Drum roll please - here's the before and after of the newly renovated Manager's Booth at the Hollis Equestrian Park! We hoped to show it off at the Fun Show and Open House last weekend, but the weather did not cooperate. Many thanks to the HEP Board and volunteers who worked hard to bring new life to this great community resource. The park is now open and the first show of the season is on Sunday. There are still available dates if you would like to book the park for a show or event this season. And don't forget to join HEP - Members may come and use the park any time it is not rented out; it's a great way to get your horse out and practice.
Membership and park rental information are on the website:

Curse the weather gods! The forecast for Saturday is a washout with an inch of rain expected. We want to be fair to Fat Guys and our friends so we are canceling our Open House and Fun Show. We will keep you posted if we can find a date to reschedule. Thank you to all our supporters!
P.S. I will contact people about refunding fees.

Snow in April? Didn’t stop our dedicated volunteers and we had a successful Spring Cleanup Day at the Hollis Equestrian Park. We’re making a lot of progress on the Manager’s Booth renovations, and can’t wait to show it off at the Fun Show and Open House on April 26. Now please can we have some sunshine and warm weather so we can get the exterior stained? Thanks so much to all who helped: Mike Pulsoni, Kristen Pretorius, Yvette and Craig Woodman, Susan Pendleton, Pat Hawley, Gina McMachen, and our new friends Heidi and Amy Delano. Hope to see you on the 26th!
