The Ganaraska Forest Horse Club (GFHC) is prepar- ing many events and activities for the 2010 trail riding season!! The club has been fortunate to see a steady increase in our membership as the popularity of trail rid- ing continues to grow.
We hope your horses all fared well over the winter. The process of shedding out their winter woolies cou- pled with “paddock cleanup duty” is the prominent chore for all of us! Think of it as contributing to your exercise regime in preparation for the trail riding season! On Sunday January 24 the club hosted its annual Family Sleigh ride at Kennedys Maple Sugar bush in Millbrook. Many people joined in the fun and friendship with horse drawn sleigh rides, hot dogs and marshmal- lows toasted over the roaring fire, hot chocolate and tobogganing. The enclosed picture is of the 2009 GFHC Executive at the Sleigh ride. The Club is very lucky to have such a dedicated group that work together on behalf of its membership!

Ganaraska Forest Horse Club mission statement:
~~HAPPY TRAILS~~
“To develop a fellowship with other equine enthusiasts that allows one to safe- ly enjoy trail riding in the Ganaraska For- est.”
GFHC held our annual fundraising dance on Saturday March 6. We had a very successful dance with a capaci- ty crowd. Folks joined in on our “fiesta theme” with everything from pin the tail on the donkey, the piñata (which was a “knock out”) and nonstop dancing with music that was awesome. The club is pleased with the success of its silent auction. Funds raised from this dance allow us to continue to support community events and enhance trail riding in the Ganaraska Forest working in conjunction with the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority.
