2013 Spring Horseshoe Club Appreciation Party

At this year's Spring HSC Appreciation Party members were able to meet, greet and groom their horses. They ate a BBQ lunch, socialized, learned to how to properly groom their horse and walked he or she through an obstacle course. The quality time was great bonding for both the members and the horses! One member said "That was very rewarding" after leading her horse back to his stall.
