There’s a major snowstorm set to hit our area this weekend, starting Friday night and continuing into Saturday, with predictions of 2 feet of snow for our area. But despite the wintry weather, there are still equestrian events that will go on in our area this weekend.
If you want to spend the weekend with your horses, load up now and head for the Virginia Horse Center for the Stonewall Country Horse Show. The show will continue, althoughit will be condensed to one arena. Show manager Leslie Brown said via email, “We have horses on the grounds, and we will continue with the show.”
Also scheduled this weekend:
- Equine Demo & Workshop, Jan. 23, B.A.R.N. facility, Buckingham, Va. (11851 W. James Anderson Hwy) The event will post on it’s Facebook page if the event is canceled because of the weather.
