore over 200 years of self-sustained living, as we preserve the agricultural way of life in New Hampshire.”
The Remick
|

|
We are happy to introduce you to Hawk, the latest addition to the Remick Farm. He is a Morgan quarter horse, a gift from Remick Museum's Livestock Manager, Wayne Phillips. Hawk arrived on the farm yesterday, May 8th to much excitement. He is 12 years old and had been owned by Wayne for 4 years. Hawk seems to be enjoying the fame, and his temperament is quite amicable- but don't think he is all show- Hawk is a work horse, and he will be pulling farm equipment and giving wagon rides. This morning, he will have his hooves trimmed as he gets ready for celebrity status (and work) on the farm. Wayne says that Hawk enjoys eating carrots and apples, but asks folks to toss them on the ground, and Hawk will pick them up on his own- please no hand feeding! The staff and townspeople alike certainly miss Chloe, the 29 year old Morgan horse, who, because of very poor health, was put to rest in fall 2007. Since then, there has been a real interest in having another horse on the farm, and Wayne's gift has certainly fit the bill. Stop by Hawk's pasture on Great Hill Road to get a look at Tamworth's newest resident!
