Susan Glass will be our January program speaker. Fifteen months ago, she bought a 20 year old horse named Travis. She will tell us about her friendship with him, about caring for him and riding him, and about some of the adaptations that blind equestrians make in order to ride safely and athletically.

Among other things, we'll approve the 2021 Business Calendar distributed with your newsletter. Please read it!
