The Horses are Coming Home


The horses will be returning this week from their winter sojourn, probably fat & happy and ready to get back to work. We expect to be offering pony rides on the first Saturday of April, and may be ready for the trails by April 11, weather permitting. Strawberry Park is pleased to announce that Cory will be taking over as our equestrian coordinator, as she has been part of our staff in summers past. Despite the fact that the horses have been away all winter, Brock still waves and barks when we drive by the corral area. I am sure he will be more excited than most about their return, and will look forward to pony rides this year. While we will begin the year at the temporary show ring located across from the main entrance, we still hope to make some progress with the new barn and show ring planned for down past the volleyball courts. Elaine will be happy to see her favorite horse (Smokey), while I hope to find one who walks as briskly as Diamond used to on pony rides.
