The Sunday before Thanksgiving was cold and windy but it didn’t keep
15 riders from coming for an obstacle playday. It was a great opportunity to practice on many challenging obstacles. We’re looking forward to holding some fun obstacle events in the Spring.

The costumes were so imaginative at our annual Costume Ride that everyone deserves a best costume award! A fun ride on the farm, through the fields of Tarrywile and the streets of Danbury on a magnificent Fall Day was enjoyed by many - riders, spectators and even the horses seemed to be in the spirit!
Back at the Farm we switched modes to continue on to our annual Witches
Dance. Our coven of witches performed a creative version of the traditional dance around the fire. It was a magical evening of witchery with food, fun and spells.

When did you first realize your love for horses?

What a spectacular sight to see 21 beautiful horses and their riders in a field of golden flowers just before sunset. Last night’s Summer to Fall Solstice evening ride was perfect. We rode on grass paths in the beautiful meadows of Tarrywile Park. The horses seemed to enjoy an evening out with their friends!
After the horses were tucked in for the night the apres ride gathering began. What a fun night with so many great horse friends. Good food and drink , warm fires and lively conversation. It was a night to store in our albums of special memories.

“You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, Know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run”
Poker was the game for our annual Labor Day ride and picnic. Riders followed a map to find cards at 5 locations along the trail. It was a perfect day for a trail ride which was followed by a lively picnic back at the farm with the best group of people ever!
The lucky winner of $100 with the best poker hand was Janet Harner with her trusty steed, Geronimo. It was a winning day for everyone😊🐴

Finally, a perfect evening for our annual Summer Sunset Ride. Evening is such a beautiful time to ride out in the fields at Tarrywile Park. The sky was glowing and the grass impossibly green. Wildflowers lined the paths. Our horses take us into this world of nature’s beauty and give us the ability to see it as we look out between their ears.

National Cowboy Day is our favorite holiday at Happy Trails Farm! Ed Prybylski gave a morning riding clinic with 18 horse and rider pairs focusing on straightness, balance and being precise. It was great to see so many working on their skills together. A picnic followed with amazing potluck food along with a barbecue. No one left hungry! Live music by Billy Michael & Co added to the festive atmosphere.
Horses, friends, food, music, beautiful weather and farm life make for a most special time. Even the chickens partied!

Yeeehaaa!!! What a fun first night of working cows at Happy Trails Farm! It was the first time introduction to cows for many of the riders and horses. Once the horses learn that the cows run away from them, they love it. It’s great for riders as their focus is entirely on the cow and riding becomes very natural. The cows were full of surprises and made for an eventful evening of riding. For the next month our boarders have the opportunity to ride with cows two evenings a week.

There was plenty of fun and action at our annual Memorial Day Weekend picnic and games for Happy Trails Farm boarders. Riders and their mounts did games from toss the bean bag into the bucket, a flag race, relay race, broom soccer, barrel race and many more. What good sports we have as the group cheered each other on. The games were followed by a picnic and an afternoon of socializing as only horse people can do!
We are so fortunate to live in this great country and have the ability to have these special days. Always remember we are the land of the free because of the brave. Thanks to those who died defending our country and to those who dedicate their lives to serve.
