Let's all try something
different this summer!
NJ equestrian facilities offer many and diverse opportunities to
stretch and challenge your horse and yourself. Consider making the
summer of 2012 one of growth and development. Think outside your
usual box. If you're a hunter rider, find a barn that offers "cow
clinics" - learn to move cows, pen cows, etc. If you're a western
rider, consider checking out the new concept of "western dressage."
Show riders - try a hunter pace, a trail ride or competitive mounted
orienteering. Trail riders - check out a local schooling show or
a natural horsemanship clinic. How about giving driving a try? A
driving friend recently gave me my first "I-Drove!" experience.
Ever considered trying Side Saddle? Now there's something different,
English or Western.
Another aspect of riding is doing good while enjoying time with
your equine critter. Consider supporting one of your favorite causes
while riding, driving, enjoying your horse. There are rides and
drives in aid of many charitable efforts. If you have not seen one
for your personal favorite charity, consider starting a ride to
support it.
Talk about stretching; organizing a running a ride would definitely
qualify!
We are fortunate to live in a state that offers equestrians many
options. Let's take advantage of some of the opportunities presented.
Check our NJHC web calendar for many fun goings-on.
