Adult Riding Club
With the success of its
recent Adult Riding Club,
C&M Stables will continue the
program with a new summer
session.
The program includes a 2-
hour ride during each of the
months of June, July and
August. The 2 hour rides will
follow the trail and beach, with
a 30-minute orientation before
the first ride.
Members who are interested
in learning how to groom and
saddle their horses as a part of
the experience are welcome to
come 30 minutes before each
ride. C&M Stables will pro-
vide members with the tools
necessary and offer instruction
on how it is done.

fall session will be available in

The Riding Club is open to
