Event, Trail Ride in the UConn Forest

Oh yes, a trail ride through the woods on a hot day, which will arrive sooner than you think.

Reserve your spot on this ride, sponsored by the Connecticut Museum of Natural History, led by Jen Nadeau, UConn equine extension specialist, set for Saturday, Aug. 6, 9:30 a.m. to noon. Cost is $60 for adults and those age 13 and older. Participants must be intermediate to advanced riders.

Trek through miles of forest, across fields, and along streams to see animal species that are shy in the presence of humans, but comfortable with horses.

To register, see www.cac.uconn.edu.

Also of note, the Hudson Valley All-Arabian Horse Show, Friday, May 13 through Sunday, May 15 is at Eastern States Exposition (home of "The Big E"), West Springfield, Mass. Free.
