There is still time this year to make an impact on The
Horse Park at Woodside. Your critical donation,
which is tax deductible, will support our staff during
the winter season and allow for equipment upgrades,
facility improvements, and land recovery. If you are
able to help the Park at this time, we would be most
grateful.
Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy holiday season.

In an effort to maintain this equine treasure, the Horse Park offers low cost memberships for both equine sports as well as for dog walking. Over the years it has been donations to our non-profit that have allowed this beautiful park to thrive. Everything we achieve, we do so because of generous individuals that share our vision and dedication to providing opportunities for educational, recreational and competitive activities in a variety of equestrian disciplines.
