Events and Raffle!

Some fun event's coming up:

Join us at the beautiful and historic Shelburne Farms Harvest Festival in Shelburne, Vermont on Saturday, September 25th! This will be the second year that we've brought horses to this one day family event. Last year was a great success with having our horses on display. The awesome back drop of the "castle" and surroundings is magnificent. Over 6,000 people attended last year and I think every one of them stopped to visit the horses. Nan will be bringing Frio and I'll bring Maya and Augustine most likely. The event will provide us with our own tent and demo area. We are the only horses invited to participate, except for the draft horses giving carriage rides.

Then, October 16th is the first benefit Trail Ride at The Center. Chili lunch and bonfire to follow the ride. Fee is $25 per person. I hope to have 20 riders come and enjoy the great trails and dirt roads around our area. Should be a nice way to end the riding season as snow could be coming right around the corner.

Also, a stunning piece of photographic art has been donated as a fundraiser. We are raffling off an image taken by photographer Lauren Stagnitti. It will be professionally matted and framed by Coco's Frame Shop in Stowe. The retail value of the photo is $350. It's a picture of two of our Colonial Spanish Horses in enhanced black and white. Follow the facebook link to see a picture of the picture. The size of the photo is appx. 20"x 14".
