Twin Tiers Horse Activities, July 28 - Aug. 2, 2012

It's almost fair week!  The Chemung County Fair horse shows are starting on August 2. Does anyone else love their local county fair horse shows as much as I do?  I think it's a "glory days" thing with me.

A special thanks to BRENDA A., who took such great care of our beasties while both hubby and I vacated the premises on separate business trips.

Here's the run-down for this weekend and into next week.  Have a great time with your horses this week!
