Horse Council

New Jersey's 2011 pre-Halloween, freakishly early snow served as a reminder to many of us that we need to take advantage of good weather when it presents itself. To that end, I attended the 13th annual Horse Park of New Jersey's Turkey Trot. This event is a major Horse Park fundraiser and they clearly have the process down pat. The trails were well marked and well cleared, the volunteers knew their jobs, were pleasant and helpful, office staff was organized and tried hard to describe to me (who is more accustomed to what a hunt-pace is…) what a "Pleasure Ride" pace might be. I translated their efforts into "mosey-along." It was a great day to be out with your horse! I urge you all to have a go next year.

My husband and I also took advantage of another lovely autumn day with friend and fellow NJHC Board member, Rich Osborn. We had a super ride in his Stagecoach! You can find him at Our American Dream Farm.
You'll find more information on that ride inside the newsletter.

Now that December is here, my critters have their "winter boots" on and we are ready for the next set of adventures - Holiday Parades, trail rides in the snow... . Let us know what YOU are out and about doing with your horses. Send pix, too!

We look forward to hearing from you,

Shelly Liggett
Pres., NJHC
