The next Partnership with Horses meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 12, 5:30 – 7 p.m. The meeting will be at Valerie and Pete Quinn’s Farm at 2460 Mount Lebanon Road, Campobello.

We are fortunate to have renowned horseman, Ed Dabney, conducting a demonstration on “Achieving Communication, Respect, Trust, Lightness and Harmony through Essential Exercises.” Donations will benefit Georgia Equine Rescue League.
