A Note from the MVHC President​
What a winter we’ve been having! I hope you and your horses all made it through the Blizzard of 2026 safe and sound. Winter in New England with horses is always a challenge, but this year seems to be something “extra special.”
​
Speaking of winter challenges, if any of our members find themselves in financial straits and are unable feed their horses, the Horse Council can offer some aid. Just contact me by text, phone or email, and we’ll see what we can do.
​
Looking on the brighter side, the days are getting longer, I’ve been seeing robins this week and I read online that someone has spotted snowdrops
popping up!​​​​
Jill Lane, MVHC President
As we look forward to Spring, we are excited to report that we have a full schedule of events planned. Keep an eye out for our newsletters, and check the website for updates: www.mvhorsecouncil.com
​​
I hope to see you at our next meeting!
