I started a local horsey facebook group about a year ago, as many of you know I organized a Halloween ride which everyone said they really enjoyed and decided to organize more stuff.
So we have a show and tell series for the winter;
First aid for lami, colic and lacerations being given by a member who is a 5th year vet student
An equisage demo from a member who does it as a business
A nutrition talk from our local feed manufacturer
A rope halter and paracord braiding session that I am doing
Keeping safe in the forest from our friendly forest ranger
A human first aid talk from a member who works in care
A talk on heavy horse turnout from a couple of members who have and show heavies
And all being held at the local pub/social club that we use when we do rides too, they have even offered to open up for us on nights they don't normally open. I'm really chuffed that people are giving up their time and we are able to do these for free (I bet you could do them as fund raisers though if you wanted an idea)
We also have a boxing day ride planned and I plan to do another for Easter (maybe an egg hunt )
