THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER UPDATE A NOTE FROM SAMANTHA LESTER, THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER MANAGER Summertime is here! We officially kicked off our riding and camp season. Thank you to all of our members and their guests for coming to visit us at “Horses After Dark.” The horses and pigs enjoyed all of the treats and attention they received. Our first movie night was a success even though it rained and was a bit chilly outside. We moved the movie inside and wrapped up with horse blankets and enjoyed popcorn! I would like to welcome “Laura’s Patriot” to our barn. Laura is owned by Olivia Kaczmarskyj. Laura is a thoroughbred mare. Her bloodlines are incredible, and her unique background makes her an awesome horse to have in our barn. Laura was foaled in New York and had a winning track career from 2014-2020, with multiple first place wins. Laura is also a decedent of Secretariat along with a few other great racehorses. Laura arrived at the ban on June 6th and has settled in wonderfully. She has a calm, sweet, and loving disposition and is super friendly.
Horse Facts:
-Horses walk at an average of 4 miles per hour and trot at or between 6-7 miles per hour. -Horses, like humans, have 5 main senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and feeling, but it is generally considered that horses have a “sixth” sense. This is their ability to sense imminent weather changes, danger, and also pick up on human feelings.
