The Southlands Foundation

The Southlands Foundation was invited to attend and celebrate the spirit of community and volunteerism at . Standing are Michele Tugade, Liz Perulli, Director of the Women’s Program at the Meadow Run campus. Seated are Susan Williams, Kathy McGettrick, and Liz Quest. We are to be affiliated with this important program that our founder, Deborah Dows, championed from the beginning. She served on its first Board of Directors, lending credibility to her belief that Daytop belonged in our community and on the estate of her childhood home, Foxhollow.

Unable to attend were our other committed volunteers: Katie Kollar, Saffron Sharifi, John Hamill and Liz Golden.

A late night at Gardnertown proved worth it with Sylvie Tadikonda, India Nye Wenner and Tully Walther winning junior hunter trips, the Hamel medal and the New England medal! A great collaboration of L&L and Southlands! Can’t wait for more victories to come!

While this one is particularly spectacular, we weirdly see rainbows all the time. We’re choosing to see it as a sign that maybe we’re getting a few things right!

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our beloved Kobi who left us last night. He was a tireless performer and adored by those who rode him. Kobi was also invaluable to our equine therapy programs and a special favorite of our participants from Daytop/Samaritan Village. Kobi was 24 years old, lived a full & happy life and remains at Southlands having been laid to rest in Pony Field this morning.
