Riding Reba: A Corgi-Mix's Adventures in CT

  • Harkness: Half dog-friendly, half not, but still a good time!

    Hello fellow adventurers! It’s Reba here again, and this time we went to Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, which became a state park in 1952.

  • Waterfalls and lots of dogs? Sign me up!

    Hello fellow dogs and dog parents!  Reba here again, bringing you our latest adventure.  This past Sunday, all my favorite humans went for a picnic and brought me along, of course!  This time we went to Southford Falls State Park in Southbury.  It’s about 169 acres and was turned into a state park in 1932.…

  • Devil’s Hopyard-Nothing Scary Here!

    One of Reba’s favorite spots to visit in Connecticut is Devil’s Hopyard State Park, located in East Haddam. While the origin of the name is unclear, there’s nothing devilish about the park! While it’s not necessarily the biggest state park, there is plenty to do. Visitors to the park can engage in a variety of…

  • Welcome to Riding Reba: A Corgi-Mix’s Adventures in CT!

    Reba is a Corgi-Mix our family adopted in October of 2019. She had been brought up from Georgia for the adoption event, and we picked her out on the second day (although how she was still there at that point is beyond us). Shortly afterwards it was discovered that she had heart and severe lung…
