We are pleased to announce our 3rd Annual Beginner Driving Clinic in the Equestrian Rings at Thomas Bull Memorial Park. Join us and meet a variety of horses with the different carriages they use from a simple 2 wheel buggy to a 4 wheel wagonette. Whether you’re new to the sport or want to brush up on your skills. It’s time to get to work learning to harness, ground drive and hook the horse to a cart focusing on safely working around these large animals. After you have mastered your skills it's time to take the reins and drive a horse. Before that we will have lunch and a safety review. Followed by a demonstration of dressage and a mini cones course.
Non member $60.00 per person includes 1 year membership and lunch. Members $40.00 per person.
Send Check payable to MHDA to Joan DeLaTorre 148 Mt Zion Rd Marlboro NY 12542 or call Cosmo 845-421-1463
Spaces are limited. Don't miss out! Secure your spot

We are thrilled to announce Susan Mallery will be the judge. Having previous experience with draft ponies in the show ring and the farm field, Susan began combined driving in 1997. She showed Haflingers, pleasure and combined driving single, pair and tandem through advanced level, competing from Canada to Florida and all across the East Coast. Susan participated in three World Single Championships as groom/navigator for three different drivers and has earned ADS Combined Driving silver medal.

We continue to be fortunate to have Margaret Beeman as our course designer. She coached singles combined driving competitor Scott Monroe to 2 National Championships which qualified them for the U.S. Equestrian Team where they competed in the World Combined Driving Championships in '04 and '06. Margaret coached the U.S. Equestrian Team in 2002 in the marathon phase.

The day will be as fun as it is competitive, beginning with dressage, then moving directly to the marathon course. Following a break for lunch, drivers will enter the cones course for the final phase of competition.

Please pack a lunch. There will be coffee and cake for breakfast.

Registration opens 09/03 closes 09/19

🤔 What do the following horses all have in common?

Standardbred - not vaccinated - Madison Co.
2y Belgian - not vaccinated - St. Lawrence Co.
18m Thoroughbred - not vaccinated - Orange Co.
1y QH- only vaccinated in 2023 - Oneida Co.
2y Quarter Horse - not vaccinated - Ulster Co.
3y Percheron - vaccinated in 2023 - Cayuga Co.
18y Draft x - not vaccinated - St. Lawrence Co.
3y Belgian - not vaccinated - Wayne Co.
Standardbred - not vaccinated - Washington Co.

Give up? They are all horses that have died recently in NY state from Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and there are many more. This is a 100% preventable disease through vaccination (you know, the “E” in your EWT). 🥺

🦟 Sometimes we hear, “my horse doesn’t travel so he doesn’t need these vaccines.” Nothing could be more false. EEE (and West Nile Virus) are transmitted through mosquitoes. Horses don’t need to travel to be exposed to mosquitoes.

Don’t skip a simple and affordable vaccine that will prevent a deadly, and increasingly more common, disease that IS in our area.

Update: we have found our help 🙂

We could use one more volunteer (to work with others) to help manage the arena for the donkey & mule show at the dutchess county fair on Friday, Aug 23rd. Responsibilities would include helping set up events (relatively light moving), gate management, and some manure management of the arena. Hours are 9am-3pm (with breaks).

If anyone is interested in being part of this fun event, please send a PM. We can offer a pair of Fair tickets to be used another day as a thank you. But, it's really about sharing in the kind of joy as shown in the picture! :-)
