A Note from the MVHC President​
Happy Spring! Even though we’re having some April showers, the days keep getting longer and flowers are beginning to bloom. Finally!
​
It’s that time of year when many of us start getting our horses back into shape after the long winter. The Horse Council has several clinics and shows scheduled, and we hope you’ll join in.
I often hear people say things like, “My horse isn’t ready yet,” or “I need more time to practice.” But what better place to practice than one of our low-key events here on the Island?
​​
Jill Lane, MVHC President
​
Whether it’s a clinic or a small competition, the judges, clinicians and other riders tend to be friendly and encouraging here. So practice what you can at home and then come on out and have some fun. It’s a great opportunity to learn and connect with other
members of the horse community.
​
Check our website for updates: www.mvhorsecouncil.com or reach out to one
of us if you have questions.
I hope to see you at our next meeting!
