Spring Update
PROGRAMMING UPDATE!!!
There is so much fun to be had in the upcoming summer! Pat Brooks has offered to host the next unmounted meeting at her sweet pad in the country! Please bring all of your info. regarding great places to camp with your horses. We will share our wealth of equine camping knowledge over wine and cheese. Date to be determined so stay tuned.
The first mounted event was held at Shea Rose Farm. This was an experience unlike anything we have ever done. Vaulting is the best way to truly "get your cantor seat" said one of the members. This needs to be an annual event/training if not more often! NOTE: Lynn was most amazing in her perfect stand! Thanks to Carol Land and her wonderful horses.
There is a equine show in Raleigh July 12th for anyone interested. Please go to www.equineextravaganza.com for info. regarding this event our club intends to travel to in July.
Blessings to you all,
Happy Summer and safe riding!

Welcome
The name for our local chapter has been decided! Welcome to Manes 'N Reins. We are a chapter in NC of OPRC (Old People's Riding Club). This year we hope to accomplish a 1x/mo. meeting either mounted or unmounted. The first two meetings will be focused on First Aid and CPR ("Man Down" response) followed up with a training at Wintree Farm.
Do not forget to send your dues to Marisa Epps. Her address is 517 Pacer Ln Marvin, NC 28173. Dues are $35 for single and $50 for a couple.
Looking forward to this new chapter and our new adventures in learning, riding and socializing together.
