A Note from the MVHC President​

 

June is starting off with some lovely riding weather, and I hope you and your horse are able to get out there an enjoy it.

 

We had great participation for the Sheila McLevedge clinic and the Spring Fling horse show.

 

 

And don’t forget that the summer trail ride is scheduled for June 28th starting at State Forest Headquarters.

 

Many thanks to Jen Rand, Julie Flanders, Samantha Look and Stephanie Dreyer for all the work it takes to organize these events!

Jill Lane, MVHC President

​Sometimes our horses need time off from their usual routines due to injury, bad weather, throwing a shoe or some other unexpected event. And sometimes the rider is the one who needs to change up the routine. I’ve been giving this some extra thought these days as I rehab from hip surgery. I found an article online that had some fun ideas. Check it out!
