The annual parade of breeds - bigger and better!!!!!
PLEASE be sure to come out and invite all of your friends and neighbors!!!!!!

We have what is shaping up to be a REALLY good silent auction - hopefully that will be a big fund raiser this year!

Center City Carriages will be giving horse drawn carriage rides around Chetola Farms.
Richard Stone and Thor will be giving rides in the fore kart.
We have a volunteer with a 14 passenger van that has offered to be a shuttle from parking - since last year people were parking up to a mile away!
James River Equipment will be there with tractors and ATVs.

Spiro's Hilltop will be there providing a really good lunch!

Professional Photographer, Ray Olszewski will be there taking photos of the horses - if you want your photo with a horse be sure to let him know!

Purina will be giving a Horse Owner Workshop talk at 1:00 p.m. and a special talk on taking care of older horses at 2:00 p.m.
Dr. Robbie Whaley will be there with his horse scales
Equimapping will be giving a demo at 1:30 p.m. and they will be available to do a scan for $25 or a complete work up with your tack for $75

LOTs of FREEBIES have been donated by many of the breed associations!!!!

The Parade of Breeds starts at 3:00 sharp!

Come early to wander through the barns, meet the horses and their owners, learn more about some of the breeds.
If you are new to horses, this is a good opportunity to ask questions about what you need to do when you own a horse!
There will be some really rare breeds there - the Akhal Tekes (Russian Horses), Norwegian Fjords, Fresians, Minis, and Andalusians to name a few!

The best part is there will be lots of USERL rescue horses there - some adopted and many AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

See you there!
