Alan and I just slept for 3 days and are now up and kicking! Hahaha. Thanks to all of our fantastic campers and riders and their very very nice horses! What a great success again for the Northampton Fire & Rescue ! So many of you donated extra money, bought tons of raffle tickets and supported us with your nice comments too. Hope to see you all on the May 5th Weekend for Spring 2018!
P.S. I was told that folks have been turned down by me by phone... please pass the word that for the last couple of years at least, we have gotten everyone in that wanted to get on our short waiting list. We are very grateful for the wonderful interest in our ride, and we strive to get all folks in who express interest.
Reminder: Helmets on anyone under 18, and no buddy seats! Our landowners are very strict about these two rules and we must comply. Thank you so much!
If you need me or Alan today, our phone numbers are on the trail info... or email me at courserfarmlane@gmail.com See u today or tomorrow! Safe travels !
