Lonsdale Winter/Holiday Parade

Hope & Horses is participating in the Lonsdale parade on Saturday, December 8 at 2:30. Please see information below. They do allow outriders, so please come ride with us! If you don't own a horse or are unable to participate with your equine partner, please feel free to come watch. Look for Rollie Geibe driving Bjorn, the Fjord, and Sue Lockling and her Percheron, Prince. Sue Barlage will be an outrider. Bring the kids, enjoy the Christmas festivities.

Registration for equine units is taken up to and including the day of the event, though they would prefer advance registration/ notification in order to have enough food prepared. The registration form is at the bottom of this post. Hope to see you there - we had a blast last year!
