Sophie Shalhoub sat atop her horse Gigja under drizzling rain at Woodbe Farm in West Tisbury on Sunday. Ms. Shalhoub, who rode Gigja to the farm from Chilmark, was showing the pony as part of the Martha’s Vineyard Horse Council’s second annual open house.
“This is ideal riding weather for an Icelandic pony,” she said.
Other horse enthusiasts seemed to agree as many people braved the rain to attend the event which featured demonstrations, a tack swap, pony rides and lunch.
