Ok, wasn't sure whose cousing you were lol! Once a Maritimer, always a Maritimer. I did the same thing but was only away (in Ont) for 7 1/2 yrs. We only have a small farm (4 saddle horses 3 minis and 2 mini dwarfs), some chickens, a goat, 4 dogs and 6 cats, but it's still a lot of work hahaha! I'm starting to think that boarding a horse and moving might be in the plans within the next 4-5 years, we're approaching retirement age to and are always "stuck" at home as none of our kids would have a clue how to look after the place since we've only been here 8 yrs and came from the city (Moncton). Hope you find the perfect place to come back to in NB. The barrel racing and poles were a blast, so much fun. If there was a way, I would post the videos here.
OMG please forgive my typos in the above post LOL!
