2012 Winter Scramble

Think Local….support a Great Cause!

NETRA and the Seacoast Trail Riders Club present the “Winter Scramble”, Sunday, January 22 at Kingswood Farm, home of Wings and Hooves Therapeutic Riding, Inc. The gates at 8 Freeman Street, East Kingston, NH open at 7am with the first race commencing at 9am.

A local marine color guard unit, made up of soldiers recently returned from Iraq, will participate in the opening ceremonies and members from the UNH Music Department will accompany them. Additionally, the East Kingston Volunteer Fire Department is part of the team this year and will be firing up their grills and serving a warm and scrumptious lunch!

This daylong series of off-road motorcycle races brings folks from all over the East Coast and as far north as Canada! It’s a day of excitement for racers as well as spectators and helps to support two very important non-profit organizations in our town of East Kingston. A percentage of the proceeds garnered from the event will be donated to the East Kingston Volunteer Fire Department and our very own Wings and Hooves Therapeutic Riding Instruction and Horsemanship programs!

Wings and Hooves Therapeutic Riding, Inc. is located at Kingswood Farm in East Kingston and is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with physical, emotional and developmental disabilities by building confidence through equine-assisted activities and partnerships. We believe that equine activities bring out the best in people and allow them to soar to great heights while realizing their incredible potential. It’s all about turning “I wish” into “I can” and helping others to fly hoof by hoof!
