adopted horses
|
Second Stride is unique in entering horses for adoption in community events, shows and clinics, adding value to our program. It's wonderful for adopters to see how the horses will behave off the farm, not only with professional riders but also with amateurs of all ages, and get instruction on how to move forward training each individual. Also our volunteers gain valuable experience from these events that will carry forward into the next horses they work with. The slide shows on this page feature scenes from the Long Run Hounds annual Hunter Pace & BBQ at Brownsboro Farm, 2010 AND 2011, featuring Second Stride horses, volunteers and adopters. photos by Ed Van Meter We post SHOW RESULTS for Second Stride Graduates, please check the "show results" page for updates ! |

He had a sore foot for a week or two so we just got back to riding this past weekend and he did great! We've been trotting poles and trotting over some small cross rails and verticals. I also took him cantering through some fields Friday which he loved! He likes to chase the geese by our pond which is adorable. I love him so much:)" - Courtney
