We've seen a lot of wildlife since moving to New Hampshire three years ago.   This has included wild turkeys, black bears, porcupines, snakes, woodchucks, foxes, coyotes even!, and of course, a helluva lot of deer.

In our outdoor dressage arena, we have spotted half of these critters wandering through at one time or another.   Thankfully, and maybe obviously, they have not appeared while horse & riders have been practicing their dressage work.  

We have heard about moose in the area.   I spotted one trotting down the middle of the road one night.   A neighbor saw one on his property a month or so ago.   And we saw moose droppings up in the mountains this past winter.   But beyond that, nothing...   And we had zero expectations...

So, imagine Georg's surprise when he looked up from his WFH desk last evening to see....

....a MOOSE wandering across the dressage arena!

Now, granted some of you may living in places where seeing a moose is a daily occurance.   But for us, well, this was just simply a wicked way cool rare experience!
