Officials with the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame have released the details of an afternoon event that will focus on caring for horses in winter and the making of model horse blankets.
Visit the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, located at 240 Main Street, Goshen, NY, on Sunday, February 18 from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. for a presentation and activities related to understanding the effects of winter weather on horses.
Participate in experiments that explain and illustrate the stress that cold wet weather can impose. To add to the fun, bring your favourite model horse and design a felt blanket of your own design and ride the 3-D simulator. The cost is $5 for this event and free to current 4-H members.
