Tennis DINKS FOR DOGS / LOBS FOR LABS This past June, the Haig Point Tennis Center held two fundraising events for the Hilton Head Island Humane Association, and the members were generous; over $2,500 was raised during the two-day event. The event offered both pickleball and tennis round robins, a silent auction, merchandise sales, and a 50/50 pot. Thanks to all who supported this great group.
WIMBLEDON ROUND ROBIN It was strawberries and cream and Wimbledon whites for our annual Wimbledon Round Robin. A record turnout of participants enjoyed the tennis and especially the waffles, strawberries, and cream after the event.

Equestrian A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
It's been a busy summer on horseback here at the Equestrian Center. Our trail rides have never been so popular and our horses are working hard to keep up the demand! We continue to ask everyone to book lessons, pony rides and oceanfront rides as far in advance as possible so that we can accommodate. Please remember that we do require at least 24-hours notice to cancel any lessons and 48-hours notice to cancel trail rides so that we are able to offer that time to another rider. As many of you know, some of the Haig Point horses have been here for quite a while and are getting close to retirement! We have two seniors at our barn, Butterrow, a chestnut quarter horse who is 27 this year and Fawn, a small buckskin mare who is 26 this year. As such, their weekly work loads will be cut back and they will only be able to give occasional rides. They have worked very hard their entire lives and it's time for them to enjoy relaxing days in the sun eating grass. Two additional lesson horses will be joining our program this fall.
ECO TOUR with Claire Sistek Sunday, August 8th | 10 AM With a degree in Biology and a wealth of knowledge of the island ecosystem and birds, Claire will be leading a morning trail ride tailored to those interested in learning about the unique island environment via horseback.

Limited to four participants | $100 per person RIDE ‘N WINE Tuesday, August 24th | 4 PM Leisurely ride followed by wine and hors d’oeuvres. All rider levels welcomed.
